My best friend had her very precious little girl this week.
Aubrie Kendall is her sweet little name. She was 7 lbs, 7 ounces and 20 inches long.
I went to meet her the day after she was born and oh my was she ever a little peanut. I mean, I know babies are little but I [...]

Dads and Daughters
The thing about dads and daughters is they don’t always agree.
The long and the short of it is this: My dad married a woman just a handful of years older than me about a year ago and I obviously do not have an easy time with that. In fact, I’ve never breached the subject here. [...]

I hear her in my voice and see her when I look in the mirror.
She’s the first person who ever loved me, who ever yelled at me, who ever thought I was beautiful. She’s my biggest cheerleader, critic and one of my very best friends. She’s kind, sweet, sensitive and supportive.

No matter the outcome of this, I need to thank all of you. It’s amazing how the Internet becomes your own little cheer leading squad in times [...]

Jeff’s mom spoils me rotten. And she did it again for my birthday.
With a new Coach purse. (She promises she got a rock star deal so that makes me feel a little less guilty about her getting me another beautiful bag.)
She knew when she walked in on Saturday that she was going to be “in [...]

26
Our parents got along swimmingly, which was probably the most perfect way to bring in 26. I am truly blessed to have so many that love me.

On Jack
I know people are trying to be friendly and all, but give me a break.
Around our condo building no one knows our name. We’re simply Jack’s Mama and Jack’s Daddy. Even when people talk to us to our face. That though, I don’t really mind.
You know that theory about how it takes a village to [...]

The verdict
My BFF Tina is having…
A GIRL!!!!
And I am beyond excited. Let the shopping begin, right? I’m excited for all the girly colors, and lip gloss (think she can wear that straight out of the womb?) and cute clips in her hair. Hopefully she has strawberry blonde curls just like her Mama.
For the past couple of [...]
