I couldn&#8217;t even begin to guess at how many times a parent has said that to me since I was pregnant. It&#8217;s the mantra of all parents everywhere: they grow up fast.
I&#8217;m still sticking to my guns about wanting him to grow to just a little bit older, [...]]]></description>

My parents &#8212; who live in the middle of nowhere an adorable little town just south of the Sequoias &#8212; are, in a word, awesome. We&#8217;re pretty much exactly the opposite: they drive big cars, they vote for the &#8220;other&#8221; party, they tease me over my concern for the planet and eating organic. But we&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

My name is Roxanne (and I&#8217;m a Mac).
Remember how I was talking about my son learning to walk? Well I thought this would be a fun little video to share on this beautiful Monday morning.

My favorite tickle spot on the little monster is his knee, and the [...]]]></description>

My parents live five hours away, so my monster&#8217;s village is comprised mostly of his dad&#8217;s family &#8212; Grammy, Grampapa and Aunt Jenny. I work full-time out of the office, but often my baby daddy can work from his parents&#8217; house, so Grammy can [...]]]></description>
