    Chris had to work Father’s Day, but we still managed to surprise him with a little morning celebration, started off with a card Nora picked out all on her own.  It is Snoopy and pop-up which she loved instantly, but when I read it after buckling her into her car seat to go home, I…

    I can’t believe I’ve been so bad about posting lately.  But, in my defense, we’re working on some family addition and I have been exhausted. I actually took not just one but two naps yesterday (which is why the obligatory Father’s day homage to the awesome Dada in our family never happened).  I have to apologize if…

    Sunday was Chris and my fifth anniversary. Yesterday, we celebrated with our first date in over a year.  We ate an amazing dinner at American Seasons, which was utter perfection from atmosphere to service to food. Then we headed over to watch the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket put on Noises Off.  The play was wonderfully…

    I am one of those people who bakes for happiness.  If I’m upset or a little bummed out, mixing and stirring is all it takes to find a little joy.  Most of the time, I don’t even eat my creations, it’s the making that is therapeutic.   Today I was definitely more than a little…

    Not long ago, I asked for some advice about Nora’s shyness and if it was normal for a child her age or excessive.  I got a ton of comments, Facebook messages and emails, and I really appreciated all of them so much.  I think one of the things I most love about my online community…
