Mother's Day 2026, Brought to to You by the Letter "H"


Some of my favorite gifts ever have been bestowed by my beloved He-Twin and She-Twin.

From the little heart-shaped, hand-painted mirror labelled "Mommy" (She-Twin), to the canvas hand-painted readily-recognizable portrait of our family home (He-Twin)---both on my nightstand---they have always known what I would cherish long-term. 

As adults, they're well-aware of my tastes and leanings.

This year? Hydrangeas (He-Twin) and a Haring tote (She-Twin)?
Knocked it outta the park. 

Not to be overlooked, gorgeous cut flowers from Double Daddy, still blooming and lovely this morning.

The three of them as my family are gifts beyond measure, but the special thoughtfulness made this Mother's Day extra-memorable.

Love you so.

Pomp and Circumstance - Celebrating He-Twin

Can hardly believe our He-Twin has been a college graduate now for a month!

Unlike covid-impacted high school graduation, VCU's Class of 2024 was able to have an indoor, walk-the-stage department experience, and a full-on, full-class, Siegel Center ceremony. 

Graduating cum laude with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Philosophy, Darren will be exploring opportunities in research---perhaps maximizing his undergraduate work and study in AI governance.

The pictures speak volumes.





Our hearts are filled with joy, love, pride, and excitement for Darren, and for all that lies ahead of him.

We're excited to see what his future will bring!


Twinfatuation ongoing! Love you and so proud of you, Darren---
My precious He-Twin, always.
