Christina Katz linked to a youtube mom-song and it reminded me of this great song from Cathy & Marcy: Orange Cocoa Cake. (You’ll have to scroll down to find it!) Seriously — if you’re a parent and have ever tried to have a conversation on the phone with the kids around, you’ll relate!!! And if you don’t have kids and have tried to talk to a friend with kids, you’ll relate, too. (Especially the line towards the end!)
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

Oh my goodness, we her tape when we were little. We used to rewind this song over and over. I think I could still recite all the words. Thanks for the memory!

Ha-ha. Very funny. Actually, it kinda makes me nostalgic for time to spend collecting recipes. I have a couple of recipe book ideas I’d like to make time for too.
Thanks for sharing the awesome song, Dawn. Happy holidays!
