To make matters […]
Coincidence or Serendipity?
On Father’s Day, I was talking to my parents and randomly decided to check airfare to visit them in Florida. We already had a trip planned two months later, so I knew we’d see them soon. But we had a couple of weeks at the end of June with not much going on. All of […]

Projecting Anxiety in Momhood: Is it Mine or Theirs?
It happens a lot as a mom with anxiety. My kids are faced with situations that I find overwhelming and I project my own anxiety onto them. Or do I? Ronin has had some struggles with anxiety in his early years. At seven, he’s so much more confident than he used to be and has flourished […]
Entertaining When You Have Kids
Disclosure: I received sparkling wine and #LiveGloriously party supplies from Gloria Ferrer. All opinions are my own. One year ago, this giant trampoline lived in our dining area.

Becoming Someone Else
As children we like to play pretend, be creative and dress up. We love to act silly, bold or brave and become someone else. But once we grow up, that isn’t always the case anymore. Dressed as Queen Elsa with Crocheted Hat/Wig and Tepig from Pokemon I suppose I never grew up because I’ve always […]

Unfolding a Birthday Surprise: Kids Poster Cards
Ronin turned seven this Sunday. SEVEN! And he’s been counting down to the BIG day for months. We love birthdays around here and always try to do it up and make the kids feel very special. But one thing I don’t often get them are kids cards. I mean really, as a preschooler, Ronin hardly ripped the envelope before […]
An Ode to Pumpkin
I wandered through the aisles of store The ones I’d walked on times before When all at once I saw a gourd A host, of ten or twenty more Above the apples, next to squash A deepest orange I thought quite posh Its flavor beckoned here and there In beverage, food, upon the air Oh autumn I am […]
