Author: Cheryl Dumesnil and Alan Shannon
A freelance writer and writing coach, Cheryl Dumesnil likes nothing more than laughing at the crazy things her kids say. Her books include a memoir, Love Song for Baby X: How I Stayed (Almost) Sane on the Rocky Road to Parenthood; a collection of poems, In Praise of Falling; the anthology Hitched! Wedding Stories from San Francisco City Hall; and the anthology Dorothy Parker’s Elbow: Tattoos on Writers, Writers on Tattoos, co-edited with Kim Addonizio. When she’s not writing or teaching, Cheryl’s hiking, yoga-ing, begging her children to stop the potty talk please, or trying to toss pop flies, without tearing her rotator cuff. Check her out at CherylDumesnil.com.

That’s just sumptuous. The light from above makes it look positively Rembrandtian, if that’s a word. Anyway, just beautiful. What quiet surrounds them both. (And congratulations!)
Hey, that’s me! I feel famous. (But not famous enough to have a blog.) Maggie is almost six months old now, and, amazingly, the vibe is still the same. She’s a total sweetheart, peaceful and interested in the world.
Thanks for the kudos, I’ll pass them on to my friend who took the pic. And thanks for your blog, and all the ladies on the right – they give us non-bloggers a glimpse into the daily realities we dream of creating for ourselves.
