When my mom died last March, my head became full of thoughts in the way that it does when nothing makes sense any more. Everything was ramming around, clamoring for airtime and getting blurred in the jumble. However, in the midst of this confusion, there was a singular thought that managed to surface and kept […]
When Mommy and Daddy Go Away, Aunt A Comes to Play
My husband and I recently did the unthinkable–we went away. OVERNIGHT. Crazy stuff, I know. And we couldn’t have pulled it off without the kind help of my very beautiful and sweet sister, whom my kids lovingly refer to as Aunt A. Aunt A is cool. She’s boss. And she’s got her crap together. She […]
Wedding Season Delivered
In honor of my sweet cousin’s 1 yr. wedding anniversary, I am reposting my favorite post from last summer. I don’t think anyone else chortles and snorts as loudly as I do when they read it, but I am raising it up in cheers anyway. One year ago we were having the most fun sun-baked […]
How Far a Year Takes Us…
I’m getting my 4th on, and embracing all the fireworks, cook-outs, and pool time over the next few days (feel free to read: yelling at my children not to push each other into the pool and passing out in exhaustion before the fireworks even start), but couldn’t get the party started without again sharing this […]
The Panic of the Phantom Pregnancy
I don’t want to get into details (read: my husband will get “touchy” if I overshare on our personal life), but the chances are very slim that I’m going to be getting myself knocked up again. The womb has shut up shop and the ship of brightly colored binkies has sailed from this household. No, […]
Soaking Up Every Sweet Moment on Puppy’s Day
It’s hard to pick what the initial draw to Adrienne of The Mommy Mess was for me. Was it the title of her blog? Because it’s awesome and I feel like it encapsulates my whole being. Was it that part of her intro on her blog says, “I homeschool my boys and that really gets […]
The Time Has Come to Leave the House
A very unusual thing is happening this weekend. This Mom of the Year is going out. And by out, I mean really out, as in, the entire way to Pittsburg out. And when I get there, I am GOING TO MEET SCARY MOMMY. And not only meet, but like, hang out with her. There are rumors […]
In Hot Pursuit of a Healthy Home
I love Seventh Generation products. They make the whole parenting thing a bit easier by giving me one less thing to worry about–this is always a good thing in my book ;). Because I know this company has such a great reputation for safe products, I am free to use their stuff without any concerns […]
The Rake Shed
I have an IRL (in-real-life) friend who is beyond rockin’. Dawn has been such a blessing and so much fun. I can’t thank God enough that He put her and her friendship in my life–what a gift! Not too long ago, she told me a story about her husband and a rake shed, that make […]
I Wrote Writer
Life is full of tricky questions. Right now, for me, one of the trickiest is, “What do you do?” For a while I tried saying, “I’m a blogger”, but I found this often confused people. What the heck is a blog anyway?? Or worse, I was met with sad sympathy. A somewhat pained expression that […]
