This is where I share stories about my kid, think out loud, and sometimes froth over a great recipe I've found. I try not to dispense advice, but sometimes I solicit it.
I love quiet things (writing, reading a good book, art museums, silent hikes in the outdoors, my family) and loud things (bawdy jokes and laughter, heartfelt conversations, loud music, a good argument, my in-laws).
I've been lucky enough to have a good career, to have traveled and lived in different parts of the country. But no experience in my adult life has been as wonderful or awe-inspiring as becoming a mother. I apologize if that makes me annoying or cliche, but that kid is my heart, and I write about him a lot here.
I love comments.
I hate grasshoppers. Please don't bring them up. EVER.
When I started this blog, I thought the following was a nice pithy summation of my philosophy of life: "Be kind. Eat good food."
I think its still quite apt.
