I am not just talking the biggies…the showstoppers. I am talking my dead father’s birthday which usually coincides with Labor Day. You name it,Continue reading “A Regular Day”

Breath
I am thankful for my first breath each morning. I was just on the phone with my girlfriend discussing the pesky things that make our days long. Then, as we always do, we interrupted ourselves to be grateful. If these minor annoyances were the worst part of our lives… we should probably suck it up.Continue reading “Breath”
Thankful
Being thankful. A month full of thankful posts. It all started years ago on FB after I listened to a children’s sermon on appreciating the bits of goodness in our lives. A simple concept that is so very hard to do. Be thankful for all the little stuff…and you will feel full. I decided toContinue reading “Thankful”
Harmony
Oh oh oh…mornings this time of year, so bright, crisp, clear. My little guy jumped out of the car and pointed towards the rising sun, pink clouds across the blue sky. LOOK! SUN BEAMS! His mom looked at me and said, who knew he knew the word beams…and right on cue he chimed in, whatContinue reading “Harmony”
Halloween Hauntings
Halloween. The holiday that makes me smile and swoon…and feel sick. Growing up in Queens it was all things good until it wasn’t. Once trick-or-treating with decorated grocery bags while dressed as a gypsy was in the past…and being a hobo with a pillowcase in one hand and shaving cream in the other was cool…IContinue reading “Halloween Hauntings”
be alive
Years of living…October 11th as remembered on social media. A drawing of Greg and me by our little neighbor, both of us wearing a-line dresses and smiling…Food pics from a Sunday cooking apple pie and chili, creating cozy…A meme of RBG, reminding us that she didn’t leave us, she just passed us the baton…A PlaybillContinue reading “be alive”
New York Goodness
My brother-in-law is completely delicious. I have a soft spot for him, mostly because he really didn’t know he was even a bit delicious until recently. Kind, smart, talented, cute, he would be kind of annoying if he was also not so gracious. His wife is also pretty spectacular, she is a wise ass, aContinue reading “New York Goodness”
Lessons in Social Media
“The worst parent award goes to these people”“This must be a really old picture, check out the phone cord and the ratty floors”“That kid is f*cked for life.“ This is my Olivia, she was probably 5 or so. Olivia hears her own drummer and Olivia does Olivia. She wanted to be Pee Wee Herman, notContinue reading “Lessons in Social Media”
You work?
You work? Yes, I am a graphic designer. That answer usually leads to an all knowing look which to me has always translated to… oh (smirk) she does art. I have always let it go because people who know me know how hard I work, they know my client list, they know I will workContinue reading “You work?”
Dogs, Dads, and Coconut Bras
Lately I have been thinking about time…not time as in, it is 10:23…time like in, there was a time when I walked my own kids to school each morning. A time when my husband was one of the few dads who worked from home. A time when Fall meant guessing what the high school musicalContinue reading “Dogs, Dads, and Coconut Bras”
