The Night Terrors Continue
I’m writing today in search of a little company and maybe some answers. Em has been having night terrors again, at least that’s what we think they are. They take place at the same time every night, between the hours of 11 and midnight and start 3 hours after he falls asleep. It usually takes…

On Soccer Camp.
I am constantly learning new things as a mother. For example, last week I learned that getting a 3-year-old to listen to a soccer coach for three hours in 90+ degree heat is impossible. We tried. I had high expectations, but it went just about as smoothly as Mom and Baby Yoga. The good news…

This Picture Says 1000 AWESOME Words.
Emory set up this shot. He put the creatures on the table, arranged them, and then went and grabbed my heavy Nikon D200, turned it on and yelled, “SAY CHEESE!” So: that’s me in the background telling me how not to drop it and where to aim. We have about 27 versions similar to the…

Mom's the Word.

There are so many stories I want to share daily; stories I have actually written but never push live. I just…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 128) A New Diet.

The Nanny and Separation Anxiety.
We have been using a nanny for a little over a month. She came highly recommended by the owner of our building who has employed her for two years and continues to every day after her kids are out of school. (I have her in the mornings, three days a week.) She’s been perfectly fine.…

Snowy Brooklyn. Photos.
We finally got our snowstorm. So this morning before things got too unruly out there, I decided to take Emory for a walk. All was well for a while. He even pelted me with snowballs. But then something happened with his hands. They started to hurt because ice cold stuff on bare hands hurts! Naturally,…
