The Lyons Din: Birth Mother's Day

http://www.thelyonsdin.com/2012/05/birth-mothers-day.html

DIN: a loud continued noise; especially : a welter of discordant sounds. Saturday, May 12, 2012. She and I had never met. One day she just called. Out of the blue. Said her name was Gail. Said she had heard about us from a friend of a friend and that she liked what she heard, had liked what she read about us in the letter I so painstakingly composed and typed all those months ago then mailed, along with a wish and a prayer, to every single person I could think of. Then she chose us. She was one of the fi...

Tales of a Failed Crunchy Mom: The Room Where No Children Shall Pass

http://www.talesofafailedcrunchymom.com/2012/05/room-where-no-children-shall-pass.html

Tales of a Failed Crunchy Mom. A lifetime of missing the mark. The Room Where No Children Shall Pass. But there was one room inside that we could only stand looking in wistfully from the threshold, voices lowered to a murmur. It was The Room Where No Children Shall Pass: white brushed suede couches, plush ivory-colored carpet, fragile knick-knacks beckoning enticingly from high shelves. Everything about this room said touch me. Mostly because we couldn't. Jill: Tales of a Failed Crunchy Mom. Oh i hear yo...

Good Youngman Brown: Attn: Soon-to-be Uncles

http://www.youngmanbrown.com/2012/05/attn-soon-to-be-uncles.html

Thursday, May 10, 2012. I recently posted some helpful hints for my sisters. In regards to taking care of their new babies. I thought about it, and I realized that everyone gave them advice. They were overloaded with advice from everyone they talked to, and certainly didn’t need any tips from me. And then I thought about the fact that nobody gave me. Advice four years ago, before my first nephew was born. 1) Expect to be enlightened as to all the crazy shit. If you happen to go to the hospital when the b...

https://outlawmama.com/2012/09/26/no-hard-feelings-ms-katie-couric

My rules. My transgressions. My stories. First Post: An Introduction. No Hard Feelings, Ms. Katie Couric. I am not going to cry when the show that should have been. Airs on Thursday. I am a grown-ass woman, and I understand the vagaries of show biz. I will be neither bitter nor small-hearted. I am not holding a grudge. But I will be a little melancholy when 3PM Thursday rolls around and it’s not me sitting on the couch next to Katie Couric. I bet they have chocolate muffins and pens emblazoned with Katie...
