I had a really HEAVY discussion all weekend long on Facebook – about some current events that I’m not ready to discuss yet on the blog. It left me physically and emotionally exhausted. I thought about not blogging at all this week, but I don’t want to do that either. So let’s just take a […]
Those Quiet Moments
Emotions. They can be weak, strong, good, bad. We go through highs and lows, gladness and madness. And sometimes, in a really bizarre scenario, all of them at the same time. I feel that way often. Happy, mad, glad, sad, all melded together. I feel that way when I glance up and see the picture […]
8:46 a.m. on 9/11
This post is dedicated in loving memory to my husband’s childhood best friend, Shannon, who was killed in the North Tower on 9/11/01 This was the day! She would be making her big pitch to her boss and if all went well, life would get so much better for her little family. Her maternity leave […]
The Day My Son Pooped in the Front Yard and Blamed it on the Neighbor
Y’all. Probably the funniest story I have of my sweet boy happened when he was about five years old. He was just old enough that I was allowing him to run back and forth between our neighbor’s house on his own to play with the neighbor, who was also five. But, here’s the problem. As […]

9 Things NOT to do when camping with kids
We finally took the whole family, including the dog, on a full weekend camping trip. It was great. Well, mostly great! I thought I was prepared and had done a lot of research into what TO do when camping with small children, but we learned quickly there are several things NOT to do when camping […]
Lice, lice baby!
She howled out as I tugged, perhaps a little too viciously, on the tiny little lice catching comb. She wriggled and tried to escape me, but I held on tight. Through gritted teeth I muttered some kind of threat on her well being if she did not sit there and take it like a four-year-old. […]
Positive energy leads to positive results
I saw a funny quote the other day. One of my friend’s posted on Facebook, “I’m sorry Nike, today I just can’t do it.” I laughed, I commiserated, and thought, yep, we all have days like that. I have been thinking a lot about attitude lately. I am guilty of spending a good bit of time on […]

Stop Trying to Define my “Normal”
I have been thinking about this word “normal” a lot lately. It started when I read a viral post on Scary Mommy called something like “This is What Normal Is.” The post was all about how it’s “normal” to have a messy house when you stay at home or work from home and have […]
Who would you turn to if your child was born with a rare condition?
When Christy Cook was born, 50 years ago, her esophagus was not connected properly to her stomach. She had to have 22 surgeries to get everything right! She was 4 years old when she was finally able to eat food like other kids her age! The condition she suffered from is called Esophageal Atresia (EA/TEF), […]
