In case you missed the memo? I'm a mother.
I post pictures of my kid because he’s beautiful and I love him. But it’s more than that. When I post a picture of my nugget, I am trying to convey the sense of wonder and awe that stops me dead whenever he smiles. I am trying to share the way my heart balloons, the emotion that swells inside of me, the way my breath sighs out of me in a silent “oh!” when I realize how...

Ridiculous things I’ve said today:
“Honey, please don’t lick the floor.”
“Come here so mommy can smell your butt.”

Ken: What do you want from Panera?
Me: Ooh! A chocolate chip muffie!
Ken: Got it.
Me: Wait! I’m not done! If you see that the muffie is touching anything blueberry, or that the little pincer grabby thingies have touched anything blueberry or have blueberry on them, then I want a brownie instead.
