Mommy tears

My baby turns one in October.

I've never had a child, but this magazine comes pretty damn close to one. The sweat, the tears, the back-breaking preliminary start-up and the good old days I used to haul bags and bags of food across town... has it really been a year since we went through all of that?

We're putting the finishing touches on our 12th issue, and I'm getting all teary-eyed.

Happy birthday in advance, sweetheart. It's been one hell of a run, from flapping at ground zero to becoming the relatively well-oiled machine you are today. Your mommies are super, duper proud of you.
