What I’m learning as a mom of two under two

I feel compelled to tell you that I’m writing this in my iPhone notes while wearing my baby in a sling outside in the sunshine. The purpose is twofold: It’s an attempt to get her to take a much-resisted nap, and it’s vitamin-D exposure (plus a chance to drink the glass of wine in my […]

13 things I’ve learned in 13 months of motherhood

I have to just start this out by saying that this post almost wrote itself while I was rocking my baby to sleep for her first nap of the day in the semi-darkness of the early morning beside the thrumming space heater we use to keep her room warm in the winter. (Yes, winter: keep […]

Some thoughts from a new army wife

I never imagined myself as an “army wife.”

For a rainy day

Once upon a time, there was a girl who thought all rainy days should mean a free pass from having to perform life; that they should be spent with good music, warm coffee and a little whimsy.
