My memory of the moment is both crystal clear and fuzzy at the same time. It’s hard to explain, but yet if you’ve ever been in shock, you’ll understand. My body felt numb and weak and apparently that was obvious to those around me because a nurse pushed a stool underneath my legs and helpedContinue reading “Daddy Loves You”

A Delicate Balancing Act
There has been something on my mind lately. I feel as if I’ve been performing a mental balance beam routine with my thoughts. My virtual ankles are starting to ache. I’m striving to find the rest that comes with steadiness and control, but it seems I continue to wobble, even if only in my mind’sContinue reading “A Delicate Balancing Act”
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. 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”
100% Polyester Love
Ten years ago this week I was a glowing bride-to-be. We were caught up in the hustle and bustle of preparing for our December 7th wedding. It was a whirlwind three-month engagement and I was head over heels with it all. I enjoyed just about every second of the planning and preparing. Our wedding, completeContinue reading “100% Polyester Love”
A Thanksgiving Dinner
As a guest blogger for Riley Hospital for Children, where our son received treatment for cancer as a small child, I’ve been asked to write about a variety of topics. Recently I was asked if I could write something for the hospital to post on Thanksgiving Day. I thought about it for awhile and thenContinue reading “A Thanksgiving Dinner”
In This Corner…
I am going to be very honest here. Not that I usually lie. But, I like to write about something after I’ve got it neatly figured out in my mind. I prefer to organize my thoughts and feelings in a nicely gift-wrapped package and then deliver them onto my blog’s doorstep for others to enjoy.Continue reading “In This Corner…”
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”
