Maxwell the Tattooed Boy and Other Astounding Joys

Things occur to me. I've been jotting them down on old envelopes and stray receipts and the like. Most of them involve the natural brilliance and astonishing wit of my eleven-year-old, his progress toward realizing his life, and my awkward attempts at helping him get there without too many dings, dents or other damage. Of course, there are other things too, like fashion police incidents and goofy dumbass stuff not involving Max at all. So here they are. VOILA.

About Me

My Photo
Elle
I'm 51, married to my honey, Chuck, mom to Max, 12. I'm Children's Librarian at a public library, a freelance writer, jewelry designer, food stylist, faux finish artist and whatever else I gotta do to hump the next check; at home I channel Julia Child and herd dust bunnies. Curious about the name of the blog? CLICK HERE and find out the story of my inspiration. (PHOTO CREDIT: CHUCK)
