My child, having just finished a bowl of ice cream: “more?”
Me: “not tonight love, more tomorrow”
Her “I want ice cream cone”
Me “no more ice cream. Do you want a cup of milk? A banana?”
“popsicle?”
“no.”
“No fair! . . . I want my sparkle shoes!”
No more ice cream? At least I can look fabulous!

Throw back to maternity leave march 2023, feeling like both 1000 years ago and yesterday

I don’t take many pictures of my dogs anymore because they are very old and gray and spend 90% of the day asleep, but they are still cute.

Well now that I’ve finished The Penguin I need to find another meaningful pursuit in life

Business in front, party in the back, croissant in hand - who could ask for anything more?
