What We're Loving This Month

A little late to the party, Kirk and I are just finishing up the final season of Parenthood. I'll be a little sad to say goodbye to the Bravermans. What I love about that show is how it really celebrates family -- and a big, multigenerational, sometimes wonderful, sometimes messed up family. It feels real -- at least more real than the way most TV shows depict families.

I find myself wishing that all my siblings lived in the same town and that they'd pop by my work just to ask me a question (instead of texting like normal people) and we'd have sibling dance parties and hang out in hospital waiting rooms together. (Okay, maybe not that last part.) I can't believe we're all grown up and that my brothers and sister and I are all adults and are married and have children.

I also can't believe my baby just turned 3, because it means that I don't really have a baby anymore -- just kids. But they're pretty awesome kids. And I feel incredibly grateful to be a mother and a sister and a daughter and a wife.

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers and nurturers and sisters and daughters out there! xo
