Honesty Is The Best Policy?

Sometimes we get take-out for dinner and find an empty park to eat at. It is a great way to get our little kiddos outside and run around a bit. (And I always have high hopes it will wear them out before bedtime.) On one of these fine evenings, in an effort to be good... Continue Reading →

Queen

I was working while my baby boy was playing with blocks. He excitedly brought the one pictured above over to me. "Mama, you!" he smiled and pointed at the picture. I couldn't help but laugh, "That's right baby, the Queen." I have taught him well. Don't tell his dad that he brought the block with... Continue Reading →

Together Even When Apart

I've never been much of a cook. I mean, I know how to read a recipe and put together a meal, it's just not something I love to do. The majority of my siblings are gourmet when it comes to the kitchen. For family dinners, I'm usually assigned chips or a salad. We had a... Continue Reading →

The Road of Life

I'm feeling nostalgic today. Ten years ago today, my husband asked me out on our very first date.

You always hear of those disasters that babies/toddler/young children and so forth cause. Yet, when you meet your... Continue Reading →

Mom Life

(Sometimes you have those days where everything comes together and the house is clean, productivity happens and the family is happy. Some days you feel like nothing was done. Most days is a mix somewhere in between.) Lil’Mister wakes up at 5am crying. It had been a hassle to get him to bed the night... Continue Reading →

The Fog

Earlier this month a bout of fog settled in our valley. The first day it arrived, it was a novelty. On the way to the store, I pulled out my phone at a stoplight to click a picture of the white nothingness that surrounded me. The next day as the newness of the fog wore... Continue Reading →
