Crazy Eyes never ceases to stir up the creativity and weirdness in our house. An offhand comment by her sparked a long, ridiculous family conversation about what superheroes we all are. I couldn’t have made this up if I tried. Overall I feel like we’re a pretty bad ass team guaranteed to strike fear intoContinue reading “Superhero Names”

6 Ways Toddlers Are Like Drunks
Raising young toddlers makes me feel bad for all of the people who had to take care of me when I was a stupid, drunk college student. Rest assured, Dear Friends, that it’s coming back to me two-fold. They are like belligerent little drunkards at all times. What do I mean? Here are some examples:Continue reading “6 Ways Toddlers Are Like Drunks”
Missed Exits
This weekend while we were headed out of town the Hubs and I switched roles. Usually he drives and I keep him awake by asking him stupid questions and reading fun facts off the internet. Our last trip involved a 45 minute long discussion/research session on the topic of Sloths. This time I agreed toContinue reading “Missed Exits”
Ghosts of Hobbies Past
When I was pregnant I called my Dad crying one night because I was so afraid that after I had the Twins I’d get lost in them and not be able to find myself. He told me I’d figure it out and that it would all be okay. I see now that he was rightContinue reading “Ghosts of Hobbies Past”

They comment on how cute or little they are. They say things like “better you than me!” Once a little boy told me I “mustContinue reading “Part of the Club”
Saturday Shocks
I’d put the girls down for a nap and was about to get into the tub when one of them really amped up the screaming. The Hubs asked me to go check on them before I got into the bath. His Daddy senses must have been tingling because when I went into the room IContinue reading “Saturday Shocks”
I Miss You
Today is not an anniversary or a special day to remember. Today is just a day… and I miss you. I miss you with a sadness that sometimes makes my bones hurt and my muscles ache. These are the days when ideas of heaven and an afterlife are not enough to ease the distance betweenContinue reading “I Miss You”
The Moms Who Made Me
I have been so incredibly blessed to have many strong women who’ve served as “Moms” in my life. A blanket shout out just doesn’t seem like enough. So here they are, the women who made me, me: 1) My Mom: This woman is and has always been my rock. At 18 she was more braveContinue reading “The Moms Who Made Me”
