A friend’s mother sent me a beautiful email about The Sisterhood of Travelling Butterflies. She knew amm on many levels: as a fellow parent, a dance mom, a colleague and a Beta Sister. And she felt that the email was so much about amm. And I needed to share my favourite butterfly from the email. [...]

Ina May…A Strong Woman
Posted in amm Today on February 21, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Ina May is a strong woman. I wish amm could have read her book – the book that was a major part of Arrine’s birthing story – so we could have poured a glass of wine and talked about Ina May and shared our thoughts on her and midwifery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpI6xcylLVU&feature=player_embedded
She Looked So Beautiful Until The End

I had the chance to visit with one of amm’s old, dear friends. And she shared a few amm memories and they made me cry… My two favourite were: 1. “You know the last words your mother said to me? ‘My children. My precious children.’ “ 2. “Your mother looked so beautiful until the end.”

I have a wall of photos in our hallway. And Arrine likes to look at the pictures and name the people she knows. And if she doesn’t know their name then she simply asks, “Name? Name?” But there is one picture that she just doesn’t understand. “Mommy!” she will point and exclaim. And I will [...]

Look of Love

I have been patiently waiting to see the sign of Arrine loving me. Really loving me. As in she herself is recognizing loving me. I tell her over and over again that I love her, but she has yet to say it back to me. I know she will one day. And I know that [...]

I am protective of my amm pj blanket – the quilt that amm’s dear friend made for me out of amm’s pajamas. The blanket has a permanent spot on my bed. It is never is lent out. It’s mine. But today Arrine is in need of the love within my quilt. The poor girl has [...]
Keeping Up With the K

For this particular post, you all need to get past the fact that I watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Kim & Kourtney Take New York. I like to think that these shows are evened out with intellectual shows that I also watch, like Law & Order and SNL, right? And the odd DocZone. [...]
