A few years ago, I had no idea how to use Skype or why I would want to learn. My husband swore by it, but as a mother of then very young children, it simply sounded like something that would take more of my non-existent time. How wrong I was! CandyMan was finally able to…
Some Mothers – A Mother’s Day Poem
My husband wrote this “poem” last night as he prepared to speak at church on Mother’s Day. He was surprised that so many women approached him and said that his poem really touched them. I was not so surprised. I think each of us can find ourselves in this list. I think it’s particularly interesting…

Go From Drab to Fab with Allegra #ClearBeauty
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love the Spring. I love the regrowth of flowers and grass and trees. I love the fresh air coming in through my windows and the warmth and sun before the Summer humidity hits. But I do not love the allergies that come with Spring. For…
First Impressions – Interesting Study Results
“Whether we like it or not, we are often judged by our appearance.” (Dr. Michelle Callahan) I consider myself an open, welcoming person. I am able to quickly get past a person’s appearance and enjoy them (I hate to even use the word “judge”) for the person that they are rather than what they look…

My BFF is teaching horse back riding lessons at a local farm, and her kids were in a horse show this weekend. I took my two youngest kids to watch the horses and enjoy the beautiful Spring weather and country surroundings. It was a nearly perfect day (don’t get me started on AJ’s incessant whining…
What Makes a Perfect Mother’s Day Gift?
Mother’s Day is coming in just a few days, and this year my husband has even more pressure to make the day special as he’ll be spending the day with TWO of the mothers in his life: me, the mother of his children, and his own mother. I think I’ve talked about the fact that…

What’s in Your Gym Bag? It’s Time to Sport Some Color.
As a mother of kids who have been on soccer, flag football, and swim/dive teams in just this past year, I know injuries. Luckily, we’ve been pretty fortunate and haven’t had too many serious injuries. Just lots of bumps, bruises, and other pains. But mostly, happy faces, tired bodies, and plenty of bandages. This year,…
10 Reasons I Wish I Lived Close to Family
When we graduated from college and made the trek across the country to settle on the East Coast, we left all of my extended family back in the West.
