Finds of the Week:

  • The Afterlife of Pia Farrenkopf, The New Yorker — This whole situation is just absurd and sad; this particular article looks how Ms. Farrenkopf kept “living” through her virtual doppelganger, and leads me to some interesting thoughts on the definition of self and identity.
  • The Free-Marketing Gravy Train Is Over on Facebook, Time — Boo.  Not the best news for those of us who make our living in social media.
  • How often does breastfeeding come undone?, Breastfeeding Medicine — A look at how often and why women stop breastfeeding.
  • Is Walmart the Biggest SNAP Beneficiary?, Food Politics — 🙁
  • New Parenting Study Released, The New Yorker — It’s just…you have to read it.  Hilarious, and I’ll leave it at that.
  • A Second Embrace, With Hearts and Eyes Open, NY Times — A story of a married couple who divorced and found one another again.
  • Was It Fatal for You, Darling?, NY Times — About having sex as we age — seriously one of the funniest things I have read, ever.  “When this happens with a guy in his 40s or 50s, it’s not a concern. You’re either (best case) reveling in your own state of bliss or (worst case) feeling relieved because now you’ll be able to go to the kitchen and get a Diet Pepsi.  But when you get that look with a guy in his late 60s or early 70s, there’s just one question: Is he dead?”  (Something to look forward to, I guess?)
  • Water Babies: Docs Challenge Growing Trend — Childbirth In A Tub, WBUR — About a recent ACOG opinion on water birth.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️
