Rest in Peace, Grandma
Last week, the world lost one of feistiest women I know — my grandma on my dad’s side. There were a few things she really liked: Coca-Cola, candy, crossword puzzles, Jeopardy, and listening to her Bose radio.

Choosing Happiness When Parenting
Me, on a conference call, without make-up, holding baby and smiling because the toddler just had to sit on my lap so we could play “picture.” It’s a crazy day. It’s 2 p.m. and I haven’t showered. There is spit up and finger paint on my shirt. The kids aren’t dressed and none of us […]
