GET THOSE TWINS OUT OF MY BELLY
One year ago RIGHT NOW, this was me. Dear gods. New Year’s Eve day was my last doc appointment before going into scheduled induced delivery on January 7th. It didn’t go exactly as planned, but what does right? We got our perfectly healthy babies out and here we are one year later. I simply cannot... Read more »
Your Death Montage - What is Your Greatness?
It’s the New Year, so of course the Death Montages have begun, where we visit the lives of those who’ve passed in the last year as we celebrate their contributions to our world. What would yours say?

A Seat at the Bar, with Augusten Burroughs
Excuse me. Yes, I’m terribly sorry to interrupt you and your sparkling water drinking at this bar that I know you loathe because, well, we don’t imbibe anymore and this kind of thing is a big fat bore, but I need you to know a few things so you’ll just have to indulge me. It’s ok,... Read more »

But Does Santa Believe in You?
After receiving an email last night from a reader who was getting flack on her page for posting pictures of her Elf on the Shelf – she expressed how for her kids, belief in magical occurrences was wondrous and she couldn’t understand why people would knock that on her page and hadn’t I written about belief before...

All I Want for Christmas is to Stop Crying All the Damn Time
It’s been a wild ride, this past year. As I think back to a year ago when I was filled to the brim with babies, not yet knowing who they were or what they would look like or HOW THE HELL WERE THEY GOING TO GET OUT OF THERE ANYWAY? I was at my wit’s end with discomfort... Read more »
