Hi all! In celebration of It’s Like This hitting a new mark of 100 subscribers (oh sure, I’ve been writing on Substack for 2 years…but, slow and steady, right? 🐢), I’m pulling an essay from my “Before This” file today. This is the first piece I ever wrote about my son, and the first to be published—in a beautiful anthology of stories about mothering called Monday Coffee.

Thank you to all my new and old readers!! And if you know anyone who may want to read along, please spread the word!
