“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 [...]

what children teach us
Two years and another child later, this post originally published on May 24, 2008 reminds me not much has changed. Anyone who knows my 2-year-old, Dillon, knows that I have my hands full. He, in my totally biased opinion, has an amazing personality and is so cute I could bite his nose right off his [...]

the best laid plans…
It’s twenty days until the 2010 Moms’ Run and I’m trying not to hyperventilate. There’s something about planning a major event that is very fulfilling… it’s amazing to see all the hard work come together and take on a life of its own. But that’s also what’s so scary about it. Doing something so big [...]

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.

in the blink of an eye
When I started blogging, I never intended to take my readers into the trenches of my life as a not-so-Supermom. Yet in my last post, that’s clearly what I did. My oldest son just turned four, and he warms my heart and breaks it every single day. I can’t come to terms with how fast [...]

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 [...]

four years ago today…
… I was lying in a hospital bed, playing cards with my best friend, taking bets on the size and weight of my baby boy. At 11:46 pm, Dillon arrived weighing in at 6 pounds, 10 ounces and 20 inches long. I can’t remember who won the bet. I can remember how magical it felt [...]

the generation of choice
I had a wonderful telephone conversation with my grandmother recently. The surface of small-talk was broken, and suddenly we were chatting candidly about how different it is today.

no regrets
People want to know if we’re done having kids. This week, I answer that question (indirectly) over at Hybrid Mom. I’ll let you in on something… the essay isn’t really about whether there’s a minivan in my future. It’s about having no regrets. It’s about having things in our lives that are “worth it” no [...]
