I just spent a few minutes standing beside my daughter’s crib staring at her and thinking about the joy she brings to my life.
A year ago today I was awaiting her arrival. And while I remember life before mother hood and admit to being open to the idea of a night out of the house, I cannot remember how it felt not to know Sophia’s laugh or her cry, or how it feels when she gives me a hug. Did I know that these things were missing in my life, or did I just have no idea how fulfilling parenthood would be?

The guidelines for feminism have become awful narrow lately in fact they are choking some of us to death.
And call me crazy but the basis of feminism is equal rights for women. I don't see any men getting grilled on their babysitter situation...do you?

We can yell all we want and they still won’t hear us. It's the things we don't say that can have a lasting impact, and that's a little bit scary.

Imagine my excitement when I read Louis Llovio's article today about Cartwheels & Coffee in Carytown. It's a coffee shop for parents - what more could a girl want. Kids play in supervised play areas while parents enjoy coffee. I have been waiting for a place like this.

The most boring person I ever was, was when I was trying to be someone else. I made a poor imitation of someone else.

Really, do we have to resort to a special night out? Does it really have to have a name? Are we going to have to make a national holiday out of it next? National Girl's Night Out?
I for one ain't celebrating.

I have been counting my blessings this week and they are many. If you've got a couple little blessings in your life or even a couple of big uns...let 'em know here. Post a comment about your blessings. (Look- I'm not trying to be Oprah- everyone loves to hear why they are loved...so stop scoffing and write.)

There's nothing like sweet sweet summertime, except sweet sweet school time.

It's that time again: family vacation time. If we could all just have a room of our own or maybe just learn to roll with the punches and
appreciate our differences then we might just have a good time. That being said....I can't wait till next year!
