  • They’re Taller Than Me (Officially)

    They’re taller than me. Or should I say—they’re all taller than I am? However you want to phrase it, half the people in our family are male, and they’ve all officially surpassed me in height! [...]

    In a recent blog post, I wrote, "If you see a steady flow of current updates alongside old photos and flashbacks from the kids' childhood, you’ll know that I am processing." So it begins. This [...]

    I've been very vocal about my college search obsession for Z. Some people hire a professional university admissions consultant to guide them through the ins and outs of the process. Me? I’ve unofficially made it [...]
