I’m fairly confident that if you blindfolded me, put me in your car (preferably not the trunk) took me to a shopping mall that I’d been in at least one time, dropped me in the center of the mall and asked me to direct you to the food court, The Gap, or the nearest restroom,Continue reading “My Bermuda Triangle”

The Dash
April, 2016 This month I will receive my first paycheck in almost 12 years. I started working part-time as a grant writer for a non-profit (FCA.) I’m excited to be able to use writing to help raise money for a ministry that I care about, all while working mostly from home. The decision forContinue reading “The Dash”
What Terry Bradshaw Taught Me About Parenting
I’ve been a parent now for over eight years. I’m starting to catch on to how things work. My husband and I aren’t experts, by any stretch of the imagination, but we’ve done some things right. We’ve also made some mistakes and hopefully have learned from them as we’ve grown and tweaked our parenting style. Continue reading “What Terry Bradshaw Taught Me About Parenting”
Famous Wise Sayings (Mommy Style)
I have great and utter respect for Benjamin Franklin, Albert Eisenstein, and Thomas Jefferson. The guys who wrote the Chinese proverbs and whoever thinks up the sayings on fortune cookie papers aren’t bad either. Some people just say some smart stuff. Ya know? But today I’d like to keep things real. What if the famousContinue reading “Famous Wise Sayings (Mommy Style)”
Eggs Benedict Arnold
“Mooommmmm! Bubba is egging me!”, my four-year-old daughter yelled from the basement. Translated: “Mom! My brother is trying to instigate me to do something that will get me in trouble, or in other words, he’s egging me on!” Yes, it’s true. Our two older children are separated by a four year age gap and our eight-year-old son likesContinue reading “Eggs Benedict Arnold”
10 Things I Learned Over Christmas Break
10. Injuries are well worth the pain if they warrant a Barbie band-aid. 9. Flaming desserts are actually on fire and four-year-olds should be advised not to touch them until they are no longer on fire. (However, if injury ensues, see #10) 8. Santa really enjoys homemade chocolate chip cookies, especially since Mrs. Claus hasContinue reading “10 Things I Learned Over Christmas Break”
Big Words, Little People
Recently I’ve felt a sense of impending doom. This is based entirely on the fact that my four-year-old daughter learned the word, “ominous” from an educational children’s program, and she’s not afraid to use it. Karly now uses the word ominous as a descriptive word. A lot. Sometimes she uses the word in its properContinue reading “Big Words, Little People”
Paradise Found
I did not want to get out of bed this morning. Granted, this statement is true almost every morning. I am not a morning person and I truly enjoy sleeping. But this morning it was not the soft, warm pillow or my heavy eyelids that beckoned me to stay between the sheets. It was whatContinue reading “Paradise Found”
Life on Tape Delay
