Dear Finley, We have been "working" at home together for a week. I started at home on Monday, March 16th, 2020 because I had cold symptoms and then work mandated remote work beginning Wednesday (the 18th) due to the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020. That means....we've been working and spending our days together. Work to me…
Time for Gratitude: Happy 2019
I am grateful. 2019 has had several amazing moments and also very, very, very difficult and painful moments. But I am grateful. I am grateful for my family who will never let me fall.

Time for Motherhood: Finn at Ten Months
I think looking back, the 9th-10th month time period will be one we will reflect had many, many changes. Your snake slide turned into a full on crawl. You move lightening fast, especially when you know we don't want you to crawl into a certain area. You pull yourself up so you stand on your…
Time for Motherhood: Finn at Six Months
Finn is now six months. Six months! In the beginning, I thought by six months I'd be an exceptional parent and pretty much know everything there is to know. Now I know the truth- not a chance. I may never know. We had our first Christmas together. It was a strange one with ice, illnesses,…

Time for Motherhood: Letters to my Son (Week 35)
Dear Little One, Week 35! It's happening! During the past week, a lot happened! I started making your nursery into more of a real room. Clothes are unpacked into dressers, elephant stickers are on the wall, pictures are hanging, and much more. I still love to peek inside your room, just waiting until the day…
Time for Motherhood: Letters to my Son (33 Weeks Pregnant)
Dearest Little One, Well. With each passing week, you are getting bigger and bigger. And your protective carriage also gets bigger and bigger. But with each growing inch on me, I know it means you are getting healthier and stronger. I want you to come into the world as healthy as can be. I read…
Time for Lyrics and NO Worry
I'm so lucky to have people in my life who worry about me, just as much as I worry about them. It's a blessing and a curse of course - for the worrier and the person who is worried the other is worrying too much. My sister Trish is one of those such people. We've…
Time for Gratitude: November 13, 2016
Today I'm grateful for my sister Trish. She has always been my rock, my anchor, and my buoy. I can't imagine living in this world without her.
