Spill It :: Monday Musing
When my daughter’s sleep disturbances first began, I didn’t realize she was in the early stages of colic, which has nothing to do with hunger. Like many parents, I found a way to blame myself, wrongly believing that I was not producing enough milk, hence, wrongly believing she was slowly starving. The nights of her […]
Gluten-Free Lemon Pancakes w/ Honey Butter :: Friday Foodie
Show me a therapist with a happy, idyllic childhood, and I’ll show you a unicorn. Growing up had some pretty rough spots for me, but a bright one was the annual Kiwanis Pancake Supper (isn’t the word “supper” awesome?). All you could eat stacks of round perfection, with slabs of fried ham on the side. […]
Why Can’t I Get Just One Kiss? :: Tuesday Tip
After the transformative experience of adding a new life to your family, it’s fascinating how comfortable you can become with this little being attached to you, at all times. Many parents feel weird the first time they leave home without their baby – it’s as if they’re walking around missing an appendage. During the first […]

I Can’t Put Them In A Bubble? :: Monday Musing
My first baby caught his first cold at the age of ten months. I was devastated. I assumed that the breast-feeding, pureed veggies and good sleep would make my little one immune to all illness. I was wrong. When I schlepped my congested patient into our pediatrician’s office, she calmly explained that my son had […]
Gluten-Free Parsley-Garlic Chicken :: Friday Foodie
This is a gluten-free version of a classic recipe Jacques Pépin prepared on one of his PBS shows. Jacques is awesome. My favorite series is “Cooking With Claudine” (his daughter); for the food, but even more for their fascinating relationship dynamic, which includes Claudine’s habit of snapping at Jacques each time he gently suggests […]
Pimp My Self-Care :: Tuesday Tip
As both an expectant and new parent, you get a LOT of advice. Some of it you solicit, and some of it you really, really don’t. The advice that helped me stomach all the advice? “Try to take each suggestion as the person’s attempt at a gift; it won’t always fit or be the right […]
Strengthening Relationships with Harville Hendrix :: Saturday Share
Have you ever wondered what exactly creates chemistry between two people? Or why the characteristics that drew you to a particular person might be the very same traits that drive you crazy later?

Who Am I To Judge? :: Sunday Sanity
Confession time. Back in my pre-baby years, I was known to cringe and walk the other way when I heard a fussy baby in the grocery store. Why would anyone try to shop with a screaming child in tow? I silently questioned. Three years later, I knew the answer. I was now the parent who […]
Braised Collard Greens with Olive Oil Breadcrumbs :: Friday Foodie
Okay. I’ll be straight with you… my kids become mildly offended when I serve greens to them, rendering this recipe slightly less than family “friendly”. But, as you’re gathering, BPP is all about self-care, which carries over to how your kids see you taking care of your own body, and the resulting impression on them. […]
Desperately Seeking… Human Connection :: Tuesday Tip
I can mingle and party with the best of them, but when it comes to recharging my batteries, I’m a classic introvert. Give me a quiet house, a cup of tea, and a good book – I’m as happy as a toddler in a Tupperware drawer. For this reason, I figured that quitting my office […]
