Though you can’t really see her, this is me with my mom when I was little. She’s doing what moms do—letting me get my feet wet, and holding my hand so I didn’t fall.
I love you, Mom, and I only hope I can be, for my children, the same kind of guide and guardian in this beautiful world as you were for me.
I'm a writer and mom living in Oakland. This is my personal blog; I write about parenting, cooking, local issues, books, and anything else that's rattling around inside my head.
I am the author of The Millennial Sword, an urban fantasy novel set in San Francisco, and two read-aloud picture books for kids, The Big Booger Bubble and Gail Murphy and the Piskies.

What a precious daughter I have, then and now. This Mother’s Day tribute is even better than the one you wrote for Pigdog, with the part about when you had worms.

ha! the worm thing is still true too.
