Philosophies of Motherhood: The True Gentleman
http://philomere.blogspot.com/2012/02/true-gentleman.html
Wednesday, February 15, 2012. My Grandfather, 93, had a stroke last week which landed him in the hospital and then at the skilled nursing facility in his retirement community. He didn't allow anything of this unfortunate circumstance to deprive him of his gracious spirit, his hopeful outlook, or the twinkle in his eye. Obviously, you can't keep a good man down. February 15, 2012 at 6:42 PM. That photo is absolutely adorable. February 15, 2012 at 7:53 PM. Beautiful, Mona Helen. Quote of the moment. Unbeli...

Philosophies of Motherhood: A Novel Experience
http://philomere.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-novel-experience.html
Friday, November 30, 2012. Unbelievably, I delivered the goods, rising to the NaNoWriMo challenge of committing 50,000 words to paper in thirty days. How? There’s a reason. I went into advertising — pithy headlines, I can churn those out all day. But a novel? December 1, 2012 at 4:50 AM. Come back in six months or a year, and then we might listen to what you think about this book. (Better yet, give it to someone else to read in the meantime.). December 1, 2012 at 8:42 AM. Quote of the moment. MOTHER of F...

Philosophies of Motherhood: Implosion
http://philomere.blogspot.com/2012/10/implosion.html
Friday, October 5, 2012. In June, when I wrote about folding in. I imagined a calm, controlled, and dignified process of shutting out the world's chaos. But the world, apparently, doesn't work that way. What happened instead was more of an implosion, as though someone lifted the lid of my vacuum sealed jar-of-a-life and the walls suddenly shattered into a million splintered shards. A pile of fractured hearts. A cosmic collapse. Time to pick up the pieces, right? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). More o...

Philosophies of Motherhood: Vive la France!
http://philomere.blogspot.com/2013/07/vive-la-france.html
Sunday, July 14, 2013. I love this photo, taken several years ago by a friend of a friend of Chloe's, a student at the Lycee Francaise in the City. It captures a perfect moment of expat French patriotism on Bastille Day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Every mother is a working mother.". Quote of the moment.

Philosophies of Motherhood: Glimpses
http://philomere.blogspot.com/2012/09/glimpses.html
Thursday, September 20, 2012. But then a funny thing happened. I decided to race ahead, cutting corners, to catch a glimpse of those petals floating around the bend, to reassure myself that I can see what's coming. I waited. And waited. And waited. And they never came. Finally, I had to let go of that. Coco Bread and Croissant. October 6, 2012 at 12:36 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Every mother is a working mother.".

Philosophies of Motherhood: Mouse Invasion!
http://philomere.blogspot.com/2010/11/mouse-invasion.html
Sunday, November 21, 2010. Whenever I decide to go all Martha Stewart, I'm always actually relieved when it doesn't turn out as perfectly at the picture. The whole point is - even with burnt ears and red-rather-than-black tails - the kids simply had a blast with their friends creating these little mouse cookies (it's the journey, not the destination).

Philosophies of Motherhood: Birthday Greetings, Bottle of Wine
http://philomere.blogspot.com/2007/10/birthday-greetings-bottle-of-wine.html
Sunday, October 14, 2007. Birthday Greetings, Bottle of Wine. If you had stayed among us mere mortals, you’d be 64 today. I imagine you’re cavorting with the angels and having a grand. Fête of your own –. You never did go anywhere without taking the party with you –. And I’m sure your brand of heaven has Original Wheat Thins and spreadable cheddar, too. Well we don’t want you to celebrate without us, so first thing this morning we’re going to blast When I’m 64. Happy Birthday Marmay, with love,. I can se...

Philosophies of Motherhood: Pilgrimage
http://philomere.blogspot.com/2012/10/pilgrimage.html
Sunday, October 14, 2012. The mountains are calling and I must go." — John Muir. Pilgrims make their journeys for any number of reasons: as a way to seek out moral or spiritual higher ground, as penance for sins (imagined or real), as a sign of devotion, or in the hopes of some relief, some cure, miraculous or otherwise. Or maybe (if you're really whacked) all of the above, all at once. Which explains my presence in this spot, at this moment. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Quote of the moment. Unbel...
