How is it possible that Thanksgiving is SO SOON? I have been hosting Thanksgiving dinner since we moved to our current house in 1998, and although it is a LOT of work to prepare a feast like we have every year, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times. Disclosure: Tara sent me her ebook…

National Hug-a-Blogger Day #hugablogger
I’ve always been a very private person. Strange, I know, considering the fact that I now share so much of my life online for the whole world to see. In school, I always had one or two close friends. I knew and was friendly with many people, but I only opened up with a select…
Planning the “Perfect” Delivery #aMillionMoms
Yesterday, I shared my second Million Moms post. It has been many years since I was in a hospital delivering a baby, but in writing this post this week, I think I finally found closure. And peace. Did your child’s birth go the way you hoped it would? The moment that I held my oldest…
DIY Phineas and Ferb Halloween Costumes
My kids are last-minute costume-pickers. They tend to change their minds on what they want to dress up as all October long. Luckily, the characters that two of my kids decided to be at the very last minute this Halloween turned out to be very easy (and cheap) for us to put together. DIY Phineas…

Ready for Halloween? We Aren’t.

But we are not ready for Halloween at all. Why? No costumes. I am have been a complete slacker in the…

Like Mother, Like Daughter – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
The other night, at dinner, Reese was trying to remember some lyrics. So she did what any 8 year old would do. She ran in the other room, grabbed the netbook, and googled her question. All while eating her dinner, of course. For more inspiring photos, check: 5 Minutes for Mom, High Impact Mom, The…
What Has Inspired You to Grow as a Person?
I was young when I got married. Young when I had my first baby. I don’t have any regrets about starting my family young. In fact, I would recommend it to others. But I will be the first to admit that I did have to put my own needs on the back burner for a…
