“Mommy, please hold me,” the newborn said. “I have never been alone, and I don’t like it.” “Oh darling,” Mommy said, “You’re never alone. Sometimes I have to set you down so I can take care of your big sisters, or make lunch, or take a shower, but Mommy is always nearby.” “But Mommy,” the tiny baby insisted, “I need …
No. I Don’t Have Tourrette’s. I’m A Mother.
This morning, as I nursed my one-month-old, ate a bowl of cereal, and spoon-fed my toddler breakfast all at the same time, it occurred to me that if I blogged the way I talk then it would read something like this: Having two young daughters is a lot of – don’t touch that – that fun. My toddler turns two …
7 Things to Never EVER Say to a Pregnant Woman
Seven things to never, EVER say to a pregnant woman: “Sleep now! You won’t be able to once the baby is here!” OK, you try sleeping with a watermelon sized tummy, an aching body, and a baby kicking you in the bladder, ribs, and lungs every night between midnight and 5AM. It doesn’t happen! In fact, it’s much easier to …
Does Worry Mean I Lack Faith? Pregnancy & Fear of Miscarriage
I haven’t felt the baby in 2 days … I know that’s normal at 16 – 17 weeks but I’m so much more scared that something will go wrong with this pregnancy. I think part of it is because it’s so different than my pregnancy with Elowyn (now 17 months). There’s been no morning sickness, barely any round ligament pain … just …
Creative Seasons: Songwriting, Parenting, and Things-I-Never-Thought-I’d-Say
I used to write a song or more a week, but since I had Baby E, I’ve only written one or two over the course of a year. Of course, I’m in the studio working on producing an album too, so it’s not really “writing season,” it’s more a “production season” (I go through different seasons of creativity), so that …

Yet Another Reason Why iPhones are Awesome
So about five minutes ago I was sitting on my couch feeding Elowyn a bottle and playing with my iPhone when I wondered what kind of recording quality the memo app would deliver. I decided to record myself singing, “You Are My Sunshine.” Here’s what happened: You Are My Sunshine What do you think? I was thinking, this might be …
Women: We were made for so much more than sex!
Pop Culture would have it that women are supposed to be sexual beings. And we are. But we were made for so much more! Our feminine graces, our maternal instincts, our soft curves, our ability to heal, sooth, and calm … these gentle powers may not be valued in the eyes of the mainstream as “sexy,” or “cool,” … Forget …
Why I Decided To Adopt: Shadowfax the Cat featured in Montgomery County Animal Shelter’s Blog
“Earlier this year, when I was 5 months pregnant, we found out that my dear little friend, Miss Agatha Mittens, had cancer. It was a tumor in her jaw bone, and there was nothing to be done.
