I am a wife, mother, and attorney, but not always in that order. I am also phenomenally indecisive, except when it comes to my husband, the Mister, and our boys--they are an easy commitment to make, and I write about them often. I devote the rest of

Favorite Moment | A Tree Grows in California
I spent the weekend taking walks, reading, swinging on swings, and eating lunch under the big tree. Gorgeous. There to join me in all these activities was a Mister, a four year old, and this fellow with ketchup and crumbs on his face. Gorgeous tim...
Favorite Moment | This is the Truth
I am never on YouTube and usually delete chain emails before reading them, so it is very possible that I am the last person on Earth to see this two year old video. I am consoled by the fact the Mister, who showed me this video, said he had never se...
Favorite Moment | Santa Monica
Have you missed my favorite moments? I have, even though sometimes they can be a royal pain to write. Of course, that was the whole point of the project: to focus on the good in each week gone past, because even the worst weeks have something sp...
Favorite Moment | The Birth of Baby Hippo Love
My 13 weeks of Weight Watchers passes arrived two weeks ago, and I quickly stuffed them in our green secretary until things around here calmed down. Last night it occurred to me as I looked at this week’s schedule (Valentine’s, the Mist...
Favorite Moment | All of it.
I think we all wish we could erase some dark times in our lives. But all of life’s experiences, bad and good, make you who you are. Erasing any of life’s experiences would be a great mistake. –Luis Miguel In one week we have lost...
Favorite Moment | Half of My Life
Toni and I first met at Judi’s wedding shower. Judi and I were in our early 20s, and we met through work. Toni was Judi’s future sister-in-law, married to the brother of Judi’s fiance. Toni, like me, always struggled with her ...
Favorite Moment | The Gift Horse
Yesterday evening my sister in law came over to help me organize my china cabinets. Plural. My parents are big on Lladrós, and have given us one for every momentous occasion in our adult lives: marriage, law school graduation, boy number 1, boy nu...
Favorite Moment | Mailing Christmas Cards
I couldn’t figure out what I didn’t like about my Christmas cards right away. I was more concerned with Mikey, who all this week had been suffering, along with his brother, from what he likes to call, “Chaos in my underwear.”...
Favorite Moment | Books
I had a terrible week and the boys were trying my patience, so when I called the Mister yesterday and asked if he would like to meet us somewhere for lunch, he quickly agreed. Secretly, I think he was worried I would dust the boys' lunch with crushe...
Favorite Moment | Hell in a Knitting Basket
Oh, dear. What a week. I have been quiet for many reasons, not the least of which was the implosion of my internet service on Monday. We were able to get things partially squared away by Wednesday, but we are still unable to get the Mister's PC co...
Favorite Moment | Hope and Change
Those of you who have written Favorite Moments know they are often simple and ordinary. Consequently, these moments are often difficult to encapsulate with mere subjects and predicates--or even my beloved adverbs--because while the moment is mundan...
Favorite Moment | The Mister
I never intended to be a stay at home mom. I went to one of the top ten colleges in the country. I had a master's degree in health care administration and ten years real world experience before I entered law school. My career path, while circuitous, ...
