Motherhood Defined

May 11, 2012

Some people say they have my eyes. My mother tells me that he has my temperament. I’d like to think she has my fashion sense. Its hard to say who they are and even harder to understand where they came from. Almost four years ago I became a mother. Yeah, I received my first Mother’s Day gift while my first […]

A Runner’s Two Cents by Rachel

April 18, 2012

In 2006, Heli invited me to join her on a little race in my neighborhood (the Bucktown 5k.) A 5k is 3.1 miles. As a self defined couch potato, this seemed like a feat akin to climbing Mt. Everest.

Take me out to the ball game…

July 27, 2011

Some children are born with an attention span for books, puzzles, characters, etc. My son, however, has a love…maybe love isn’t the right word, passion for baseball. Yes, he likes to play baseball. Yes, he likes to watch baseball. Yes, he likes to know the baseball players. It’s never-ending. The other day we went to this outing with the park […]

My Hero!!

October 6, 2010

When Adam and I first met we were kids. Eleven years ago our ideals and plans were very different than they are today. At first I was embarrassed to be dating a guy who hadn’t gone to college; after all, I was college bound and planned on dating a guy with alpha beta whatever attached to his name rather than […]
