hump day nuggets: sweet challenge

February 23, 2011
hump day nuggets: little bits of the season in photos and words about the last weekSnow continues to fall and my kids continue to grow. It’s nice to rely on these things. Last week over dinner, Margot turned to her dad and said, “You know, I like children’s museums more than I like children.” Last week I sighed and Ruby leaned over and gave me an open-mouth kiss on my nose. Sometimes I want to pause my kids. It all … Continue reading hump day nuggets: sweet challenge →

a bag for mama

February 22, 2011
Last night, after an exhausting day of caring for my sick family, I decided to not even consider my pile of work. I needed to do something for me. It was late, snowing and cold. I couldn’t find a leash and I couldn’t stand to be inside for another moment so Alice and I headed out into the snowy night, boundless. I walked hard and fast. The cold air burned. I let go a little bit with every deliberate step. … Continue reading a bag for mama →

be mine

February 14, 2011
Hello sweethearts. Margot wanted to make a ‘happy valentine’s day video’ and took the opportunity to sing her favorite song.  I remember making and passing out valentines in elementary school into tiny baskets on each kid’s desk. I was always so excited to see what my classmates chose to give me. Like my horoscope, I’d always read what I wanted to read. If my crush gave me a Kermit card, I just *knew* it meant he wanted to hold hands. … Continue reading be mine →
