Motherhood is not for the faint-hearted. Frogs, skinned knees, and the insults of teenage girls are not meant for the wimpy.

I'm a terribly irresponsible eater - I love soft-boiled eggs and chocolate. I never met a chocolate I could not eat.

If it's meant to be, they'll find a way to make it work eventually.

I'm not an aging gracefully type. But I do believe in aging with grace.

Like a small animal burrowing into its hole, I shift furniture around, and back myself into a cozy corner, with my back to the wall...and then I can write.

I believe in love at first sight for houses - but not for people.

Some things in life are worth waiting for.
