Here We Go, 2016.

I have some goals for 2016, and while some of them aren’t earth-shattering, work every day towards them or it won’t happen goals, I always think it helps me to write them down. One, for accountability…I don’t like letting people down (though obviously I do, sometimes), and two, so I […]

It’s Been Nine Years

I see glimpses of him in his kids, all the time. Both have become smart, head-in-the-clouds artists, creative and (mostly) thoughtful.

Nine years ago today, I was leaving the hospital for the last time, crying as my mom drove the two of us home and telling her that I was pregnant […]

The First of November

Eight years ago, I was sure I’d be raising two kids on my own. I’d found love once and had it taken away; that had to be it for me.

Seven years ago, we stood at the end of the outdoor garden of the Artisan Hotel and vowed to love […]

Asking, Answering, Singing, Eating, WHEW.

This fun weekly link up is hosted by Penny of The Real Housewife Of Caroline Country and Amber from Bold Fab Mom. For Ask Away Friday, bloggers pair up, swap 10 questions, and answer them on their blogs. It’s such a great way to get to know someone better!

This week, I’m swapping questions and […]

Love and Sunshine #iPPP

In case you weren’t aware, Valentine’s Day is Friday. So, in honor of that, I thought I’d share how I show my love.

1. Superhero surgery.

2. Hugs and kisses before bed.

3. Love notes […]

So, on January 27th, 2010, I published my very first blog post. Back then I had a blogspot.com address and had no idea what I was doing. Sometimes I still don’t feel like I know what I’m doing, but I’ve gotten a little better at this blogging thing (maybe?).

A lot […]

How DID We Meet?

We have been really busy crossing items off our Summer Bucket List the past week or so (that I’ll be telling you all about!). I encourage you to go ahead and sign your family up…I’m so excited that we have a list of things that we want to do this […]

Great Expectations: Rach of Life Ever Since

Even though Rach recently changed the name of her blog to Life Ever Since, I still think of her as “Donut’s Mama”. That first twitter-er that you meet just kind of sticks, you know? The little diva that she writes about, her “Donut”, is freshly birthday-ed (meaning, of course, that she just turned ONE).  Her […]

Catching Up?

I know….I have been a total slacker on the blog-front lately. Between moving, sample sales, a trip to Independence, potty training and general summer activities, I haven’t had the time or energy to update this darn thing! I’ve been eager to, though, and told myself that I WOULD post tonight. […]
