Winning Just Dance team | C.Mom

We all have them. Big moments. Milestones. Things that go down in family history as all time favorite moments. Moments that symbolize huge life cycle events or major transitions. The truth though, is that life is made up of a zillion tiny little moments. Moments that can be overlooked before you can even blink. Moments [...]

making challah on Yom kippu | C.Mom

Yom Kippur is a day of fasting. A day of reflecting. A day of atoning. In our house apparently, after going to services, it is also now a day of baking. Rocket wanted to try a new recipe for challah, so the chief baker and his handy dandy assistant (aka Principessa) got to work. What [...]

Adventures in Scotch Tape

Adventures in Scotch Tape | C.Mom

Principessa has a fascination with scotch tape. Seriously. The child uses more tape than anyone I know. She has used more scotch tape in the last six weeks than I have in the last five years. I really should probably go buy stock in the company at the rate she is going. Over the last [...]

I Have a Quirky Daughter

September 20, 2011
My Daughter is Quirky | C.Mom

I have a quirky daughter. There I said it. She is lovely and charming and has a contagious giggle, but is….quirky. She does some of the regular almost seven year old things. She plays soccer, whines for any reason whatsoever, wants to do her homework HER way, and complains about piano practice. But then, the [...]

Wordful Wednesday: Making a Boat

September 7, 2011
Make a Boat

For better or for worse, Principessa has grown up around boats.  She took her first ride at about five months, all wrapped up in her Michelin Man style life jacket and hat that never stayed on.  Her dad had a boat, her Nonno had a boat….in fact she has even helped them shop for new [...]

Crossing the Finish Line

August 30, 2011
Crossing the Finish line at the Iron Girl Columbia

Finishing my Iron Girl Triathlon seems like a distant memory.  I swam, I biked, and I ran….  I smiled, I pushed, and in the end….I giggled. Because my dear, sweet, amazing daughter Principessa crossed the finish line with me. As we joined hands, there were oohs and aahs as my sparkle skirt shimmered in the [...]

Finishing the Iron Girl With my Daughter

It is only Wednesday I know. But somehow even in a few short days, my week has felt forever long….and has been filled to the brim with…moments. Special moments, funny moments, clever parent moments, awkward moments, and things that make you go “hmmmm.”   What about you? How has your week gone so far? xo [...]

Looking for Inspiration

August 16, 2011
I Believe by Audrey Hepburn

I admit it. I am running on fumes lately. I have a triathlon in four days, I have surgery on my elbow next week, and I go back to teaching in two weeks.  Oh…and I now have two blogs.  Which I adore. Which I would not know what to do without.  But….amidst the passion, amidst [...]

BlogHer Reflections

August 9, 2011
San Diego

Yes, I spent several days in San Diego last week for BlogHer.  Yes, I was surrounded by thousands of women and a few men for what can only be described as an overwhelming and exhausting.  And yes, I am going to do a recap because how can I not reflect just a bit?  It is [...]

There Are Days

August 3, 2011
Wordful Wednesday at C.Mom

There are days, and there are DAYS. Days when everything is exciting and shiny and new. And days where you feel like a used model that needs to be traded in, immediately. There are days when everything goes your way, and then are days when it does not. I had a day. A big day. [...]
