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…
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…
The Joys of Getting Older
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…
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…

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….
Mornings – Photostory Friday and Give Me Your Best Shot
My mornings start at 5:00 am. My first alarm goes off and I check to make sure that my oldest daughter is awake and getting ready for her early morning seminary class before high school. I go back to sleep until 5:40 am, when I take up my position at the front window, watching for…
Postpartum Depression – My Story
Today, 5 Minutes for Mom and a handful of other blogs are posting about postpartum depression and a very important campaign to both raise awareness and funds for Postpartum Progress. Janice asked if I would share my story of Postpartum Depression on her post, and after writing it down – something that I had never…
Tales of the Snake Family and Kids Who Don’t Want to Clean
My 6 year old son is a story-teller. Here’s the 1st paragraph of his latest book: “Once upon a time there lived a snake family. And all they did was watch movies. And sit around. When their parents told them to clean they would not listen….” After some hysterical laughing, my husband and I looked…
First Homecoming – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’m not sure when my daughter got this old, but last Saturday KitKat went to her first Homecoming dance. Luckily, her first fancy school dance was an easy one on me….none of her friends were interested in going with dates, so a big group of girls went to the dance together. I was stunned when…
