I’m a little late to the game, but my friend Sarah over at Notice the Dirt (we’ve actually never met, but she lives in the area and we go to the same church…until she moves t...
For each of my children, as well as my niece, the summer after the age of 1 was the summer of the fear of sand. They didn’t want to step on it, have it anywhere on them, sit in it, even look at...
Tomorrow, we are off to the cottage for Memorial Day Weekend! Even though there are 2 weeks of school left and I’m not at all ready for bikini weather, I’m really looking forward to a rel...
Well. I haven’t updated about my progress with PMDD lately (or really at all) because everything has been going pretty well. I started taking an anti-depressant back in late October/early Novem...
Today, we celebrate Mothers. It doesn’t matter whether you work full time, stay home, work from home, foster, or are an empty nester. It doesn’t matter if you have one child or twenty. It...
{not my kid} Sorry to get all mom-blog on here but I just had to share (and hopefully not curse) the news that our 3 year old is potty trained!! It seemed like forever of asking if he wanted to try t...
There was a time in my life where this word mostly referred to the value of a home. This week, it refers to Teacher Appreciation Week! Though quite skeptical about sending my first baby off to public...
Yep, that’s what this weekend is full of! Today, B and I embarked on a journey we have never experienced before in our 9 years of marriage…we bought our first appliance together! Crazy, i...
{img} Not even half of the day is over and I’ve had a hell of a morning so far. Seriously. Sometimes I just want to laugh when people see me out somewhere with all of the kids and ask/say ̶...
I am going through that lovely part of the month where I feel like nobody likes me and everyone is judging me. I feel like the majority of the people I know all end up at events or birthday parties t...
I just got back from a drive. Driving is one of my absolute favorite things to do when I need to clear my mind (whether angry or not) and de-stress, or just get some quick alone time with God. I thin...
I finally did it. After several years on Facebook, I de-activated my account yesterday. I must admit, it felt good! While I love all of the people I have re-connected with from school, and the new fr...
Hi. Anyone still there? I tend to go through stages where there is just too much or just not enough to write on this teeny little blog. Life is just too busy sometimes to take the time to discipline ...
There has been a post sitting in my drafts for a very long time. I’ve gone back and back to it and tried to add to it, delete from it, find quotes to put in it, etc. Today, I finally ready a po...
I have a secret. People’s words can really hurt me sometimes. Oh? You too? Maybe it’s not such a secret then? Maybe instead, it’s something a lot of women struggle with? If you foll...
My lack of blogging lately has stemmed from a crazy, 2nd Trimester-like (no, I’m not pregnant) burst of energy that has led to 3 rooms being painted, a headboard and matching ottoman being made...
I knew it was going to happen eventually. At least once a year, I get into a “redo-the-entire-house&# 8221; mode or a “finally-finish-projects -around-the-house” mode. Last year, I st...
I don’t normally put parenting advice out there for all to read, mostly for the fear of someone disagreeing, leaving me then feeling dumb or like a jerk. Maybe also because I just don...
Well, it’s here. 2012. Even better? — NOT 2011 anymore. I’ve let go of the past year, which did have its good times and it is now time to move onto this year. I’d be lying if ...
Merry Christmas everyone! I’m REALLY looking forward to spending this week with my family at home and will be back in January, hopefully on a more regular basis. Here’s hoping you all hav...
Yep. I’m still alive. It’s 2 days until Christmas and I’ve been coming to my blog every day since the last time I wrote with nothing really to say. I guess I was kind of hoping this...
I’m not sure that life will ever be what it was just 6 weeks ago. I now have 1 grandparent left — my 87 year old WWII Veteran Grandfather who has seen so much hurt and death in his life t...
Being one that likes to finish things but often has difficulty, I’m back to finish the 31 Day Challenge. In my Day 30 post (below this one), I mentioned that there were some things I was dealin...
Just wanted to pop in real quick before I head over to spend the day with my grandparents and family. Had a good day of visiting with them yesterday and a bittersweet dinner with my Dad. I wish I was...
Good morning and Happy Saturday!! After a fairly uneventful 5 hours in the car, I made it to my sister’s house and got a great night’s sleep. I rarely get to travel alone, and quit...
I have a confession. I’m cheating a bit this morning. I’m actually sitting in downtown Raleigh at a coffee shop I’ve been wanting to try for a long time, waiting to meet a fr...
I’d say good morning, but I woke up at 4-something with a terrible headache. I finally gave in and came downstairs to get some medicine, which I now regret taking without having eaten so...
Is today Wednesday? I’ve already had to ask myself that a few times and it’s barely 7am. It sort of feels like the weekend because my husband was home yesterday to take our daughte...
Coffee is brewing as I type because I was so tired last night I went up to bed at 9:30 and forgot to set the timer, so I’m going to get right to it while I anxiously await the beeping th...
Can’t believe it’s the last week of this lovely challenge! Next Monday will be my last “31 Fall Mornings” post, but I’m certain it will not be my last post of thi...
