Super Daddy

Sunday night The Hubs took the big kids “camping.” I put camping in quotes because, while it was outside and in a tent, they weren’t REALLY camping. Admittedly, people claim to go “real” camping with fancier set ups than they had but there’s something about it being in the back yard that makes it notContinue reading “Super Daddy”

My Alma Mater

There seems to be a preconceived notion that says only the people who peaked in high school and the people who had miraculous physical/financial transformations should be excited about their high school reunions. I think that notion is BS. I am neither of these things. I left Redeptorist and did well in college. Then IContinue reading “My Alma Mater”

Cooking Crazy!

Sunday turned out to be a crazy cooking day for me. Here’s what I made.

Raising The Next Generation

Look around the world today and you’ll be greeted with stories of social injustice, anger, and confusion. It’s overwhelming and stressful to see. I say this, knowing that my stress isn’t even a fraction of what’s being experienced by the people truly living it. As a parent, you have to walk the line between protectingContinue reading “Raising The Next Generation”

Let’s! Get! Weird!

Life gets weird fast. Yesterday my daughter somehow managed to slam my nipple in her board book, I cleaned out our gutters while under a tornado watch, and my husband spewed muddy water into the kitchen while trying to fix our water pump. The day before that my daughters had to be bathed three timesContinue reading “Let’s! Get! Weird!”

The Little Bad Dog

I’ve written before about Luna, my Little Bad Dog. Luna was the very first part of my little family. I got her and the rest followed. Recently I told someone the story of how I brought her home and thought I’d share it with you. Before The Hubs and I met, I was in aContinue reading “The Little Bad Dog”

Sharing Hobbies with My Kids

Trying to share my newly revisited hobby with the kids turned out to be a learning opportunity for all of us.

Mom Bod

I’ve written before about my struggles with my body confidence since having the twins. It’s not something I really anticipated before having kids. I think I just blocked the thought of it out and hoped for the best. When I was younger I didn’t like my body. I worked hard to learn to love itContinue reading “Mom Bod”

Please Say Hi!

Hey Folks! So it’s been about 8 months since I started on my blogging journey. Since starting I’ve connected with many people via Facebook, Twitter, and other people’s blogs. It’s crazy to have people that I don’t know follow my stories but it’s also super cool. I saw a fellow blogger who goes by theContinue reading “Please Say Hi!”

My Empty Cup

This month has been insane. I haven’t slowed down enough to even think about writing more than once a week, if that. You know how they say “you can’t pour from an empty cup”? Well yesterday my cup ran dry. Back to back weeks of sickness raging through our house coupled with stress at workContinue reading “My Empty Cup”
