Three Boys and A Lady
I have a surprising – to me, anyway – number of male readers. I LOVE that you are here, by the way, so please hang out. You add a certain Je Ne Sais Quoi to the vibe. (Even more so if you would, ahem, leave comments.) Upon learning from a male that he reads this […]
Clarity
Xavi. My darling, darling Xavi. He certainly offers me a different set of challenges than the trials I experienced with Carlitos at his age. But dang if that kid doesn’t also bring a variety of clever, goofy, humor to the table that is as unique and loveable as he is. And then sometimes he reminds […]

I Am Who I Am
My husband and I tried to install front and rear car bumper/grill thingies this weekend.

Appreciating the Appreciation
“Does your husband appreciate you?!?! I sure hope so!” says an acquaintance to me as I am leaving the YMCA, Carlitos running ahead as I yell for him to STOP! and Xavi squirming to get away from the death grip I’ve got on all four limbs as I carry him down the sidewalk. Xavi continues […]
Cape Cod Swallowed Me Whole
We just came back from about ten days on Cape Cod, visiting my parents. Other than a few Facebook updates (a good hundred less than usual) and some Instagram posts, I was relatively technology-free while we were there. Okay. Lies. I posted a lot of Instagram photos, but still. For the most part I tried […]
