From Kirkwood Inn
Conversation between ZZ and Me…
“Can we buy a Girl Day Tree?” - ZZ
“What?” - Me
“A Girl Day Tree, for us.” - ZZ
“Why, sure, but what would we do with it?” - Me
“A GIRL DAY TREE” ZZ screams with a giggle, her speech impediment very pronounced.
“I understand, where would we put it?” - Me
“In the backyard, it would be a memory for GIRL DAY.” - ZZ
Read the rest ‘cuz it’s worth it.
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.
