Not too long ago, I wrote about being in “The Drowning Stage”, this phase of life when I feel so overwhelmed by trying to keep up with the day to day of young kids that I feel like I can’t exactly breathe all the time. I liked this post–A LOT. When writing it, I felt […]
A Two-Yardsale Kind of Day
I am not an easy person to get out of my house. There’s the whole social recluse thing, the fact that I think my couch is really comfortable, and that I would prefer to go to sleep every night at 7pm. Despite these “please hang out with me” social cues, I had a sweet friend […]
Home Sweet Home
Not too long ago I found something amazing. Something that spoke to me. Something that blessed me and lent normalcy to my life. What was this find? The Fierce Diva Guide to Life. Ilene, the woman behind this site, is a powerhouse of fantastic. I love her attitude and her perspective, but moreover I have […]
Why We Don’t Eat at Restaurants (Or Generally Leave the House)
Yes! Today is the day, the first Wednesday of the month, the day we all get to laugh away with Finding the Funny. And super-special cool news–this month we are bringing you a chance to win a custom facebook cover! (My brain hurts as I try to figure out a way to throw the Rafflecopter […]
A Factual Reporting of Star Magazine
I could make a bunch of arguments as to why Star magazine is quality literature and deserves boatloads of accolades. Granted, these arguments would make more sense if a) you were stupid and/or b) the margaritas had been flowing for some time – but I could make them. I think the real bummer of totally […]
10 Reasons My Children Won’t End Up In Prison (probably)
I love Fridays. The sense of possibility and hope, sweet hope, that maybe this will be the weekend you will finally score a nap, the shared fantasy of parents worldwide. Eh, if it doesn’t happen, OH WELL. But at least Friday delivers the dream. It’s all about the dream, people! I especially love this particular […]
When Horseshoe Pits Happen
My husband and I are nothing alike. I love the man, but I confess, sometimes I look at him and think, “Is it certain that we are both human?” I question our species-similarity after something happens that poignantly reinforces our differences. I might see him cozying up with the History Channel (what is the deal […]
Giving It Up for My Gals
A big thing happened in my life about a year and a half ago. I would say I found my voice, but that’s still changing and developing all the time, so that wouldn’t be true. No, I would say I found my peace. My true peace I of course seek from the Lord above, but […]
And The Award For Prying A Small Child Off Of A Gumball Machine Goes To…Me
Jennifer of Beyond the Crib is kicking it! This very cool gal is Mom to EIGHT kiddos. (I know, I officially now have no leg to stand on whatsoever when whining about trying to manage my two.) The really neat thing about Jennifer is that she is using her experience to bless others. I love this […]
Dudley the Duck
Dudley the Duck. Dudley the Darn, Darn Duck. When the preschool teacher first sent out the monthly newsletter notifying us that Dudley would be making his rounds to the home of each student in the class for a couple nights at a time, I thought, “How cute.” Silly, ignorant first-time mom of a preschooler. Little […]
