Pie is obsessed with socks in general and a pair of hand-me-down socks that have a cat on each one over the toes in particular. “Kitty cat! Kitty cat! Meow! Meow!” The socks, dirty after a day of play, come off for bath. In her pretty clean pajamas, she demands, “Socks! Socks! Kitty cats!” and [...]

The Pie was so excited she nearly jumped up and down and she immediately plopped herself on the kitchen floor and began opening different boxes of cereal, plunging her hand in and cramming her mouth full as if [...]
Currently it’s rainy and 37 degrees. Scratch that: it’s snowy. My son has no school because it’s Passover. My daughter has no school because she woke up this morning with a fever of 105.2. I am able to type this now thanks to the combined power of puzzles, stickers, and chocolate matzah. Today has already [...]
