I’m So Glad You’re Here

October 26, 2019 Leave a Comment

The site is up and you arrived. Thrilling! As I type, I’m stuck on the tarmac due to a power outage in New Orleans —it’s 2pm and I’m trying to get to the American Academy of Pediatrics national meeting. Power outage delays, airline fiascos, mechanical trouble – the whole bit. Up since 4am but I’ll […]

What I'm Doing Now – January 2018

January 30, 2018 Leave a Comment

It’s still (barely) January of 2018 and I’m doing my best to try to new things, take breaks from old things, be more strategic, practice tiny habits, and spend time with my sweet boys and family. I’ve even committed to a weekly early morning swim with a dear friend to just ritualize something beautiful for the […]

1 Small Hack For Smarter Smartphone Parenthood

August 30, 2017 2 Comments

It’s the last official week of summertime around here. My babies love school and are eager about the beginning; it’s me nursing an increasingly bigger pit in my stomach as summer wanes and September nears. While my boys grow up I feel like I see more clearly the ways summertime affords juicy glimpses into the […]

I Like The Film Alike, A lot

April 11, 2017 5 Comments

Many of us struggle knowing which pitch or tenor to take in balancing the responsibilities, rigors and rule-following of regular school and work-life with the need to extend boundaries to live with our children in poetic, artful ways. How and when to comply, and how and when and why we sometimes don’t want to. It’s ultimately tricky and nuanced, […]

That Could Have Been Me: When An 8 Year-Old Knows She Belongs

December 5, 2016 Leave a Comment

During carpool recently I witnessed an 8-year-old realize her relevance and her sense of belonging even more than before. What a total profundity. It happened by accident and this involves J.K. Rowling… It’s my belief that getting a child to understand their import is a hope housed in almost every parent, teacher, auntie, or grandfather. When […]

5 Ways To Fight Loneliness

November 27, 2016 3 Comments

It seems to me that some of the greatest suffering in life comes with loss. Loss has all sorts of shapes and various hues of intensity. Comparing one loss to another in unlikely to ever do anyone any good. What feels big to someone you love IS big. For you, for your children, for your […]

Self-care And Parenting, Sleep And Loneliness

May 27, 2016 7 Comments

My passion in work and the focus of my career is centered around improving the health and well-being of children. It always will be. I can get SO wrapped up in the opportunities to leverage every tool I’ve got to clarify, learn, relieve suffering, and contribute to pediatric health. I feel lucky to have the tools I […]

Moms, Benefit of Part-time Work, And Breastfeeding

May 16, 2016 4 Comments

A new study out confirms something that almost every working mom and dad already suspected — it can be a challenge to maintain breastfeeding goals when you return to work after only a few months with your newborn, especially when asked to return to working full time. The study out this week found that moms who worked […]
