While on our first family vacation in years (pure fun…no weddings, commitments, or musts), I read an Insta post from a local mom of four littles. It was labeled “Day 4864 of Winter Break”. I remember those days, when ten days off from school seemed like a lifetime. The circled date on the calendar whenContinue reading “Re-entry”

Survivor
Happy New Year. Since I closed 2021 swooning about a tv show from my past, I will start 2022 swooning about a current favorite.

This past December as the pandemic resurfaced we considered cancelling again, but in the end decidedContinue reading “Survivor”

Bandaging up my missing left heel, in her deep and delicious Trinidadian accent, she said, Kat, you canContinue reading “Make a Great Day”

After welcoming me, my mom was eager to bond in the air conditioned hospital. My dad was eager to… get to FireContinue reading “Opening Fire Island”
