Monday was the day my daughter and I have been anxiously awaiting since preschool started six months ago. Finally, it was her turn to be “Star of the Week”. And that meant it was my turn to make the “All About Me” poster. This is the kind of experience that I would have planned and…
Little Babycake has gotten big enough now that I often carry her around draped over one arm. When I’m around strangers, someone inevitably looks at me, gasps and says, “I thought that was a baby doll!” So here she is: My latest accessory. I have my purse, my diaper bag and my baby doll: Check…
OK. So, it’s taken me four days to write my post about this week’s episode of Lost: Sundown. This episode really gave me the creeps. I wanted to watch it a second time before writing my post, and I needed some extra time to process its spookiness. If the previous episode was analogous to Alice…

This is part 3 of my post on success. You can click here and here to read my first two posts on this topic. One thing that has been changing for me over the past few years has been my definition of success. What would have to happen in order for me to feel that…
Weighing in at about 10 pounds and with her super bald head, many people think little everydayBaby is still a newborn. But our 10-week-old is ready to get mobile. She has been doing her workouts faithfully, and we’re predicting she could be rolling over in a few weeks. Here she is in training. Roll right:…
