She Loves Me Like A Rock
2008-06-02 05:22:00 It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet some brilliant mothers; to celebrate, learn from and be inspired by our differences, while drawing strength and support from the common ground we share. This month’s This Is Motherhood feature columnist isn’t just any mother; she is my mother. She took me completely by surprise when she submitted her piece. It hadn’t occurred to me to invite her to participate. But I’m glad she did. I think she wrote something incredible. I’ve read it over and over and still find myself choking back tears. Maybe it’s because I’m her daughter and I understand the meaning of the words she chose. Or maybe it’s because I’m now a mother that I understand. I hope you’ll read her column and let us know what you think, right after the obligatory This Is Motherhood interview.

Two Performances And A Wardrobe Malfunction
2008-06-01 05:21:00 My little bee had her dance recital this weekend. She was so excited about it. Not so much about the dancing part - she does that every week in class - but, the wearing her recital costume part - the recital costume I’ve been guarding like Cerberus to keep intact for the big recital. And I was proud to say it survived more than a month of attempts to snatch it for dress up play, one photo shoot, and two dress rehearsals. Like I was saying, I was proud… As I was getting her dressed in the waiting room before the show, she pulled her bee antennae headband out of her bag and it snapped. I couldn’t believe it. I just stood there staring at the pieces. Thankfully, one of the other mothers stepped in and helped me Macgyver it to her head, just in time for me to get back to my seat and worry through eight performances about whether or not it held up for hers. It did. Julia was adorable. She performed twice - a tap routine and a ballet routine. You can see them ... More About: Performances
