Writing my way through the joys and challenges of motherhood
My oldest daughter, Emma, is about to turn 10. 10! I am always looking for gift ideas that she’ll actually use. We don’t need more toys, no one buys movies or music anymore, and her clothes are already busting out of her dresser and closet. Emma has been dancing since she was 3, and there […]

Somehow I forget that every June is busy. The school year is coming to an end, extra-curriculars are wrapping up, and this year, with Rose being 5 now (!), in school and in a dance class that performs in the performance on the “big stage” it’s even busier than last year! Over the past few […]
