We have three sons and the internet is scary to me. I know what I would have been “Googling” and doing when I was a teenager if the internet existed then. Here is my first funny “wake-up moment” with our boys. I was in the kitchen cooking and I hear horror movie screaming coming from the family room. I […]
Dumb Ways To Die BlogHer ’13 Style
Picture this. You are alone in a hotel room for a conference. You get up in the morning and take a shower and as you step out the bath rug slides across the marble and you catch yourself but realize had you not, you would have landed on the back of your head across the […]

The little prince gave my boys a happy bubble on their timeline history.
I woke up this morning to news that the “royal baby” was on it’s way while looking at the news on my cell phone. Eyes rolled. Scrolled down to find real news. I saw a woman in Dubai was given a prison term for being raped. Brushed my teeth I went on Facebook to see […]

The Kiss
The Kiss I don’t have memories of ever being at a traditional American wedding as a child. No memories of being at a wedding steeped in family rituals and tiered white wedding cakes. I remember being very small and being a flower girl in a Serbian Orthodox wedding for an aunt. The priest didn’t speak […]
Pressure. Washing.
Sometimes I long to be part of our mother’s generation. Where being chubby was ok, after you had a gaggle of kids, and driveways were just expected to be dirty. So much pressure, washing. Abbie Gale allthatmakesyou.com

I Cried Like a Boss, After Crawling Out of Sight
You know when you get hurt and you want to drop to the floor and roll around in pain and whimper or even cry? You can’t though, because there are people around. People you didn’t make babies with, or they didn’t make you or you didn’t make them. It is a very small pool of […]

Timeline of our Children Marked by Monsters
Sincerely heartbroken that the timeline of our children’s childhoods is marked forever by the actions of monsters. As I read the first breaking news I hoped it was not a bomb and was saddened by the fact that it probably was. Tragedies that marked my childhood, it seems, were indeed tragedies and not horrific acts […]
