Friends! I am so excited to share my new look with you. Check it out! Do you love it? I’m tickled with it! And this is a BIG DEAL. Pigs have flown. They have flown in a major way. Let me catch you up to speed on how the past year or so has gone down around […]
Go! POW!
We pray with our kids. A few times a day for sure, more if the Spirit moves us or if we’re in the midst of a tantrum so epic, Mommy sees no other recourse but to wail to God, “Please give me patience to handle this horror–or a full lobotomy so I can remember none […]
Ten Skin Savers You Need, Busy Mama!
Let’s be real for a minute here, mamas. The older I get, I realize there is very little hope for ever fully taming my thighs situation. That’s cool, I can handle that…mostly, on good days, when I am not surrounded by too many adorable hip moms in their exquisite athleisure. It’s a brutal world at preschool […]
Book Club Holds Court
As an avid non-fan of bitter cold winter days, naming my favorite part of the tundra-like existence is an easy call: reading. Reading obsessively, continually. In all corners of the day and night and cagey-kid filled hours when you resort to shamelessly bribing the cherubs with bonus iPad time so you can snag just 15 minutes of peace. […]
The Lessons You Never Forget
I’m very happy and grateful to once again have Kathy Radigan of My Dishwasher’s Possessed! as a guest blogger, this time with a post written especially for Mom of the Year. As most of you know my son has been having some challenges in first grade. Back in the 70’s, Kathy had her own difficulties […]
Tooth Fairy 2.0
My son is a wee little guy. Aside from being a cute ball of love, he saves us a ton of cash by rocking the same sizes for years at a time. Needless to say, his physical development proceeds not at a soaring pace. So when all of his cohorts began losing their teeth, we spent a fair bit […]
10 Lessons Learned in the Trenches of New Motherhood
I’m tickled to have Kathy Radigan of My Dishwasher’s Possessed! on Mom of the Year today sharing about the 10 things she wished she knew before she had her first baby. Kathy is a dear friend and fellow blogger I’ve known for a few years now, and I always enjoy reading about her life as a […]
They’re Friends
I’ve not yet shared the truth of when I first learned I was having a girl for my second baby: I sobbed some very agonized sobs. You see, it’s not that I was opposed to girls. I, in fact, am a girl and generally like girl-related stuff. The problem came into play in that I was beyond […]
Time to Freshen Up with a New Rug!
We have a bit of a sticky wicket in our home: I can’t stand clutter, but cleaning and I aren’t besties. And as any mom knows, kids are mini walking cyclones of clutter. Give my children 30 seconds in the house, and the resulting explosion of Angry Bird pieces and Barbie shoes is impressively horrific. So […]
I Used to Be, Now I’m Just Me
I’m tight with the bank drive-through. We’ve got a good thing going. It’s been there for me ever since those crazy little people in car seats first began cropping up in the back of my minivan and as a faithful visitor, I rarely fail to pop by for my weekly hello. Yet yesterday, as happens in all long-term relationships, the drive-through […]
