I’ll never forget the first time we drove by this shelf on the side of the road. I yelled at my husband…. Did you see that?… turn around…. That’s the perfect shelf for that weird spot on the wall… turn around… we’re getting it. He was mortified. First he said no. He didn’t want people […]
I was on the phone with a business acquaintance turned friend discussing all of the changes I’ve encountered in life recently. I’ve been pretty forthright about getting laid off, losing my best friend, and being incredibly lost to this new life. I’d always been defined by what I did. I’ve always worked in an industry […]
Sorry! I’m going to start this blog post! Sorry! Annoying, right? The other day I sent a very bold email to an old high school classmate. He’s working on a new project and my skills are a fit for his project. We haven’t spoken since our 10 year high school reunion. It was risky. But […]
If you’re like me you’re always looking for cheap tricks for organizing your kitchen. Does this picture drive anyone else totally crazy? Can anyone tell me WHY we have 3 bags of old bread with only the heels in them? Or why in the world are we keeping the bag of tortilla crumbs? I couldn’t stand […]
To My Guy Best Friend’s New Girlfriend, I’ve actually never been given the opportunity to meet you. But if I had been, I would have said these things. We’ve waited a long time for you. Over the last few years I’ve hoped and prayed for my friend to meet someone who cared for him. I […]

We’re rounding out our first year of homeschooling. The end of the year is coming! I feel it. We’ve managed to make it through the school year fairly unscathed. But it’s never ceases to amaze me the stories I hear from homeschooling families. I know homeschooling is different. I also know lots of Mom’s can’t […]
Until recently I’ve always worked. Being a working mom meant that I had very little time to engage in the Mom Club. Of course there were times I couldn’t avoid it… the bus stop, after school events, extra-curricular activities, church groups, or even sitting in the play are of the mall. It happens… the mom […]
No one is new to the phrase Men are from Mars and Women are From Venus. This is especially true when it comes to those times of the year when it’s time to recognize your wife for being an amazeballs Mom. The thing is… we women are shady little creatures. We are known for […]
I flippin’ hate bedtime. With a fiery passion! It’s the end of the day. I’ve finally made it. The dinner has been devoured. The homework might be done. The van has stopped rolling. The children are done with whatever thing they had to do for the day. The bra is off and the home […]
