One Year with Theo

It's been one year since we brought Theo home. Zoe and I drove to the shelter to collect him, just the two of us. She had been asking incessantly for a puppy for as long as she could verbalize it. The entire 20 minute ride...

Momma Loves: Ana Schechter

When I was a little girl, I loved my teddy named Bobby and he came everywhere with me. As a pre-teen I cherished my Caboodle and coveted the makeup and nail polish that would fill it. As a teenager I was obsessed my guitar and...

Growing With Them

Jack and Zoe are 19 months apart. Lately I've been thinking a lot about the time we spent together during those first few completely wild, totally amazing years. How I loved having two babies. We did everything together, so many firsts spent learning about life, the...
