I’m going to admit something to you today….I don’t love sitting at kids’ sports games. Yes, I love being able to offer my kids opportunities and team sports are a fantastic way to teach kids cooperation, skills, and fitness. However…. I just don’t love the demand that team sports are on the family. I do…
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…
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…
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 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….
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…
