Breastmilk and Cheerios: Funny Things Heard in Central Park
http://breastmilkandcheerios.blogspot.com/2009/11/funny-things-heard-in-central-park.html
A candid look at motherhood. Monday, November 9, 2009. Funny Things Heard in Central Park. Every morning, I stretch my limbs and take a nice stroll in the park. The number one reason for moving into our current abode has to do with the 843 acres right across the street. I love the fact that I can walk out the door and see green, not the green of Wall Street moolah, the the actual shrubbery, trees, foliage that exists abundantly in most other places. With every bone in my body. One bicyclist to another).

Breastmilk and Cheerios: The Sleeping Dragon
http://breastmilkandcheerios.blogspot.com/2009/02/sleeping-dragon.html
A candid look at motherhood. Thursday, February 19, 2009. Adelle is asleep. She has been a little pill today. I wonder how many parents feel like their lives revolve around their babies' sleep schedules. It's not uncommon for me to tiptoe around the house at 2pm, taking phantom steps around the crib, careful not to make a sound. . Maybe she just lives up to label on her bib, 'high maintenance'. Although, knowing her, she'd probably just say that she is. How does that make sense? Well, Dad.' He explai...

A candid look at motherhood. Friday, April 30, 2010. The Joys of Divorce. My eight-year-old student tells me that she's moving to England next year, but that she'll be moving back for school the year after. She fails to mention that her parents are getting divorced. Some of her lies are great:. I see fairies in my country home. Real life fairies.". A lot of boys like me at school. Here are some cards.Rosanna and April, those are boy names.". There are so many more. I have to resist the urge to laugh.

Breastmilk and Cheerios: New Neighborhood; Little Israel, Spanish-speaking gangstas & Crazies, Part II
http://breastmilkandcheerios.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-neighborhood-little-israel-spanish.html
A candid look at motherhood. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. New Neighborhood; Little Israel, Spanish-speaking gangstas and Crazies, Part II. Growing up in the Bay Area, I wasn't immune to mixed families. In my high school alone, there were more and more half-this-and-half-that people than I could count. I loved it! At the playground across the street, I have an identity crisis almost everyday. I know I go there for Adele, but I still feel out of place. Do I sit with the (often hispanic or black) n...A few...

Breastmilk and Cheerios: Say You're One of Them
http://breastmilkandcheerios.blogspot.com/2009/10/say-youre-one-of-them.html
A candid look at motherhood. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Say You're One of Them. The rays of sun fall upon Adelle as she swings in her baby chair at the park. I took this picture a couple months back, midsummer moment captured by my phone, a glimpse into daylight and beginnings. I've been reading a book by Uwen Akpan, 'Say You're One of Them'. A hit with the world since it was featured on. I find myself in a different chaos in this book. Every story is about tragedy, but there are seeds of triumph i...

Breastmilk and Cheerios: Flight from HELL
http://breastmilkandcheerios.blogspot.com/2009/12/flight-from-hell.html
A candid look at motherhood. Thursday, December 17, 2009. I could write an entire book about flying with babies and the assholes that I come across during these endeavors. The flight from Los Angeles to New York is about five hours which is an hour and a half shorter than the reverse trek, but this trip felt arduous, long, unbearable.for a few reasons. You may ask.I will tell you why and this is the reason I was so pissed. Security man (hereafter referred to as 'dude'): 'You packed your own bags? Alex: '...

Breastmilk and Cheerios: May 2011
http://breastmilkandcheerios.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
A candid look at motherhood. Sunday, May 15, 2011. I've been away for some time and APOLOGIES! I guess working, taking care of Adele and trying to keep up with the madness of living in the city caught up me. Now, I am VERY pregnant, with only a couple months left until another little one joins our family. I am finishing off the year, completely uncomfortable, but marveling in the fact that it is spring here! If I really face the music, I know that part of my fear stems from my pride, my ridiculous belief...

Breastmilk and Cheerios: June 2009
http://breastmilkandcheerios.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
A candid look at motherhood. Friday, June 26, 2009. Michael Jackson R.I.P. Is synonomous with eighties pop, red leather jackets, moonwalks, jerry curls, and my mother. She loved the way he moved his feet, flicked his hair, rotated his pelvis (sounds more naughty than it is) and the howl that he makes when he struts his stuff. In recent years, he has been the butt of many jokes. His lightening skin tones, narrowing nose, and bizarre parenting choices have provided a different form of entertainment for...

Breastmilk and Cheerios: September 2009
http://breastmilkandcheerios.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A candid look at motherhood. Monday, September 28, 2009. I smell fall around the corner. This time of year reminds me of many things; crackling orange leaves, school year mania with my students, falling in love, and now.having my baby Adele, walking into my apartment with her bundled in my arms, wrapped tightly in a swaddle contraction, and hearing the words 'It smells like baby' from a five-year-old boy in the hallway. Like it's her job. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Growing up in the Bay Area, I wasn't...
