Every town should have one. @RoslynVillageNY
I think I've found the spot where I can go to think about my mum. This is a beautiful idea, and sits right by the ocean 5 minutes away from my house.
It may not mean much to anyone else, but at least it'll make me feel like I've gotten to say the goodbye I never got to say. 💙

This is the cutest thing and totally developmentally appropriate. It’s a generalization & adaptation of a rule during language acquisition.
This is why I LOVED working with the littles.
My wife once jokingly told our toddler that baby pigs are called piglets.She thought it was cute when she started calling baby dogs doglets,baby cats catlets & baby birds birdlets. Instead of correcting her,my wife declared those were the official names in our house. Yesterday...

I do not want to be a famous writer.
Most writers I know are repulsed by the idea of fame.
We just want folks to read and enjoy our stories. That's it.

One day, someone might recommend your book to a stranger. You'll never hear the conversation, but your story will travel further than you ever imagined.
My brother sent me this article about an obscure 70’s #horror flick. I found it on YouTube, watching now & I can tell you I remember almost every scene of this lost treasure.
Horror fans rejoice!

Life has a way of testing you when you least expect it.
There will be seasons when nothing seems to work.
When your plans fall apart.
When you feel lost, exhausted, and unsure of what tomorrow holds.
But never mistake a difficult season for a defeated life.
You have more strength within you than you realise. You can survive things you once thought would break you.
The winter won’t last forever.
Even in your darkest moments, remember that there is still a summer inside you. ❤️

We saw Sir Patrick on stage in NYC years ago (3 rows in) when he did a one man show of A Christmas Carol & dang it was one of the best renditions I’ve ever seen.

Best advice. Did all the things. Stayed sane. Best kids.
Lazymaxxing your life with babies, 0y to 3y
1. Don't buy a baby crib. Put as big a mattress as you have space for on the floor and cosleep. Preferably put it in another room than the master bedroom - sometimes baby will have hard nights but you don't want two adult zombies in the house
2. Go everywhere you want. Buy a sling or baby sack, put baby there and go for coffee. Visit a friend with an older baby and ask to try all the baby wearing devices they have, you'll find a perfect one. Have to admit it is much easier to do in a friendly climate
3. Breastfeed if you can. It will allow you not to think about baby food for months and go out easier
4. Yes you can take baby to that museum or rock concert
5. When the baby is older slowly introduce the same food as you are eating at home
6. You don't need baby courses to develop baby brains. Talk to them. Let them cook with you or help with the laundry
7. Teach kids that there are boring times of the day. I think boredom is just the best gift you can present them, we all need space for creativity.
8. Read to your kids.
9. Yes it is ok to use diapers for a longer time but then spend just one day on potty training.
10. Teach them to cook their own food. They will be so proud!
11. Kids won't eat unhealthy food if you only have healthy food at home

Someone once said to me after I had my first child, “Now you know how much your parents loved you.”
It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.

The way we were scarred by Dateline & white vans, there will be a whole new generation of traumatized parents from the Lifetime movies about trafficking & organ harvesting.
Mark my words.
