image source “You’re pulling out the weeds, right Mommy?” he asked me. My son stood, kicking at the board that helps frame my little square foot garden.
“Yep! Gotta get them out of there, right?” I smiled up at him.
“Sure… ’cause otherwise, you know, they’d take all the good stuff [...] This week looks kind of crazy. There are some repeats going on and that doesn’t happen around here usually. I’m almost at the very end of my freezer stash, however, and this is just how it ended up. I’m happy to clear out and it has been a help to the budget to [...] Confession: I wouldn’t say I’ve fallen into the whole “young adult fiction” craze just yet. It’s not that I’m opposed to it. Nor do I fail to see the appeal. I guess I just haven’t jumped on board. (Also? I am utterly and completely uninterested in vampires or supernatural things, so that has [...] As most of you know, I’ve been going through some really tough stuff lately. While some people turn to self-help books, philosophical non-fiction, or religious memoirs at times like this, I? Turn to fun chick-lit. Maybe I’m an escapist by nature but, when it comes to my reading, when the going gets tough, [...] image source It has been a roller coaster ride here in our home. We were very surprised, but so happy, to learn, back on January 16th, that I was pregnant with our fourth baby. We told pretty much no one and it was such a fun, giddy little secret to share.

I have a sister… and we have been known to be weird! Of course, the book’s title was making a Shakespearean reference, not talking about how my sis and I like to order the item with the [...] My party planning generally goes something like this:
Start thinking of “theme” ideas in early November for my December and January babies. Scramble to organize holidays/gatherings/breaks/vacations/etc. Send invitations out– plenty early– and promptly start having heart palpitations as I realize there’s no backing out now and I really don’t know what the heck [...] If you’ve ever had a baby, you’ve most likely heard the old adage: Sleep begets sleep. And, it seems in most cases, it’s totally true. Babies who nap well seem to also sleep more soundly at night. Withholding naps in hopes that sheer exhaustion will cause a deep sleep? Rarely works. What you may never [...]
(This post was very hard for me to write… it required that I reach way back in my past to a very painful time. These are the sort of memories that aren’t fun to dredge up. But they’re real. And they’re part of who I am. I ask for your kindness as [...] |
