Cherished
As before, I’ve taken the opportunity to “hack” my wife’s site and share with you my admiration and appreciation for the amazing woman that is even more cherished on this special day. Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful and incredible wife. I always knew that Nichole would be an extraordinary mother. I knew that…
Always
Sweet Matthew, Today was a tough day for mommy. I had to make a decision that impacts you and it hurts my heart. Mommy and Daddy are trying to make a baby brother or sister for you. But, we’re not having any luck. Mommy still nurses you in the morning and at night and…
Your joys so much greater…
This week’s Small Moments Mondays guest poster is…me! I wrote this letter to Katie last Monday and since today is my birthday, I’ve decided to share it with you here! Thank you so much for reading… Dear Katie, When Daddy left for work this morning, he asked you to go easy on me today. Mondays…
One More
There are times when I am so fearful that the baby that we want so desperately won’t come. I look at Katie and Matthew and my heart aches for just one more child. One more child to be a part of what we have built. One more child to have all that neither Craig nor…
For berries…
I have a surprise for you, Chole. My Aunt Judy, my godmother, always had a surprise for me. Always a lovely little indulgence. Let’s go out into the garden. I reached for my shoes and noticed that she had left hers behind. Look over there, past the hydrangeas… The grass was silky and sleek beneath my…
Happiness is a choice…
A few words before you read…this post assumes that you know about my father’s death. If you are new to my story, you can read about it here, here, and here. Also, I have exceeded my word count with this story and it is truly sentimental. But it is mine and to cut words would be to cut…
We floated
One, two…fourteen…twenty…thirty-seven stars. We floated there, on our backs, quietly counting them. Night after night before our wedding, hopping over the low fence in front of our room to float on our backs in the Caribbean Sea. Craig’s fingers so close to mine, touching, yet not grasping. Dark, but for a few twinkling lights in…
Easy to Fishy Fishy? Or why I love Vonage Visual Voicemail
There is little that I enjoy less than talking on the telephone. I much prefer to text, email, DM, or tweet. The sound of the phone ringing grates on my last nerve. But, if there’s anything that I dislike more than talking on the phone, it’s dialing in to check voicemail. Until a few months…
My One…and Only
This week, on Small Moments Mondays, I am thrilled to feature my amazing husband, Craig, as my guest poster. When I first dreamed up the concept of this series, not only did Craig serve as my sounding board, but he was also at the top of my guest poster wish list. I am honored that…
And all that it implied
As a child, there was a window of time when it was just my mother and me, a time when I was certain that I was the most important person in the world. My father had died four years prior and my mother and I were alone. Hand in hand, we faced all that that…
Each and every day, I strive to appreciate the wonder, beauty, and whimsy in the small moments, the moments that, when strung together, form a lifetime.
