Fire Truck Grocery Carts, Calliou and Other Universally Despised Items

I love my daughter more than I have words to explain. Like I seriously watch her sleep at night and can feel myself falling more in love with her in that actual moment. But for the love of god, there are a handful of things that she gravitates toward that make me INSANE. In fact, I realized that I have formed a (perhaps slightly crazy) list of banned items that I have running through my head at pretty much all times. And I have to believe that I am not alone in my disdain.

Another Year Come and…Almost Gone… and Perhaps the Best Year Yet?

I recently had lunch with a close friend and former coworker and as he sat down at the table, he looked up at me and said, “You look…You look…so…so…happy.” And without pause I said, “I am! At least much more so than when we were working together at this time last year. God, I was […]

“You Don’t Hear Nothing, MOM!” (When do kids learn how to lie?)

I can’t lie to save my life. And if I manage to tell a falsehood, anyone that even sort of knows me, know that all you have to do is ask me twice to get the real answer out of me. Friend: “Do you like this paint color?” Me: “Yes!” (said in really high pitched […]

So Beautiful…And So What I Needed

I am sort of really obsessed with a rainbow that appeared over my parent’s house this evening…and although the beauty is enough on it’s own, I will give a little context as to why I loooooove it because – well because – I can’t help myself. Ellie and I are at my parent’s house for the […]

“The old dreams were good dreams; they didn’t work out but I’m glad I had them”

An old college friend came to visit Ellie and I this past weekend…he drove more than 8 hours to come and chill for about 40 hours…and I use the term “chill” very loosely – because a precocious two-year-old leads to many things – but chillin ain’t one of them. He also came to catch […]

The Little Spoon

Guest Post By TJ Garvin Every night my daughter asks my wife and I to sing her “our” song. For my wife that song is short and simple and all about Reagan, a sweet made up song that basically says my daughter is crazy – but in a sweet loving bed time song. My […]

A Control Room is Nothing Compared to a Toddler

She broke me. She, being my 22-month-old darling, broke me. Well it was a combo of her and trying to do laundry in Manhattan. But regardless, Sunday marks the first time my child actually made me cry. Ok – here is the situation…in our building of 6 floors with 8 units on each, there are […]

Soundtrack of Self-Doubt

I was out to dinner with a group of friends a few weeks ago, and almost everyone at the table was a parent…which meant – no matter how hard we would try – conversations would ultimately head toward talk of our kids. One of the moms was talking about milestones and discipline and how when […]

“Is This Getting Easier or Are We Getting Better At This?”

After a less than spectacular week at work, I headed out to my parents house and I sent one of my closest friends a text that said: Pizza, beach and kids for dinner? When she responded with a resounding YES, I thought to myself, With four kids under 4, and two adults, pizza, sand and […]
