There are a lot of reasons to celebrate today. The Moms’ Run was a success– attendance doubled from previous years. You can read more about the race here and how it will benefit women with postpartum depression here. When the race began… I got chills. I was jumping and clapping and wishing I had a pair of [...]

big love
“We had a long period this winter when both my kids were sick for weeks. And I was so worried about them. And I felt so exhausted from the worry. But my husband just kept reminding me that you can’t love so big without consequences. And I’d never give up that big love. But living [...]

the final countdown
My husband jokes with our children, “Don’t do drugs. Don’t go into TV.” We are both journalism majors, and we met in a TV production class in college. He taught me how to edit video (ahhhh) and we worked at three television stations together. But despite Daddy’s wishes, it looks like big baby Blake has [...]

tale of a not so supermom
Originally published on HybridMom.com About a month before I gave birth to my second child, I took an online quiz. Which Superhero was I? I was dying to know. On Facebook, I had adopted a strict “no quiz” policy. But since I had found the Superhero quiz on a friend’s blog, the rule didn’t count. [...]

coffee pot of gold
Originally published on HybridMom.com I have returned to the phase of motherhood where I wonder if I’ll ever sleep again. It’s at least an hour before dawn and my infant son has just fallen back to sleep. My two older boys (3-year-old child and 35-year-old husband) are either snoring or sawing down large trees, I’m [...]

clearly I’ve hit a nerve
For as long as I’ve been blogging (coming up on two years) I have never written something that has generated 50+ comments. That is, until recently, when one of the essays I wrote for Hybrid Mom was posted on the front page of the parenting section of Shine.

breathe. be happy.
Originally published on HybridMom.com Lately, I’ve been playing a mind game with myself. It’s called “Breathe. Be happy.” When I’m running late, which is always, I remind myself to breathe and be happy. When both children are crying, I take a breath and smile at the little darlings. It’s just a game and I don’t [...]

silly, seussy, slacker mom
You may be wondering where I’ve been all week. Or if you’re like me, you’re completely unaware a whole week has passed. Tuesday, I drove to Columbia to give a talk to the Greater Columbia Area Mothers of Twins. The next thing I knew, it was Friday morning. That’s when I remembered I was supposed [...]

pardon me while I rearrange the furniture
I’m in heaven right now. I spent the weekend all by myself. Alone. Just me. Did I mention I had the weekend to myself? I retreated to a hotel in my beautiful historic city and spent two glorious days locked inside my room. No TV. No noise. My husband gets credit for arranging this get-away. [...]
