I recently told you all about the touching way in which Ryan said his first words, "Hi Dada," the day after Father's Day.As you might imagine, I have made it my mission in life since then to get him to look me square in the eye and say "Hi Mama." I'd even settle for just "Mama." Or "Ma."Well, he does sort of say it. But he doesn't really say it to me. Not exactly. It's more like a call to the universe.  Read more >

Not all dads are great dads.

Mike is a great Dad. I always figured he would be, so this came as no surprise.We'll get back to that.Every day, when I pick Ryan up from daycare, I get a 45-second daily recap. It goes a little something like this: "Ryan had a good day. He only got fussy whenever he was hungry for a bottle. He ate all of his prepared food, but still doesn't care about picking up and eating bread. His last diaper change was at 4:15. His last bottle was at 3:30, so he'll be hungry soon. He had two naps today and one of them was an hour long - YAY!  Read more >

Once upon a time (9 months ago), dinner was a big deal in our home. In fact, our entire day danced around the topic.In the morning, Mike would plant the seed. “Whatcha feel like for dinny?” (Interpretation: What would you like for dinner tonight?) He’d throw out a few options: Stuffed chicken? Homemade mac n’ cheese? Pasta with sausage? Something on the grill? (You can see why I married him. Love that man.)We’d agree to think about it for a few hours.“Creeeammmyyyy pastaaaaaa?” is the tempting text message I might get around noon.  Read more >

A kid is sort of a natural conversation starter.   Read more >

Phase One of my life was growing up in Ohio. Being a kid. Discovering I liked to write. Going to college to try to learn how to do it better.

Phase Two started the day I packed up my mom's car and headed for Arizona. It included two jobs, a whole lot of writing, one husband and one pregnancy.

And then...

Phase Three started early in the morning on Sept. 21, 2010, at the moment my son was born. Now I'm trying to figure out this whole "mom" thing. I thought I would be teaching my son something new every day. Turns out, he's teaching me loads more than he will ever learn from me (poor kid). But as long as we can all keep a sense of humor, I figure we'll be alright.
