Here We Go Again
The Universe has spoken. Apparently it was tired of my fertility flip-flopping and made the decision for me. Yes, I am pregnant with baby #3. And it just so happens that I got rid of most of my baby stuff just last month. Fortunately, I have plenty of fertile friends and family members who are […]
I Have A Dream…
That more than twenty people will comment on this and all my blogs.
That I have a personal landscaper to take away all of my wrong decisions and the bug bites I obtain when making them.
That I am Samantha on Bewitched and can wiggle my nose and turn things around instantaneously.
That flies talk to each […]The Dirty Truth
The dirty truth is that my life is filled with poop. Dog poop, cat poop, boy poop, and baby girl poop. It’s an awful word; one that I never thought would be a main part of my vocab, let alone clean up 50 times a day. Nevertheless, somehow it has entrenched my life. So much […]
The Upside of Mishap
Late last week I decided to take my sons swimming at my sister’s house. But before we could leave, my boys wanted to swing for a few minutes on our backyard swing set. Since they are getting older and bolder, they wanted me to push them a little higher than usual. Against my better judgment, […]
Miniature Masseurs
I come from a back-rub loving family. When I was young I remember my mom constantly hounding me or one of my four other siblings to rub her back. Sometimes we’d happily oblige. Other times we’d pretend we didn’t hear her and hope she’d move on to someone else. And even other times, we’d work […]
A Little Bit of Peace
One of the things that I am seeking this year in my life is… Peace. I’m not talking about peace on earth, peace to my fellow man, or peace - love - & - happiness. Although, those are certainly worthwhile things to strive for, I’m specifically talking about a little bit of peace in my […]
Welcome Me To The 21st Century
I can’t believe it. I have an iPod. Me, with an iPod. I may be late to the party, but I am sure happy to have been invited. Ever since I got a pair of parachute pants in junior high on the tail end of them going out of style, I’ve been late with the […]
Blowin in the Wind
Because we have never taken a real family photo since the birth of our two children, my husband and I thought it would be fun to take a beach family photo while we were on vacation visiting my brother who lives on the East Coast. It was my husband and brother’s idea for all of […]
Giving Thanks
It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with my third child, but it wasn’t yesterday. In fact, it has been a little over three weeks ago that I gave birth to Lilah Frances. My c-section recovery is going slower than I would like, but the boys, baby girl, and I are finally starting to […]
Road Trip Pros
We just returned from a week long vacation that began with a 15 hour road trip. I can’t tell you how nervous I was to be taking a 6 & 3-year-old on that long of a drive. Dread doesn’t even come close to describing the feeling I had before this trip. It didn’t help that […]
