Dear Babygirl, You are nine and a half months old now and my oh my, you are learning so much. It’s astonishing to watch. Every parent says this, of course. The whole “They change every day!” mantra. And I knew it would happen, but I didn’t expect it to be so.darn.cool. to experience. As with […]
Let’s be honest, there is always room for improvement in the balance between the raising babies you and the successful businessperson you. At least, I know there always is for me. That being said, I’ve found several small things that make a huge difference in me feeling okay about the quality time I’m spending with […]

Dear Babygirl, You are 6 weeks and 1 day old today. A couple months ago I wrote you a letter about normal. I wrote about how you would be arriving soon, so soon, and how my very normal days would soon be totally different very normal days. Earlier today we went to the grocery store, […]
