Little guy has a cough and low-grade temp AGAIN (extra big shout out to @sarahbishi for babysitting knowing that), so mommy gets a cuddle day. (First photo is after Tylenol, second is before.) Granted I’m probably also getting the germs that are going to make me miserable for all of spring break, but that comes with the territory…

For the people who only know me as an author, you might not know how much of an influence Bruce has been on my life. I started listening as a teenager when I was going through a rough patch and couldn’t sleep. My brother brought me a Bruce mix and said to try that, because it was what our dad listened to when we were kids. I got to Atlantic City, cried (which I hadn’t been able to do all week), and finally slept.
My first show was twenty years and three weeks ago today. And it was a level of catharsis I never knew existed. I was hooked.
Little known fact: in 2010, I self-published a novel called Beyond the Palace, and my characters met following Bruce on the Rising tour (hey, they say to write what you know, right?). The story was inspired by the song “Backstreets,” which I first heard live after my dad and I crashed @stevievanzandt’s press conference for his Rock and Roll Forever Foundation. I told him I used “Born to Run” when I teach poetry and asked if he would ask Bruce to play “Backstreets” for me. He did.
So when Bruce played “Backstreets” tonight, it hit me how far I’ve come. I’m a bestselling author now. And I cried through the whole song.
My soul needed this. And yes, that’s Bruce holding my hand. Major shoutout to my husband for getting that shot (again! Bruce loves me too!) And an extra big thank you to @sarahbishi for babysitting. My last E Street show was when I was pregnant with Jacob! It’s amazing how much has changed and how much is still the same.
And if you’ve read this far, yes, Beyond the Palace is still in print, under my maiden name.

Show 44. Let’s go BRUUUUUUCE!
Also I ran into @mlwhite1221 who taught in the room next door to me a few years ago! Too funny!

This almost six year old wanted to walk home from kindergarten on this beautiful day, so we did!

Happy anniversary (I won’t say which one, but damn they’re old!) to my parents! Thanks for producing me and a spare and not making me wear that hat at my wedding…
(Sorry, @agood001… love you! 😂)
For all my fellow educators, a reminder about Ramadan.

Out here screaming happy pub day to my girl @allaboutthat_lace with her third novel, THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN!
Let me tell you, this is the romcom you need in your life right now (especially if you’re like me and everything feels like a mess).
The story: when the town’s millionaire dies, he leaves a competition to inherit ten million dollars. The only catch? You’re partnered with your arch enemy. Which, okay, fair, sounds rough. But hilarity (and love connections) ensue!
Lacie is a master of chemistry in her romances and by the time the MCs get together, you’re SCREAMING for it to happen.
Also? Total New Girl vibes in this (sorta) grumpy/sunshine romance.

You know that thing, where if you’re really good at your job, they just make you do more work instead of rewarding you? That applies at home too.
In other words, this is my family’s fourth batch of hamantaschen this year 😵💫😵💫😵💫

First soccer lesson. He’s already a pro! (And a full head taller than all the other kids except his bestie, who is also a giant pandemic baby)

How my green-loving child is going to school for St Patrick’s Day. He also got green pancakes and green eggs (no ham—we’re Jewish 🤪) for breakfast.
Now Max, who loves yellow, wants yellow pancakes and eggs tomorrow… nobody tell him 😂😂😂😂

Happy first birthday to our puppy, Gracie Pancake! You’re a crazy little cuddle gremlin and we love you to the moon and back.
And yes, I made “pup cakes” and wrapped her presents. Because I’m extra. Let me know if you need the recipe 🤣
