The chocolates have been eaten, the flowers are wilting, and all the mothers around the world are back to cooking suppers and cleaning up messes, don’t forget the never-ending messes. Yes, throw me into that lot as well as it has been a doozy of a day with… Read more

She just turned 26 months old. I know I’m not supposed to do that anymore, you know, count her months. But I’m just going to make my own rules up as I go. Time is too precious to just cast it aside and not see every moment for the treasure that it is. Guess what… Read more

Emma Kate Darling, Happy, Happy 2nd Birthday to you!!! Oh I hope you know how much you are loved. But I’m sure you don’t. Of all the thousands upon thousands of words I have to use, there aren’t enough to convey it. And not to boast or anything, (well maybe just a little), but you… Read more

My dearest, sweet, little Emma Kate, You are 10 months old baby. It is nothing short of mind-boggling. 10 months!! Part of me aches to watch you grow so fast. Some days I long for that newborn who slept and cooed and watched the world behind those beautiful eyes. But then the other part of… Read more

There’s this movie that probably came out in the 90’s or something called Donnie Brasco. I watched it once, a long time ago, and it was a decent movie. Decent, if you like filth, and violence, and mafia crime. Sex, and cussing, murder and mayhem. Which, hey, Iain’tgonnalie, I do. Sometimes I even like… Read more

Of one thing I’m certain: each day that I’m given is more proof of how little I know. We’ve all been there, a time in our life when we thought we knew it all. When we stuck our chest out and announced, if only to ourselves, “I got this.” For me that was 7 months… Read more
