A Letter To Ben’s 2nd Grade Teacher

becky | June 27, 2008

Dear Tonya, Thank you so much for teaching my kid how to read, how to do math that even I didn’t understand and for making him become a good, responsible kid. We will miss you so much next year. I do have a couple questions for you though. When you said in Ben’s end of [...]

The Fax of Life

Like the one thing that makes life bearable and sane: girlfriends! My two great girlfriends, Shelly and Richelle (or the “Sha Sha’s” as my mom likes to call them) [...]

Happily, Some Things Never Change

My friend Emily recently sent me some pictures of Stella and Ben from 2002 – 2003. At first I couldn’t stop looking at these pictures and mourning the baby that was gone. I miss that little guy so much, I thought as my ovaries did a little flip. And then, after another hour of staring [...]

Home Alone

Last Saturday marked a big day in the lives of Becky and Ben. It was the first time I left my boy alone. As his 8th birthday was approaching, I was talking to some other mom friends about when they first left their kids home by themselves. They all agreed that 8 was a fine [...]
