Next Rung on the Ladder

The Reborn Mom
Today my hair was colored and cut for the first time in almost two years. That’s kind of a long time. Yes- I was working very hard to grow out a pixie cut, but it was definitely more than that… I simply wasn’t making it a priority. Which is okay. But that says something. This ties into… Continue reading The Reborn Mom
The Gift of Ordinary, and Zaza in PICU: Day 2
I really try not to complain about being busy. For two reasons:
It’s annoying. EVERYONE is busy. We’re not alone or special in our busy-ness.

I would love to have a… Continue reading The Zaza Saga… from the start

An inauspicious end
2015 did not have the most auspicious ending. I had been hunting around for a babysitter for New Year’s Eve for a couple of weeks. Lots of dead-ends due to everyone else’s hopes for a fun evening and a memorable start to 2016. This particular New Year’s Eve was my eight-year anniversary with Jesse. Getting married on New Year’s… Continue reading An inauspicious end
