It’s Not About the City Today

May 13, 2012 by momindcity 2 Comments

This Mother’s Day started with an email, from my always-supportive mom, telling me how much she loved my first blog post and that so many new people would move to the neighborhood thanks to my new blog. Gotta love that woman. For some strange reason, no matter what I do, she thinks I’m the most influential, beautiful, gifted girl to ever walk the earth.

Everyone seemed to have the same idea and the same goal: enjoy our neighborhood on these perfect days and forget (ignore?) the other side of the Hill whenever we can. That’s certainly what we were trying to do for my 5-year old’s classmate and friend who joined us today so that her parents could get themselves together after their house was ransacked and robbed while they were at work yesterday.
