I’m sitting here drinking a latte, in part because I like writing with a hot drink in my hands. The other part is that it is nighttime and I haven’t been able to keep my eyes open past 9pm lately, which is a really inconvenient pregnancy symptom when you’re trying to balance a full time…

Sharing Cookies
When my toddler walks out of his bedroom each morning, the first thing he asks for is a treat. “No Cameron. We don’t eat treats for breakfast.” As soon as he finishes his cereal, he asks for a treat. “No Cameron. You just ate.” When I ask him what we should have for lunch, he…
