Post-op update:

My second drain was removed today, so now both are out which feels very freeing. I'm still tiring easily, so taking it easy. There is a small complication, but my doctor will check back in on me next week.

I hope to get back to some serious writing at some point next week!

Who cares how many books you read this year!

Did you read? Yes.
Did it bring you joy? Yes.

You’ve met the only goal that matters.

READING ALOUD CHANGES CHILDREN'S LIVES FOREVER! Just 10 minutes a day can be enough to help them find the love of books, and become lifelong readers. So whatever else you do, always find the time to read aloud – and the more you do, the better! #literacy #reading #books

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

Some of you may know that I had a mastectomy yesterday, as I carry a pathogenic variant of BRCA2.

I am pleased to share that everything has gone incredibly well. I did get to sleep a little, and now I'm up and moving around on my own. I'm tired and sore, but I'm going home today. 🩷🩵💪🏼

When you're a parent, your Spotify Wrapped tends to reflect not only your tastes, but your kids'.

It's comical, but I also think it's a very precious thing 🥹

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.
