Instead of my usual post today, I am hoping you will indulge me in some mundane gratitude by telling me something that’s good in your life right now; something that is making you a combination of glad and happy (“glappy” as Violet says). No matter how big or small, I want to know! From something you ate to the bathing suit that sits right to a beautiful quotation that is inspiring a deep thought. What’s good?
For me, it’s these cupcakes that I made with Violet for her birthday that her Papa iced…still making me glappy.
I’m pregnant again. My anxious constitution loves to take a good thing and turn it into a way to examine all possible worst case scenarios, but the deepest truth is: I am amazed. My body is creating human life. What a time to be alive, literally and metaphorically!

My daughters' wild summer hair.
