I love the concrete jungle.Back in June, when we moved from the foresty, farmy suburbs of Boston to the anti-christ of New York City, I felt this incredible sense of freedom.  I was no longer tethered to my car.  I could get a really good, freshly baked bagel 24/7.  And, I could buy beer on Sundays.Embrace the freedom, people.  Read more >

Kamihttp://www.workingmomfence.comAbout six years ago, my husband and I flew down to Miami with our four month old baby. We needed a break from that blizzardy New York City winter. We were sleep deprived and cranky, yet totally consumed with the newest member of our family.And I was consumed with something else. Something vain. I was consumed with my weight. I was fat.  Read more >

journey to motherhood - c-section

I had a birth plan. I had an iPod playlist, a hospital bag and a birth plan. Three days after his due date, he stopped moving inside me. They discovered my amniotic fluid level was low. Then they discovered he was presenting face first. I had a birth plan. I got a c-section. Involving a crazy amount of blood-loss and an extended, very painful recovery period. And...a perfect little boy.  Read more >

Kamihttp://www.workingmomfence.comI’m watching my sons become readers and it is glorious. As a reader myself, I am thrilled to see that books and words exert a magnetic pull on them as well. It’s pretty fucking magical. But not unexpected.See, we’ve been reading to our kids since … well, since day one. Literally. We had a book shower instead of a baby shower. We built them a library of engaging, age appropriate fiction and nonfiction. Books are quilted into our routine. It is never if. It’s when.  Read more >

About Me: 

In my previous life, I was a professional modern dancer. I also graduated Cum Laude from Barnard College with a double major in dance and American History in '98. Now, I'm a wife, a mom, and an educator. When I'm not with my man, my babes or at work, I am sporadically writing a novel about a young, single, recent college grad living in New York City and her journey toward discovering what she wants to be when she grows up. Oh, and in my free time, I blog.  In 2009, I launched my blog, The Fence about the issues I face as a working mom.  You can find it at www.workingmomfence.com.
