Changes

Good morning, friends. You may have noticed that we’ve redecorated a bit. It’s progress, people. Albeit, one that will be taking some more work, but things are definitely moving. Finally. Have you ever heard the age-old adage, “The cobbler’s children have no shoes?” I can certainly relate with this bit of wisdom. I have been […]

“Hit the road, Jack” Pioneer Woman or Bust!

by 10 Comments

Roadtrip! As you are reading this I am currently on my way to meet the infamous Pioneer Woman, a.k.a. Ree Drummond! My sister Brandy, girlfriend Val, and I are heading up north to have our cookbooks signed by the woman my husband has dubbed “the best author in the entireworld.” I am so excited to […]

A Message From Heaven

Have you ever noticed that if you listen hard enough the answers we are seeking are out there? Sure, they come in various forms. Sometimes they’re obvious and often they’re not so obvious but they are there all the same. On my journey towards a healthier self I’ve realized that I’ve got plenty of questions. […]

I’m Slowing Down a Bit

by 14 Comments

I’ve been blogging since July of 2009 and have covered an array of topics. When I began this journey I had thoughts pouring out of my overwrought mind. Every situation afforded a blogging opportunity and I ran with it. I felt inspired by my life, obligated to release the floodgates of thoughts building up in […]

The Golden Rule…or something like it.

by 19 Comments

Sometimes, I absolutely amaze myself. Just whenI think I might possibly be getting most things right in this parenting business I realize I couldn’t be any more wrong. I try so hard at being a parent with forethought…a parent who not only considers the current consequences of both my ownand my children’s actions but also […]

Let’s *Not* Talk About Sex

by 26 Comments

Jack loves music. At any given point in the day, the spunky three year-old is humming, dancing, singing or tapping his fingers and/or toes to the rolodex of melodies running amok in his mind. To watch the child is to witness first-hand the saying “mile-a-minute” because that is the speed at which his brain is […]

A Slightly Skewed Reality

by 28 Comments

My hubby, Jer, and I had an interesting conversation this morning. He was attempting to access the necessary’mental space’ to begin working and I was procrastinating emptying the dishwasher because I hate that particular chore. Jer and I have really mastered the art of postponement, a skillset we’re not all that certain we should be […]

Our Tooth Fairy Sucks

by 16 Comments

I have a bit of a bone to pick. There’s a very popular someone highly admired by another certain someone in this house that is not living up to their commitments. Strike that. Their one commitment. Their one and only job they are tasked to do. We have got to have the flakiest Tooth Fairy […]

Times They Are a’ Changing

by 11 Comments

Many things change as we age. Our hair gets slightly thinner, our skin getsslightly slacker, our faces get slightly wrinklier and our minds getslightly more confused. These are all things I’ve already come to terms with and am ready to accept. But what happened this weekend is unacceptable and I am unsure how to proceed […]

Can’t Make It One More Step…

by 14 Comments

We had an exhausting but wonderful weekend. God granted us some beautiful weather and the kids took full advantage of sunshine and warmer temperatures. Avery and Jack, both, spent the entire day on Saturday playing sidewalk chalk, swinging from the tree in the front yard, riding bikes, scooters and harassing neighbors. It was truly blissful. […]
