LOVE IS....

Stephenie Meyer will be the next post I promise.  If Kyla doesn't get off her butt and email me the photos, I will do some creative re-inactments.

But, in the meantime.  I received one of those emails about the things kids say.  I am the person that stops the madness and doesn't forward them on....(yes, you are welcome).

Anyway, one jumped out as me as the most succinct definition of love.  I hope you like it.  And, I hope it's what you have in all your relationships.  

"When Someone Loves You, The Way They Say Your Name Is Different. You Know It's Just Safe In Their Mouth."  Billy Age 4

Thank you CM for keeping my name (and the rest of me) safe.

Probably the sweetest thing I've ever read. Precious...it even tops what our toddler said to her father this morning..."Daddy, you are beautiful." He's gonna float on that one all day long, of course.

Leaving behind the beauty that is childhood and moving on to my impatient rage...please tell Kyla I'm going to hunt her down like a dog in the night. Or like Jacob hunting down a vampire. FOR REAL! I am beyond ready to read about this grand event.

Do I need to call Kyla?? Maybe pay her a little visit?

This definition of love is beautiful. Billy is, apparently, a very insightful 4 year old.

Kyla? There is a mob forming. Send the pics right away and end this madness.

After seething over your first sentence, I didn't think you'd say anything I could hear right now.

Now I'm all choked up and trying not to cry. That is the best way to describe how it feels when your love says your name.

Wow!!!!!!

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...
