My Incredible Boy
Pin itMy boy. He is full of amazing. I adore him with more that my heart can hold. I don’t feel like I deserve to be his mom, but I am so proud to be the woman who gets to be his mom. I am blessed. When he was a toddler and preschooler, we had [...]
He Is Risen!
Pin itHe is risen indeed! Have a blessed Easter Sunday, my friends. Joy in your families… joy in your friends… Joy in the blessings each of us have regardless of our burdens, struggles, pain… May each of us be able to see those things that bring fullness to our lives today – regardless of religious [...]
2 Birthdays: My Husband and My Blog
Pin itYesterday was a big day. Not only was it the world premiere of my first music video, but it was also my husband’s birthday AND my blog’s birthday. Let me tell you, it ain’t easy brining breakfast in bed to a blog. A girl has to get VERY creative to make a blog’s “big [...]
Pimp My Tweet
Pin itAll ya’ll. Who’s on Twitter? You on the Twitter? If ya are… am I following you? Are you following me? If not — we need to hook-up, yo!. If you are not “on” Twitter…. uh…. Why the heck not? Is is because you feel like this guy does? Twitter kind-of rocks my world. I [...]
You missed out on a delicious chocolate malt Sunday p.m.
Pin itMy great-grandmother passed away over 10 years ago. I adored my Grandma Sue. I still do, and I feel an ache in my heart because I miss her. I wrote a short post about her back in November. My great-grandma… she rarely shared about her childhood. I tried to help her fill out a [...]
Happy Valentine's Day. Really.
Pin itI mentioned yesterday that I am not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t even know if “Valentine’s” should have an apostrophe. Sheesh. If it wasn’t for the glitter I think I’d shoot Cupid with his/her (yeah, another reason I don’t “get” it) own arrow. But I am actually trying to spread some [...]
Valentine's Day and the Blackness of My Heart
Pin it3 kids. 3 times the sugar-rush. Preschool, 1st grade and 3rd grade… Being the self-proclaimed Valentine scrooge that I am, I started this Friday the 13th off right – fuming about the ridiculosity of this “holiday”. My poor kids. I may be robbing the sweetness right on out of their Valentine-lovin’ hearts. *raises [...]
I'm glad I didn't tell the kids their cat was dead.
Pin itBecause he is not. I found him this morning and coaxed him back up to the house. I even had most of a post written tellong the world that our cat was dead. Barring actually having a cat corpse to prove it – I had enough circumstantial evidence to make my case: I found [...]
Make Time to Take Time
Pin itI have a new post up at Type-A Mom… Tell me, moms, how do you make time in your schedule to take some time for you? If your life is anything like mine, you most likely have little to no extra time in the day to add anything else. I am learning that it [...]
In Which I Share a Few Thoughts on Running and Music
Pin itDid you see my recent post… about how I recently baked a cake for the sole purpose of eating it by the row(s)? My post today is about 180 degrees in the opposite direction. It’s about running. Eeek – exercise! I have had a few friends recently ask me about what music I listen [...]
