Spoiler Alert: It DOES go by fast.

Hey Mamas,

Remember me? I know, it’s been a while.

I’m thrilled to be published on the Good Mother Project today with an essay called “When We Outgrow Our Path” about the winding journey and changing terrain of motherhood.

Spoiler alert: It DOES go by fast. (I know that was annoying…sorry.)

Here’s an excerpt:

As I tread into the murky and deepening waters of adolescence, I long for the simplicity of our long ago escapades around the little block. I even miss the ones that ended in tears, including mine. When I see moms with babies, I want to be annoying and tell them to enjoy every minute because it does go by fast. I’m not out of the woods by any means, but the physical demands of early motherhood have morphed into something intensely emotional. Everything is still hard, but it’s not my back that aches, it’s my heart.

Here’s the link to the full essay: http://goodmotherproject.com/2016/11/when-we-outgrow-our-path/.

Thanks in advance for reading and sharing and commenting and engaging and all that sweet social media stuff.

With gratitude,

On The Run: February 2016

Hey Mamas,

God forbid you miss anything I write, think, or utter under my breath, I have links here to everything I’ve done in February.

I dipped my toes in the world of investigative reporting. Have you been to Chuck E. Cheese’s lately?

I was published on The Good Men Project for the first time with a short and sweet (and carbonated!) piece called “The ‘Root’ of My Dad” about my dad and the kind of parent he’s inspired me to become.

Do you have a kid who would rather eat worms than wear a coat? If so, “The Runaway Mama’s Guide to Getting Your Kid to Wear a Coat!” is a must read.

I was published on Hyperbolistic.com twice. Forget about the Oscars! I’m winning some epic parenting awards (with some kick-ass graphics). Let’s face it, if you’re a parent, you’re a hypocrite. (It’s okay. It’s in the job description.)

Sammiches and Psych Meds included me in their weekly “Funniest Parents on Facebook” round-up.

What’s the deal with boys and pants?! I’m putting in my two cents over at Sammiches and Psych Meds.

I get a lot of correspondence from the kids’ school. Here’s an essay about the letter from school I never expected.

And finally…

FROM THE VAULT: When dreams were big and escalators were “escavators.” I present “Priceless,” an essay I wrote in March 2012.

Happy Leap Day! Happy reading!
