On the couch
Thursday, April 14th, 2011
When one of my favorite women, Gigi from Kludgy Mom, asked me to guest post for her, we talked about an idea or two. But when I sat down to write, something entirely different came out.
I wrote about a small, sacred moment with my daughter. The kind where you’re thankful for the age your child is now – because you know the future is only a blink or two away.
This post means a lot to me. I hope you will visit me over at Gigi’s place and tell me about your small moment with your own child.
And Friday I will be back here, bringing you some fiction with The Red Dress Club.

Mommypants Moment – A soft place to land
Monday, January 10th, 2011
Today’s Mommypants Moment is brought to you by Gigi of Kludgy Mom. Have you ever met someone and keep saying “ME TOO!” after everything she says? Yeah. That’s Gigi and me. We call each other “twin” and when we met in person a few months ago it just reaffirmed how alike we are. So I am thrilled to feature her today, and if you haven’t stopped by her blog, you are missing her kick-ass content that never fails to make me laugh, sigh, and most important, think.
I put on my mommypants a little bit late.
And I don’t mean late as in I was 35 when I had my first child…even though I was what they call a ‘borderline geriatric pregnancy.” So maybe this post should be called my Depends Moment. But I digress. (more…)

A small thing
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010
The rain falls, puddling on the patio, running in rivers down the street, into the drain, and onward to the ocean.
Kids are on winter vacation. They are cooped up; the rain started on Friday and hasn’t let up.
They amuse themselves with the TV, the Wii, the DS, the Bey Blades battle arena, My Little Pony, trying to keep their baby brother out of their stuff. (more…)
