    Just a sneak peek of some photos we got done when Ilaria was a week old. More to come because it's a pandemic (we need the feel good content, OK?!) and I'm a proud mom.

    I’ve been rightly informed that Book It still exists but Pizza Hut has less market share so we’ve got our work cut out. Call the prize a “book fanum tax” or whatever we gotta do. Don’t leave out the middle and high schoolers! Free dinner for the family in a post-inflation world!

    I can’t comprehend galaxies & I can’t comprehend the tender veil that existed between God & my daughters’ first cries. And I can’t comprehend the reality that a parent who knows the Holy gift of soft skin & the smell of their hair are now parted with it, violently. Preventably.

    I’m now at the point of toddlerhood where I’m apologizing to my toddler 3x a day for not being able to emotionally regulate my anger and frustration, a thing I’m asking her to master Parenting is one colossal serving of humble pie

    I don’t have words to convey to you how special the @ArianaGrande concert was tonite. But I do have some vids that will convey the magic that took place after Ari’s concert. I’ll tell the tale in 3 scenes. First, I lost Michael and then found him drowning in a sea of Arianators.

    But then something changed. I saw his will break, and he had decided to give into his baser instincts. I knew then that nothing would ever be the same

    President Jimmy Carter basically wrote a book on "quiet service" in his post-presidency without actually writing it. His posture, attitude, and actions are a model for anyone. "Well done, good and faithful servant." Praying for a painless passing into Jesus' waiting arms.
