• Pain By Any Other Name Still Hurts

  I’m not comfortable with pain. Hurts of any kind are a reality we experience from the time we’re born. Unavoidable and inevitable. Nobody does pain quite as genuinely as children.

• Do You Know When You’re Being Cuddled?

  Newborns have a very basic job description. Intake and output. Sleep in between. Sloane, at nine weeks, has developed an expertise in the first two areas. They are connected, top to bottom.

• If The Shoe Fits…

  I’m not a big shoe person. I don’t do accessories. No fetish. No closets given over to footwear. Or racks of scarves. I go for sheer comfort. And practicality. Soccer flops and tennis shoes most of the time. Which can embarrass my fashionista daughters. Where they have style, I look like I just rolled off…
