Wait, Is This Seriously All For 6th Grade Graduation?

May 29, 2019 by Risa Green Leave a Comment

My daughter is about to graduate from sixth grade.  She’s transitioning from elementary school to middle school.  Personally, I don’t think this requires a whole lot of fanfare.  Maybe there could be a class party, maybe the sixth graders might get a little extra space in the yearbook.  Perhaps there could be some sort of assembly. On my last day of … [Read more...] about Wait, Is This Seriously All For 6th Grade Graduation?

A Letter To My Son, About Being A Little Brother

January 22, 2019 by Risa Green Leave a Comment

To my sweet boy, I’m just going to come out and say it: it sucks to be a younger sibling.  I can’t say I know how you feel, because as a firstborn, I have never been in your shoes. But I remember how I used to treat my little brother, and I wouldn't have traded places with him for anything.

June 25, 2017 by Risa Green Leave a Comment

Third Child

Something strange has been happening to me lately:  I keep thinking I want to have another baby.  Except, I don’t. The thing is, there are babies all around me.  My brother just had a baby.  My cousin just had twins.  My best friend just had her fourth.  It’s been a long time since I’ve been around this many babies, and I won’t lie, the smell and the softness and the perfection … [Read more...] about I Want a Third Child, Except, I Really Don’t
