Just a sneak peek of some photos we got done when Ilaria was a week old. More to come because it's a pandemic (we need the feel good content, OK?!) and I'm a proud mom.

I’ve been rightly informed that Book It still exists but Pizza Hut has less market share so we’ve got our work cut out. Call the prize a “book fanum tax” or whatever we gotta do. Don’t leave out the middle and high schoolers! Free dinner for the family in a post-inflation world!

This is our Saoirse when we took her to Italy at 1. It was our first night in Bologna & the waiter in a nice restaurant picked her right up & showed her how to make an espresso & spoke to her in Italian while he held her & worked & she ate the bread clutched in her hand.

I say this as an Italian: regardless of whether you want to be a parent, children are people who belong in restaurants and cafes and libraries, and wanting them out of all public spaces has become far too disturbingly normalised in the Anglosphere.
