Mom

mother and children
Mom, Tom, Ricky and me, Griffith Park, ca. 1977

Today is my mom’s birthday, and I am showering her with telepathic hugs and kisses. She’s in Florida right now, spending time with girlfriends.

My mom is a fox, an angel, a princess and a superhero all rolled up in one, and I love her like mad.

Happy birthday, mom.

  • I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>


  • I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
    I look on the bright side.
    I take photos. Lots of photos.
    I wish on stars and on websites.


  • I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
    I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
    I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
    I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
