The Baby House

When our last pregnancy ended we told our daughter very little. She was smaller then. And my heart hurt so very much. Talking about it ached. But the thing about children is their incredible perception, depth and awareness about what goes on around them. Even when you are certain they aren’t listening… they are. Last…

Mean Mom

“YOU’RE MEAN!” Hearing those words for the first time didn’t go like I thought it would, sweet girl. I remember playing over and over in my head the day that you would scream, or squeak, or whisper that sentence because of frustration, or anger and I would let the tears fall. I would because I…

40 Years

On Saturday we threw a party. A very special party! My parents celebrated 40 years of marriage. That’s 40 years of I love you’s, clenched jaws, held hands, tears of joy and tears of sadness. 40 years of socks on the floor, driving frustrations, and sweet family memories. They tell me its been work. But…

I Saw Your Bum

At almost 3 (gasp) my daughter is growing so fast and changing everyday. Her questions are rapid and seem to be pulled out of thin air; “Why is the water going so fast?” “Who is that person?” “What’s that smell like?” “I saw your bum, want to see mine?” Keeping up with her, educating her,…
