I know it’s hard, and sometimes expensive getting kids ready for back to school. But just buy Crayola and buy Elmer’s glue sticks. You don’t have to buy as many and they work so much better!

Hee, hee…😜

Onto a great Adventure, we hope to see you soon, and we already miss you terribly!

You will eventually relax into this. I promise.

One grey afternoon, you'll be making dinner, whilst your ridiculously cute three-year-old sous-chef sits atop the kitchen counter, crumbling Oxo cubes and sniffing thyme.

With one arm cautiously holding him in place and the other haphazardly grating cheese, you'll finally feel at home in this not-so-new skin of yours.

You'll hand him a secret slice of cheddar and jokingly whisper "shhh!", the same way that your Dad used to.

He'll look up at you, face beaming, delighted with his unexpected tidbit.

It hits you. You're enjoying this.

Finally, all the other stuff that once felt so immediate, will start to leave you. The tiredness. Oh, the tiredness that you thought would haunt you forever. The constant doubting of your own ability, that you thought would never leave you alone. The fear that you will never, ever, get the hang of this.

Because you will, my love.

Not every day. But some of the days. And that is a welcome breakthrough.

And all the rest will slowly fade into the deep recesses, until the enduring feeling you're left with is, "I love you. I love you. I love you".

Today was a good day.

I’m one of those people who cut their teeth on a bar stool.
I learned to play pool with a step stool & a bridge.
I am who I am because of the times I’ve spent in a restaurant or bar, both as a patron and as an employee.
I will always share menus that look like this one.

And I encourage YOU to order a round for the kitchen, trust me!

Should be on every menu by LAW!

PLATTSBURGH | It started with a Facebook post. Rachael LaMoy, the owner of Souly Nature, a self-care line, put up a post on Facebook to see if any other local artists would be interested in opening up a storefront in downtown Plattsburgh.
