On My Loop


My parenting motto: "Encourage them to think for themselves."

Mornings are always smoother when...
"...it's the weekend. Sam is not a morning person; he always wants five more minutes. If we have crepes or custard-filled doughnuts, that usually gets him up."

My guiltiest pleasure is...
"...butter cream frosting."

I always feel saner when...
"...I have a routine."

My most humbling parent moment is...
"...watching my son work any electronic device 300 times faster than I can."

Activity I don't love but do anyway because my kid loves it:
"Watching football on TV. But if that's what I have to do for snuggle time, I'll take it."

I'm currently reading...
"...The Dancer Within [Wesleyan University Press], a collection of interviews with dancers."
