There is a hallway in my grandparents’ home that I love. It is lined on both sides with ceiling to floor photographs. Still images that captured a moment in time. I look at them and memories of the exact day they were taken come flooding back to me. They are magic. Things change so rapidly. Children grow up. People move on. Grandparents pass. So, the biggest mistake you can make with your camera is not taking the photo at all.

A Year of Change
Looking back, I can’t believe we made it this far. This was the first year that I sent a child to ‘real’ school. As a former teacher, I knew all about how to do the first day of school.

Reunited, and it feels so…ugh
I’m getting old. My 20-year high school reunion is officially around the corner, and I am SO NOT READY for it. For a variety of reasons. I’m not a doctor or a lawyer or a future Nobel Prize candidate. Haven’t written a novel yet.

Slipped Your Mind?
After forgetting my own age, I began to worry about myself. Things started creeping into my mind, like will I be able to recall my fourth child’s name in a few years?
