You&#8217;ve seen him do guest posts on sophistimom, giving book reviews and interviews, holding ice cream cones, or helping me cook. But maybe you&#8217;d like to see him doing his contortionist act. It&#8217;s his favorite way to start a conversation. share and enjoy]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every summer when I was a kid, the neighborhood girls&#8212;which consisted of Caitlin, Amy, and myself&#8212;were always scheming up some sort of business. One year there was a magic show, which starred my brother Josh, his buddy Seamus, and me and the girls wearing leotards cast off from Amy&#8217;s former dance recitals. What nice neighbors [...]]]></description>

My three lovelies (what I affectionately call my kids on the best of days) came into my room&#8212;not too early&#8212;on Mother&#8217;s Day morning with this for breakfast: a grapefruit, warm water with honey and lemon, and strawberries with chocolate ganache. We added the bananas later when the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In high school, I spent many an afternoon at my friend Colby&#8217;s house. In a bright corner of her home, her mom used to grow grass in a shallow pot perched on a beautiful pedestal every spring. Colby said it was for their Easter baskets. At that very moment, I decided I would always use [...]]]></description>
