I just poured myself a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc after getting Hawk (my 16 month old son) down for a nap. My daughter, Fae, (who just turned 4) is spending the afternoon with my mom. This must sound like common life details, but having a moment to myself is a complete rarity for me.

And since there are no black cherry seltzer waters left in the fridge, I’m having a glass of wine instead.
