LIFE’S SPECIAL MOMENTS: A couple of years ago, a dear friend of mine lost her daughter to a brain tumor. Amazing Grace was just 10 years old when she passed away. It’s pretty unimaginable what my friend has gone through losing her daughter. I’m not sure a mother can ever completely recover. My friend and…

“OMG, That’s Like So Last Year!”
MOMENTS THAT MAKE ME LAUGH My kids and I were driving to visit family this weekend when I saw a sign that said “Giant Tag Sale Today”. I love a good tag sale. Whatever you call it… garage sale, yard sale, lawn sale, estate sale (I know, those are slightly creepy), rummage sale, moving sale,…
Recovering From A Day Of Daddy Being In Charge
The day after Mother’s Day is sort of like New Year’s Day in my house. It’s a day to recover. Why? Daddy was in charge for the day. All in all, I had a fabulous Mother’s Day. I am extremely grateful I was able to sleep in, and thanks to this “Do Not Disturb” sign, no…
Top 5 Ways To Help Mom Celebrate Mother’s Day
1). Let Her Sleep. 2). Let Her Sleep. 3). Let Her Sleep. 4). Let Her Sleep More. 5). Give Her Wine. Just kidding! Well, half kidding. Every mom I know, myself included, can use more sleep. The moment I gave birth, my quantity and quality of sleep went right out the window, (along with…

Doggie Moments: Our Adventures Welcoming a Pup Named Sadie
I love my dogs. I have three. Some days, when they all behave, I love them a lot. And some days, when they cause more trouble than an entire pre-school class combined, well… alright, they drive me crazy, but I still love them. Because as every dog mommy knows, life with a dog is an…
Things Kids Love to Say Over and Over (and Over and Over Again)
Kids are creatures of habit. I am sure there are many reasons behind the psychology of why they repeat the same things over and over, but it can be exhausting for parents. Some days, I feel like my life is the movie Groundhog Day (I know you remember it, with Bill Murray, where the day…
Why Friends Are Better Than A Big Jug of Wine
Friends are simply the best. When I was young, I was lucky enough to find an amazing group of girlfriends. Eight of us bonded many years ago. It astonishes me everyday that we are all still the best of friends (40 years later for some of us). We have stuck together since we were young…

I’ve gathered some of my favorite photos of my children asleep in funny spots. Yes, I take pictures! Usually the hubby and I have a good…
