I turned off all the lights except for my father’s night light, a small wild-wood lamp made by my son Hyrum, and said good-night to my unconscious father who lay in the lamp’s low glow. After sunrise, I lay awake in bed with a tired father’s Christmas-like morning mix of ant...

My Instagram feed is full of families dressed in matching holiday pajamas, swoon-worthy images of picture-perfect Christmas trees, and mantels sporting custom stockings. As a Jewish person, this can all make me feel a bit left out of the holiday spirit. While my family celebrated Hanukkah ...

And now I’m on the other side, a nearly forty year old parent whose fashion sense can best be described as “pajamas that are (probably) clean.” I don’t much like that. Don’t get me wrong, I am a proponent of comfort over style, function over form, but I look at myself in...
At Christmas time, it is tradition to exchange a new set of pajamas. We enjoy getting together on Christmas Eve and exchanging them then to wake up in on Christmas Day! Nick's family is very excited about the thought of adoption. They are all ready to step in to help and welcome this...
My sweet kid wearing her late Christmas gift (a kigurumi in Japanese) pajamas that she hasn’t taken off since last year! My spirits were lifted by the beautiful gift wrapping skills of my endlessly patient husband who has to hear the brunt of my rants. F-U Chronopost, you are trash!
