One of his songs, The Partisan, got me thinking …the […]
These days, every time I sit down in our upstairs hallway after dinner I have the same thought. Is this the last time I’m going to watch A Show? “A Show:” This is what Esme, 9, and Eliza, 7, call what they’ve been periodically performing for us during the small window of time between dinner clean-up and […]
From the Momfilter archives I first discovered Lena Corwin when her unconventional wedding was featured in Martha Stewart Weddings in 2006
A few months ago, nearing the summit of 45 years old, my ovaries were removed to a soundtrack of “Night Fever” and “Beast of Burden.” I had actually said goodbye to them four and a half years earlier, waiting for the ice pack to numb the spot where I’d get a shot that I affectionately […]

We’ve waxed on before about our love for the English grocery chain Waitrose…but on a recent trip, I noticed their priority parking for parents with kids, and fell even more in love with them.
