The universal skillet.
Last week I had a massage. If anything equated with the pains of labor with my second child, it was this massage. I employed every breathing technique, every visualization, every relaxation method I could think of just to get through … Continue reading
The art of whispering.
On Saturday, my almost-five-year-old tried to be quiet. And sneaky. And a secret keeper. He sat at the kitchen table, spooning up his honey-sweetened yogurt and cereal combo, and I could see his little wheels working. His thoughts are like … Continue reading
