I just love your writing. I stumbled upon your first post a year or two ago and blubbered...completely blubbered. And have not forgotten it.

Was just looking through this post after a time away, and my 3.5 and 5.5 yr old sons came in. My older one said, "Who is that?" with a picture of Nella. I said "That is a beautiful little girl named Nella."

My little son said, "Does she have a mama?" And I said yes, she has a wonderful mama." And then he said, "She happy."

Good job, Mama.

Kelle, Your writing is inspiring, real and reaches deep into my heart. Thank you for taking the time to share your life and soul with us blog readers. I am a grandmother and your posts are beautifully written and often bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for being a 'light' in my day as I travel to your blog on my computer for a reminder of what really matters in life. Much love to you!

I wish I had read that you were in new york earlier. the beginning of your post about positive graffiti is so fitting, because my 7 year old son (who has Down syndrome) is featured in an NYC art exhibit by photographer Elisabeth Jordan on prayer and positive graffiti from Haiti. It's called Written Offereings, and there are 4 children featured who are in need of extra prayers, in addition to the Haitian graffiti, and each photograph is covered in plexiglass so people can write their own positive thoughts directly on the photographs. Best part is, the last "photo" in the exhibit is a mirror. I wish you could have gone to see it.http://kkallaur.blogspot.com/2012/01/short-and-sweet.html

Great post--I always enjoy them! Alta is amazing and Magnolia Bakery is the BEST--we had these at our wedding and I try to eat them as much as possible. ;)

Just wanted to say the photo of Miss Nella and the doughnuts and the Dunkin Doughnuts cup on the photo dump made me smile. Such the expression from her.

Seriously, who sees “unicorn” carved in the cement sidewalk when on vacation??? I love NYC even in the rain.

And just checked out Nella’s “2 for 2” fundraiser . . . wahoo! Over $200,00 with a few days to spare!

Welcome home!

*You are a good fit no matter where you are.....you belong everywhere :)
*Okay, not just saying this, but sometimes Nella looks like my Nora! The pic of her standing with arms out stretched on the tennis court....I gasped and then smiled real big :)
*And I think my favorite phone dump picture to date has got to be Nella with the Dunkin' Donuts....Aaahhh! Her expression is PRICELESS! I want to eat her UP!!! (along with the donuts & coffee).

Oh man am I laughing so hard right now reading the section about breast feeding... I am breast feeding my 8 month old still and I am too the point of 'is she getting anything or am just doing this for me?'. Too funny!! Thanks for the laugh!

2012-01-30T07:54:09.732-08:00

OMG- You did it! $200,000!

Love it as always... sometimes I think we are the same person. Breathing them even when you don't mean to... I know exactly what you are talking about!

2012-01-29T20:43:11.773-08:00

Love the NY pictures - it sure looks like you packed it all in. Please promise me you'll eat a bagel next time, write about the smell of a NY bagel shop and describe the experience. Every time I long for the east coast and NY it's with bagels on my mind.

2012-01-29T19:35:31.967-08:00

just wait until who you leave behind are teenagers....you still smell them and feel them and miss them...all while wondering what kind of trouble they're getting into.....and then your mind starts wondering and no matter what you're away for {business or pleasure} you can't concentrate and walk around in an almost moronic state.....oh kids. they truly are your heart walking around outside your body !!

2012-01-29T19:22:00.363-08:00

I've not had a full night away from my baby since before she was born.... she'll be three in March.

I am so proud of your ability to claim some me-time. What a good mommy role model.

2012-01-29T18:36:41.432-08:00

Ah, Kelle, you are too funny!! Love the utterly sidetracked comment. I totally could see you laughing at yourself as you wrote that.

You remind me so much of my husband. He is always saying the funniest things but the best part is how funny he knows he is.

Like Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fay on Weekend update when they would laugh so hard at themselves that they could hardly go on with their bit. I imagine that you are exactly like that! :)

Love the post!

2012-01-29T15:41:24.737-08:00

Welcome back Kelle! Missed reading your posts so much! Love that you still nurse Nella.......I nursed my oldest until he was almost 2 1/2 and still nursing my 16-month-old........they eventually wean themselves when they are ready. Have a great week! Blessings! : )

Haha...loved your "rhymes with quest" milk pumping story. That was too funny! And the picture of Nella with her Dunkin' Donuts is great! I know what you mean about enjoying the "me" time but still thinking about your kiddos at the same time. I love reading your blog...it always makes me smile.

The Upper Breast Side! When my babies were babies I used to make cloth diapers and washcloths and the owner of that shop used to sell my stuff. So cool that you were there. :)

Awesome and so my mantra: more similarities than differences. It creates beauty and opportunity for growth everywhere. I believe this concept is what united us all those years ago...

That photo of Lainey and Latte: Margot said, "Wait! Oh, mama! I want a little bear like that!"
