There are moments of mastery.
Because there are so many more moments of barely getting by and utter failure, I have to mark these somehow.
Not to toot my own horn…
To finish reading this post, get ye over to Get Born, a radical blog of unflinchingly real women writers where I post once a month. It’s a dream come true over there.

Win! Such a great day. My A loved the water slide. His sneakers are still wet:)
I love this reflection on getting it right. Amongst the chaos and mess we all need small reminders like this.
Thanks, Rachel!
I’m a new reader (started following when you were freshly pressed), and I really enjoy your writing – it does feel honest without being forced or contrived. I loved this post and, as a mom, I totally get it!
Wow. Thanks, Julia. Best compliment I’ve received in a long time. I trust them more when they come from strangers.
You’re awesome!
