Dear Darling Daughter, Last week, we attended the Wild, Wild World: Wolves presentation at the American Museum of Natural History. At the end of the presentation, there was a question and answer session. Your hand immediately shot up and enthusiastically, I might add. Even though the presenter kept calling on people from the other side […]
Therapy Thursday – Are my Hot Thoughts Killing Me ???
After my momentary “state” last week, my therapist gave me a cognitive exercise to add to my tool kit. The “Thought Record” is meant to help me focus on reducing my anxiety when I have these panicked and anxious episodes and hopefully keep me grounded. My assignment was to complete the worksheet when I feel “panicked.” On […]
Wordless Wednesday -Our Favorite Museum
How can you resist that smile? No matter how wacky life gets, there is nothing more heart warming that your child’s smile. Of course, she is just itching to run around the floor and that is why she is grinning.

That’s right, I am on the back of a Honey Nut Cheerios cereal box. Mind you, you need a magnifying glass to see me but no matter, I am still on a cereal box and it is for a good cause. That’s me in the lower left hand corner. And how did I make onto […]
Dear Daughter – Future Doctor or Humanitarian
Thanks to my friend Nikki at blasianbabynotes for turning me onto Dear Kid Saturday and thanks to Christina at the cutestkidever.org for starting this trend.

Therapy Thursday – Nanny 911 Stay in England Your Services are Not Needed
When I started therapy, the first thing my “mom” mentioned “you need to ask the therapist when she will be involving my daughter in the sessions.” At our first session, I asked Dr R. and she said “we will see, let’s just address why you are here and go from there. “ Recently, my mom […]
Wordless Wednesday – Waiting for the Bus with Miranda
Waiting for the bus. I love the juxtoposition of her baby doll Miranda and the her Hawaiian bag, a gift from her god mother R. And what’s in the bag, Miranda’s bottle and baby powder. What is the deal with little girls and diapering???
Therapy Thursday – Disappointment and Stress
I can only thank my lucky stars that my plans to hit Costco/Target plans fell through because this was a week I really needed to have a therapist to discuss my latest travails. So what happened? First, a job I really wanted fell through. Although it was a freelance position, I thought it was a […]
Wordless Wednesday – Hanging Out at Ikea
We made a trip to Ikea this past weekend. I love Ikea, obviously, number one reason is the cost but we can’t fail to mention variety of products offered, food (yum), and customer service (that does not include returns which they need to work on, 45 minute wait time is crazy.) At some point, I […]
