The rain gods decided to roll in on Chita + Alex’s wedding day. Their lovey outdoor wedding had to be moved to an indoor venue at the eleventh hour. Somewhat like a scene from my favorite Mira Nair film, Monsoon Wedding, it came down to to the frantic, last minute chaos of planning the wedding. […]

Apparently, one cannot be a good ball player without chewing gum. Before the game, during the game, after the game and pretty much anytime. All-the-time. So I have been told by my seven year old. As a mom that wants her kid to excel in his chosen sport I comply on occasion. If I don’t […]
