Down the street my little bear cub rode on the pretty, pink and purple Barbie bike with it’s matching girly training wheels. It should have been ever so cute. But it wasn’t. The bear cub on the bike wasn’t my little, pigtailed, feminine three-year-old, but instead her tall-for-his-age seven-year-old brother. His knees came up aboveContinue reading “Bear Cub on a Barbie Bike”

What Time Is It?
My education formally stopped with my college bachelor’s degree. However, since becoming a parent I feel as if I should be receiving continuing eduction credits. I’m earning a PhD in L.I.F.E.

Do you remember those commercials several years ago that showed two images and claimed: “This is your brain…” and, “This is your brain on drugs?” Well, I think maybe we could draw a similar comparison in another category called: “This is your brain…” and, “This is your brain now that you have a seriously illContinue reading “Parental Brain Delay”
Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
I stood frozen, unblinking and holding my breath. I felt anxious, unsettled and nervous. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. …and it did.

23 years ago today my Mom, Mary Miller, died suddenly of a heart arrhythmia. She was 34 years old. This Friday is my birthday. I will be turning 34. I’m going to be very honest here and admit that I’m struggling with turning 34. It has nothing to do with aging and I’m not oneContinue reading “34.”
Starter House.
It was just another moving Monday. That was our move day. Now it’s all done day. Just another moving Monday… We have successfully changed our home address.

Extreme Makeover: Dollhouse Edition
I think Ty Pennington would be proud. You know, the host of the show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Though the show is off of the air now, Ty and his team spent several years knocking down old homes and replacing them with beautiful new ones. The show is filled with celebrity appearances, as well asContinue reading “Extreme Makeover: Dollhouse Edition”
Now I’ve done it!
I’ve finally done it! I am starting a family blog. I have considered doing this for quite some time but haven’t pulled the trigger.
