Cast

Here are some of the faces and names you’ll see regularly on this blog:

Myself: I write about my kids and what its like to be their mom. When I’m not doing that, I’m out gathering material, which often looks like playing on the swings, digging in the garden, knitting in the rocker, casting spells in the kitchen. I do other stuff too.

Martin: my husband. Martin is a research scientist at Tufts University, a guitar player, and an excellent cook. Also the best co-parent I could imagine.

Rio: my elder daughter. Rio rocks the kindergarten at the Eliot-Pearson school at Tufts University. She tells stories, sings songs, rides her bike and learns cool stuff. You can read her birth story here.

Serena: my younger daughter. An internationally renowned expert in looking cute and innocent, Serena spends most of her time toddling, tinkering and getting her big sister in trouble. Her birth story is here.

Ian: my stepson, is an occasional guest star here, with a passion for Trotsky, Dungeons & Dragons, and Funny Stuff From The Internet. He makes pop art images.
