Do short people really have no reason to smile?!

May 11, 2012 by Melissa Chapman 5 Comments

I am four feet, eleven inches and three quarters. I am short- I get it- in fact shave a few inches off my height and I'd qualify to join the ranks of little people. I'm not in any sort of denial- which is why I made it a point to ALWAYS date guys who were over six feet tall. I figured if I married a guy with height I'd give my kids a fair shake at being far taller than me. Then I met my sugar … [Read more...]

And while she's a generally happy kid her demeanor had an air of excitement that was unusual. So like any good parent, rather than the kind who continues to text and e-mail on their smart phone once they've briefly … [Read more...]

My sitdown with the Grand Dame of literature; Anna Quindlen

April 11, 2011 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

Last week, the morning before ALL HELL broke loose I had the exquisite honor of enjoying a frittata and coffee, while sitting next to one of my literary heroines...the quintessential columnist, author and original mommy blogger, Ms. Anna Quindlen. I'll be honest having penned such luscious, gnaw at your heartstrings depictions of the fragility of life and our tenuous human relationships with … [Read more...]
