To my dear, sweet baby,
I have so very much I want to say to you in this moment. This crazy, unprecedented, historical moment that feels more like something out of a dystopian novel than real life.
Since most of Mommy...
I've been working from home since November 2013, so I like to think I know a little bit about it. I know a lot of people work from home, it's not that unique, but I work for a fairly...

I won't multitask at my kid's extracurriculars. As tempting as it is to mindlessly scroll through social media. Or bring a book. Or that stack of papers I have to grade. I will do my best to remain focused...
Dear Nursery Teacher,
The other day I asked my two-year-old, “Who loves you?” to which she responded, “Mommy!” and then “Daddy!” I then asked her, “Who else?” expecting to hear her say any of her cousins or grandparents.
