You Are Enough…
We hear those words, and yet, it’s often really hard to digest them. You are enough. You ARE enough. How often as a mom do you beat yourself up? I should have … I could have … I didn’t … I blew it … Did I make the right choice? It’s so easy to compare […]
I Need Some Help Here!
Can I just say how refreshing it is to read about other moms who also dislike their children? Well, not all the time, but those little stinkers KNOW how to push my buttons. Like when my two year old is about to do something naughty and I tell her to stop. She looks right at […]
18 Months
My Tiny is 18 months old today. In 18 months she has grown into her own independent, happy go lucky, contemplative, TINY human being. Although born 10 weeks early at only 1lb 10 oz, she finally made the growth chart last month when she hit 17 lbs. She IS a miracle. A miracle that the […]

One of the many questions I have been dreading anticipating since my first child was born almost 6 years ago finally came up today. As we were playing outside enjoying the absolutely gorgeous weather, my three kids and I, the topic of conversation turned to anatomy. “Mommy, do you have a ‘jina?” My three year […]

Merry Christmas Y’all!
Wishing everyone the most wonderful of Christmas’s! This year, instead of being sad that I only have one of my girls instead of both of my twins, I am focusing on thanking God that I have THIS ONE. And look how far she’s come from last Christmas to this Christmas! I don’t share pics of […]

I Can
Somewhere along this road I lost “me.” As I write my book The Boys I Left in Paris (you can read an excerpt here) I’ve been re-reading my journals from when I was in France in my early 20s. It feels like I am reading about the life of someone else. Granted, there is absolutely […]
The Princess and her Tutus
Sometimes it’s so nice to just sit back and watch the little monkeys that I am so pleased to have as mine. As my two year old daughter Jelly Bean eats her “Monster-ella” cheese, I admire how precious she is. As usual, she is wearing one of her many Tutus. I don’t know where she […]
