    I decided that this website was long overdue for a content and theme overhaul, so I sat down at the kitchen table this weekend and made it happen. Vivienne was playing around with my phone and snapped this photo, so I thought I’d share it. Longer post on the new website coming soon.

    Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

    Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. Zara’s costume was my favorite this year – Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad’s wedding. She might have worn it better.

    Before and after. The girl who has been obsessed with Rapunzel since she was tiny and only a few haircuts in her life, finally agreed to getting a real hair cut. I think it turned out pretty cute…and way easier to brush.

    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…
