Lately, on Instagram
Can’t imagine doing this stage without all the people we love doing it with us. [Not shown: the couple who cussed out part of our group as they left, stating that the (overall pretty amazingly well behaved kids) stressed them out so much that they had to leave, and why had we had the audacity to bring our offspring to a bagel place instead of a park and maybe we shouldn’t have had kids. My first instinct is that they are bad awful people and I hate them. 🤷♀️But my second is to feel sorry for a society that wants to hide and silence its children. I will contritely apologize for my child knocking over a display case of mens’ underwear in Macy’s because he was trying to take the mannequin for a walk. But I will not for a second feel bad that I let my babies eat bagels and laugh with all the people I love.]Coffee date with my sister-in-law and her sweet babe [and a creepy window plant shadow]. I’m in this amazing 6 month window where all three of my sisters-in-law are having babies, thereby doubling my current niece/nephew count. This ever-growing, ever-changing family thing is the greatest joy. Unrelated: her latte is made with charcoal infused milk and WILMORE WHEN YOU GET SO COOL?Archives

Two days after Christmas our bank called us to tell us that we were the victim of credit card fraud, that some person had spent almost three thousand dollars on our card. This person wasn’t very intelligent, using it to … Continue reading
A love like cotton.
Today I celebrate two years of marriage with the best man I know. They say that the second year is the cotton anniversary, which I initially thought ridiculous. Who wants cotton? Also, who pays attention to those lists anyway? Still, the … Continue reading
Goodbyes.
Today I am loading up the car and headed to Kentucky to spend two weeks with my family. I love going home, but this goodbye to James packs a greater punch because when I get back, he’ll be gone. On … Continue reading
What I would do differently.
Confession: I still look through my wedding pictures a lot. James made me take down some of the millions that I had spread around our house once we had been married a year, but I still look through them on … Continue reading
Loving winter.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way: it’s cold outside. DC plunged into the single digits this week, and I know that the rest of the country had far worse. Now, I realize that this is record breaking cold, … Continue reading
