Mind on my Momming and my Momming on my Mind
I was watching Hamilton last night when the song “The World Turned Upside Down” came on. The title moved me because that phrase sums up the last ten months in America neatly. Scratch that; the past four years. I feel as if we’ve been living in a complicated, emotionally draining, kind of scary dream. It’s …
Dear Bananas, I am writing this from my bed, having checked on you three times already and using this message as an excuse to avoid a fourth. You’re beautiful when you’re sleeping, by the way. Always; but in those peaceful moments when your body is at rest, you’re angelic. I am amazed we made you and …

I had known a lot about the accusations surrounding Robert for some time but I learned so much more from watching. It’s currently available on the Lifetime App for free so download it …
Savannah did a “big puzzle” (12 pieces) by herself for the first time today. I suspect she could have done this months ago but she likes to do them with me so I’ve still been helping and it didn’t dawn on me until this morning to ask her to do it alone. She seemed a …
It has been a busy, at times hectic, Holiday Season.
