Back when I was in high school my Mom decided that we were going to try and eat dinner as a family. Not long after we realized that dinner conversation tended towards the negative. At some point she decided that she’d had enough and “best part of the day” was born. We do it atContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 10: Best Part of the Day”

Self Quarantine Day 8: Woooh Buddy!
Alright so today is a big anniversary date in our family. It’s a bitter sweet and emotional day for me. Today makes two years since we brought The Conqueror home from the NICU but it also makes two years since my Pop left this world behind. Pop was a great man and we all missContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 8: Woooh Buddy!”
Self Quarantine Day 4: Venturing Out
We’ve all gotten very emotional. The reality of the situation is really sinking in and this extrovert is missing interacting with adults. The Hubs is here and wonderful but he’s still working (thank God) so it’s mostly me and the twins with the exception of work calls. The Twins are tired of each other. WeContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 4: Venturing Out”
Self Quarantine Log Day 3: Veggie Fatigue, Hell Cats, and Important Calls

Happy Birthday
Be still my heart. I blinked. I swear all I did was blink for just one second and there you were. Big girls. Two short years ago I was on my way home from the hospital with a prescription for bed rest. I was so scared. Your Daddy was too. We were scared for yourContinue reading “Happy Birthday”
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.
Where You Go, I Go
My brother and I are 7 years apart but he’s one of my best friends. After all these years I can still remember pacing the the waiting room of the hospital dying to go see my new baby brother. He was my own real life baby doll. I have always been happy that God gaveContinue reading “Where You Go, I Go”
