Marci Darling

I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.

Welcome to my World.

    Hours

    Annabelle initially planned to be a mermaid-witch-ballerina-princess for Halloween. She ended up narrowing it down to Cinderella, and we have the whole costume complete with glass slippers, sparkling ballgown and crown. Now that it’s two days before the big event, things have changed once again. Scenario from the bathtub tonight: “Mom! I want to be a mermaid for Halloween!” (This said with great gusto.) “I thought you were going to be Cinderella.” (This said with amused weariness.) “I changed my…

    Hours

    Woke up this morning to Henry insisting on dressing like an elephant and feeding himself a banana. He got to feed carrots and bananas to the elephants at the zoo the other day, and it’s had a far-reaching effect. Annabelle rolled out of bed and immediately donned her little white kitten costume. She drank her milk out of a saucer and got her nose and chin covered in milk, much to Henry’s delight. We then had circle time and I asked…

    Tonight I set the table for dinner. When I turned around, I saw Henry toddling out of the kitchen with the placemats on his head. After they ate their Angel Hair pasta, they climbed on top of the dinner table and started dancing and singing. Annabelle kept yelling that she needed her polka dotted skirt so she could dance better. They were hilarious today. This morning I asked Annabelle if she wanted to make m & m cookies. She said, “You…

    Dragonslayer

    Hours

    My favorite mythologist, Joseph Campbell, said near the end of every hero’s journey, we face a massive dragon guarding life’s greatest treasure—the truth of our soul. It’s a lesson I learn over and over, but it seems the dragon is bigger this time, with much sharper teeth and claws and hotter fire-breathing capabilities than ever before. But guess what? I have experience slaying dragons. After getting my Masters degree at Harvard, I craved quiet, long walks in the woods, and…

    Once Upon a Time

    Hours

    Reaching out your hand full of sand and building a magnificent glittering castle, with room for everyone you have ever loved. You know it will soon be washed into the sea. Build it anyway. Revel in the gorgeous momentary beauty, and remember, one of the things that makes it all so beautiful is that fact that it won’t last. Nothing will. I have seen the darkness, been on my knees with grief, and I still choose love.

  • Mr. Mischief

    Hours

    Mr. Mischief has been hard at work today. For months he’s been trying his hardest to get the toilet scrub brush. I’ve chased him away from it countless times and finally hid it under the sink. Well, he got it. “Mom!” Annabelle yelled to me. “He’s got the toilet brush!” I came out of the kitchen and sure enough, he was running down the hall brandishing the brush like a sword, completely delighted with his victory. I chased him and…
