Julian turns 15 months!

Julian turns 15 months!

I’m not ashamed of gushing about my kids at all.  After all, they are my kids!  I just want to take a moment (since I rarely get these) to sit down and write a little about things that have been going on in our lives lately. For starters, I realized this past...

Ahhhhh

Our little family just had one of the best weekends EVER.  And you know why?  Because it wasn’t about anyone else but us.  How often do we do that?  Usually our weekends are packed with chores around the house, errands to run and the infamous birthday party to...

Heavy Heart

Man, I try so hard not to use this blog as a brain dump or venting session.  After all, I have my journal for that.  The problem is, I rarely have time to sit and write by hand in my journal, and sometimes, I think we need to let ourselves be more authentic. ...

Hot Mess

OK, I’m a hot mess today!  Why does this always happen after my family leaves from visiting?  We were just getting over being sick last week when they hinted to the idea that they might be coming in town.  The next thing I knew, I was receiving a text message at...

The Blahs

We’ve all heard of “The Blues”…but I would venture to say that “The Blahs” are perhaps a little worse.  The Blahs are ambiguous and meaningless.  There’s no reason to feel “blah”…and yet, I do. Here’s...

Blessed and Beaming

Call it more sleep…call it summertime…call it coming out of the fog…no matter what you call it, it’s a good thing!  Many of you who have followed my (very irregular) string of posts have probably noticed that I’ve been rather dismal over...

Happy 4th of July!

What a wonderful 4th of July we had this year!  There were no burn bans in effect.  We even bought some fireworks ourselves!  But, most importantly, we were able to give of our time and energy to invite friends over for lunch to BBQ and take food over to some...

Mommy Time

This morning I’m taking Mommy Time.  Not to go to the store.  Not to work out.  Not to run an errand.  Not to work.  I’m just chillin’ at a cafe and trying to relax a bit. It’s been a stressful week.  And, may I mention that I always hate...

Frazzled and Frayed

After another long interlude, I am back!  And I am oh so frazzled.  How does one get organized and stay organized?  I ask myself that every day!  How do YOU get organized and stay organized?  I’d like to know if someone out there manages it. I’ve always...

Happy Summer

Well, after another long hiatus, I am back in business and trying to get my life somewhat organized so I can start blogging (and hopefully doing other things I want to do) again. How are you?  I always feel like blogging is such a one-way street.  I’d love to...
