This year we celebrated Holi with our Jackson Heights community! My husband has many happy memories from celebrating in Kolkata with his family. Joining other families and throwing pigment was especially meaningful as we shared this holiday with our children.

I believe every child deserves to feel safe and valued at school. When policies threaten this fundamental right, we must speak up. That's why I wrote to the principal at my child's school. Our children deserve the truth, protection, and respect.

So.. I just realized that I've never seen the second half of Balanchine's The Nutcracker after the sugar plum fairy.
Watching it with my toddler was an exercise in deepening frowns. Coffee and Tea were not what I expected at all.

I'm inviting an amazing friend to Thanksgiving. She asked what time would be good and I said "drop in wherever, I'm going to resume cooking after the Macy's parade." I also realized that I never had a concrete time for Thanksgiving dinner starting. I straight up started to to panic.

Today our strategic raisin reserves were devastated when the toddler rained them upon the kindergartener. It was an act of retaliation for stealing the green bouncy ball. Clean up efforts were hampered by secondary stealth water bottle attacks.

Latest dispatch in pocket-based injustices. My spouse's new underwear was a pocket. Like a real pocket. I have so many pants, skirts and dresses that don't have pockets or fake pockets.
Why.
