I had fun looking over the last year. It’s amazing how many details we forget and how much actually happens within one year. My social life was off the charts – mostly with new friends made through preschool, church, and the mommy group. I was challenged to do things like play laser tag and try […]
Fire and Dust {Book Review}
In April 2014 I had the opportunity to review Christopher Datta’s historical fiction Touched with Fire. I loved this book. It is a book based on actual events and people in the Civil War. This particular book was about Ellen Craft, a slave who was so light skinned people believed she was white. She was […]
Happy 5th Birthday Jelly Bean
As parents, we all think our children are the most talented, beautiful, loving and exceptional, don’t we? Well, I do too. And with Jelly Bean, I think most people who meet her feel the same. She can be extremely outgoing and devastatingly shy. But when she smiles… makes my world just stop. The child has […]

The “Holy crap Christmas is in a week and I haven’t even started shopping yet!” holiday gift guide
This is usually me. I’m a procrastinator. I’m writing this gift guide at the last minute. But ironically, I have done all of my shopping and am now just down to the little things. It’s a relief. However… usually I find myself in Target or Walmart a few days before Christmas, scrounging through whatever is […]
6 Things My Sister-in-Law Has Taught me about being STRONG – Boston Strong

Make someone smile – Kathryn Day 2014
It’s Kathryn Day I cannot let the day pass without remembering her, and making sure everyone else remembers her too, but I also don’t want the day to be a sad and gloomy day. I challenged everyone through my Facebook page to do something kind for someone today in Kathryn’s memory. Can you do something […]
The Safe Delivery App – Maternal Health
Since losing my own baby, I have become acutely aware of maternal health and newborn health topics. One platform I have become increasingly passionate about is saving mothers and babies from dying from preventable causes during pregnancy and delivery. In our case, even the best medical facility, the best prenatal care, and access to the […]
Happy Birthday Tiny and Kathryn!
Three years ago… December 10, 2011. I woke up in the hospital bed at about 6am like normal. Shift change. The night nurse checked on me one last time, and I knew I wouldn’t see anyone again for awhile. Since it was Saturday morning, I knew I would not have the normal troop of medical […]
This House Needs a Mouse
This house needs a mouse! Okay, MY house does not need a mouse – at least I didn’t think so until we read This House Needs a Mouse by C. Jeffrey Nunnally. By the way, I was provided a copy in exchange for my review, but all opinions are my own. Isn’t it […]
Is Heaven for Real?
This is my period of grief. In just a few days we will celebrate the third birthday of my identical twin daughters, and just two days later, mourn the 3 year anniversary of the loss of one of them. I try to fill the birthday with joy and celebrate my survivor Tiny as much as […]

I’m so sorry my daughter peed (and pooped) on your store floor… but you kinda asked for it
Has this scenario ever happened to you? I ran across the store floor with my two year old daughter in my arms. As I approached the store employee, who was shuffling through clothes with a bored look on her face, I asked in a panic, “Do you have a bathroom we can use? She really […]
