Three years of wondering . . . will I be the mom at his milestones? Will I get to see this baby I adore graduate from high school, go to college, or get married?

My kids were complaining that they were spending their spring break at museums full of students on school trips. TheĀ #assholeparentĀ lives on!

Jafta performed in his first (and last) school play this weekend and it was so fun watching him. He played the mayor in Bye Bye Birdie ā¦ a role my own dad . . .

So fun celebrating @designmomās book Ejaculate Responsibly with my fellow Former Mommy Bloggersā¢. Gabrielle has written a smart and insightful book on where the responsibility for unwanted pregnancies really lies (spoiler alert: men). If you have teens itās a book I highly recommend giving or reading as a family. #ejaculateresponsibly If your TikTok algorithm has you on musical theater content, you know. Got to see the California premeire of Ride the Cyclone at @chancetheater . . .

We got to hear Jafta sing his first solo at his choir performance this year. He told me heād sue me if I posted the video so this pic will have to suffice, but I was a very proud mom. Opening night for the new @danielarsham exhibit at @ocmamuseum with my valentines. ā¤ļøā¤ļø Romantic love is amazing. It is intoxicating and exhilarating and exciting and comforting.

After almost 3 years it was surreal doing this @beerandhymnsoc thing again, and so fun to lead a crowd in Christmas carols.
