What makes a meaningful moment? Is it something big and bold? Something that stands out? Is it the moment when life turns a corner and changes? Not for me. My most meaningful moments are often quiet. They are seemingly small and go unnoticed by everyone else. Meaningful moments may not be big and loud and…
New York City – The Reality {Photostory Friday-GMYBS}
OK, I’ve shown you the pretty pictures and shared tips on how to have a cheap day trip to New York City. And I’ve hinted to the fact that the trip was rather difficult. Today I am going to tell it like it is, nothing held back. Honestly, in the end I think we all…
New York City With Kids – Wordless Wednesday
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. As happy as everyone looks in all of these pictures from New York City and as wonderful as the pictures we captured are…don’t be fooled. Nine hours of sight-seeing is tough work. But I’ll have more details on that a little later… For now, the…
How to Visit New York City With Family On a Budget
This past Saturday, I used some free Amtrak tickets to take my family (yes, all 7 of us!) to New York City for the day. Because we are within 3 hours of the heart of New York City, I consider a trip to New York City a Staycation. I have traveled to New York City…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today I will stay inside my warm house and dream of chocolates. I am skipping my kids’ Valentine’s class parties for the first time since 2001. I am determined to kick this pneumonia, and I’m afraid it’s going to take a few more days resting at home before that happens. I am crushed that I…

I Used to Have a Beautiful Belly. Now I Have Beautiful Kids.
Reality after 5 kids… Yesterday I stumbled upon a post on Babble, written by my friend Casey Mullins (aka Moosh in Indy) on what postpartum bellies REALLY look like. The photos of other mothers inspired me, and although I am 6 1/2 YEARS postpartum my stomach still does, and always will, bear the scars of…
Birthday Boy – Wordless Wednesday #WW
Twizzler celebrated his 11th birthday on Monday. It’s unbelievable to me that he is so old. I’m guessing that the fact that my third child – and oldest BOY – is so close to middle school and (gasp!) puberty is a sure sign that I am indeed old, too. Since he wanted to be with…
Champions for Kids – Our #AbbottCFK Snack Pack
I recently wrote about Abbott Snack Packs – a project that I am involved in this month with Champions for Kids. Before I set about doing a SIMPLE service project with my kids, I shared these statistics: Fighting Childhood Hunger: More than 16 million children under the age of eighteen in the United States are…
Bertolli Meal Soups – A Fancy Dinner at Home in 30 Minutes
I go through waves. Sometimes I love to cook nice dinners (I really am a good cook, I promise). But other times (the last few months, especially) I don’t want to be bothered to spend two hours in the kitchen getting dinner ready. My biggest problem lately is my lack of planning. I hardly even…
