I’ve heard cow tongue can be a delicacy but I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean on the first date. “Mom?” My freshly bathed son snuggled into my lap as we read through Moo Moo Brown Cow with Jelly Bean before bedtime. “Yes, honey?” I answered, prepared for one of his silly existential questions he likes to pose …
Jelly Bean’s signature “disapproving” face – made even better by the fact that she is wearing her underpants on her head. This is what happens when you keep little kids in the car too long… There was a time when this would have been my ultimate health-nut-on-a-mission dream. Ladies and Gents, meet Nutricate: Why yes …

Memorial Day weekend will find my family and I memorializing our time in Minnesota as we close this chapter of our lives and start the Colorado one. It’s exciting. It’s terrifying. The day I found out (Friday) I spent the entire afternoon laying in my bed weeping and watching a Call the Midwife marathon. (If …
Watermelon is my favorite food. I love it like a love song, baby. Several years ago a doctor friend asked me an interesting question. “What is emotional eating?” I raised an eyebrow and wondered what kind of cyborg has to ask that question. I mean, who hasn’t tasted the sweet, sweet love of a warm …
I had a different post planned for today. It was funny. It involved Hugh Jackman, a crazed fan with an electric razor and a thrown handful of hairs from down under – and I don’t mean the kind from his native Australia. But then Boston happened. And suddenly random attacks did not feel so funny. …
