On Saturday, I celebrated my 37th birthday. I still feel rather young, though every time I look in the mirror I realize that I’m not looking quite as young as I once did… I graduated from high school nearly 20 years ago. In another 6 months, I will have been married for 17 years. And…

A Week in My Life – Day 6 – My Birthday!
Yesterday I turned 37. Who would have known that 37 would be my best birthday in years? It started out like just about any other Saturday: soccer, soccer, and a little bit of flag football thrown in there. My only complaint about the team sports this week was that I wasn’t able to sleep in…
A Week in My Life – Day 5 – Wii Party!
I made it through the week blogging about my daily activities with Adventuroo! Friday was an incredibly busy day, but since it is BOTH well after midnight AND my birthday, I am going to be quick with today’s recap. I spent the morning and early afternoon finishing up a HUGE project for work. I finished…
A Week in my Life: Day 4 (Plus PSF – GMYBS)
For those of you who are here for my weekly Photostory Friday and Give Me Your Best Shot, I have been playing along all week with Adventuroo’s Week in the Life series, and although today’s picture might not be my BEST, they certainly tell a story. This morning, I was back to my typical 5:00…
A Week in My Life: Day 3
I’ve been keeping track of my week, day by day, and participating in Adventuroo’s Week in the Life series. I’m afraid that Monday and Tuesday were more interesting, photo wise, although I took more photos today (473!!) than any other day this week. As soon as I got the kids to school this morning, I…
When Did You Find Out The Sex of Your Baby?
I remember clearly the day in 1996 when I took my very first pregnancy test. I had been married for 11 months, and my husband and I had decided to go off the pill just weeks before. I never expected to see that line, but it was clear: I was pregnant. I was thrilled and…
A Week in My Life: Day 2
I’m linking up again today with Adventuroo’s A Week in the Life series, taking a close-up look at everything I’m doing this week. My day started out early. I thought that sleepless nights with wakeful kids were something that I left behind years ago. Not so. Last night, AJ fell off my bed (yes, he…
The Season Has Begun – Wordless Wednesday
It’s Christmas card picture season! This little girl is just the first of many photo shoots I’ve got coming up. It’s my super-duper busy time of year! For more inspiring photos, check: 5 Minutes for Mom, High Impact Mom, The Bonafide Life, Shanamama, From Dates to Diapers, Not Your Mom Blog, The Divine Miss Mommy,…
A Week in My Life: Day 1
The other day, my friend Mel from Adventuroo invited me to participate in her Week in the Life blogging carnival. Although my life seems more chaotic than interesting these days, I thought I’d play along. MONDAY: Sleeping in: I slept in a blissful hour and a half longer than I usually do this morning….
What Do YOU Do With the Leftovers?
I like cooking dinner. I just hate planning it. And I am not a big fan of throwing something together at the last minute (those kind of meals are rarely very healthy and often not too tasty). As a mom to a big family, cooking dinner is a big part of my job…and dinners need…
