Eating Gratitude
I’m pretty well versed when it comes to the currently very trendy world of “Gratitude.” And while it’s a theme as old as time it is, indeed, a trend going on now. Which is a good thing. I’m actually really grateful for it. Haha. The current media is swirling with phrases and people like:[[MORE]]

"You Look Like A Lady..."
On Valentine’s day I wore my heart socks which I have worn every Valentine’s day for the past five years. There’s a hole in the big toe now. This is the sort of thing you do as middle age approaches. Wear heart socks on Valentine’s day.

Yesterday though, it was an older Russian Nanny we met. And the conversation went something like this:
Nanny: (about 50,...

Bedtime Story
The other night Roan didn’t want to read one of the many bedtime books in his arsenal. Instead he had asked Steve if he could look at our Wedding Album. “Why are you bringing our wedding album to bed?” I asked Steve, thinking perhaps he wanted to relive our vows or some weird thing.
“Roan asked to look at it.” He said.
“Oh… ok.” I said.
So we all...
