First, let me say HAPPY FATHER’S DAY this Sunday to all the dads in my life … but especially this one, MY Daddy. Dads make me smile. I have been organizing pictures this week and burst out laughing when I came across the sequence below. I often have duplicates and sequences because like many parents,… Read More Man help
I’m back from a very short, but well-deserved run-away with my husband! Did you miss me? Did you even notice I was gone? I did! I always get that nagging pang of guilt when it’s Wednesday and I haven’t written–even when I’m lying on the beach! Life has been … well … hectic, to say… Read More Winds of Change
So … It’s official. I’m no longer a preschool mom. This little guy is my youngest. And he just had his last day of preschool. Ever.

The other day, while helping me with the dishes, my 3-year-old announced: “Hey mom! Look, my finger is taking a shower!” It’s the little things.

Mom-Mommy-Mamamamama-Mommmmy!” Eyelids … come on eyelids… Read More One day

Flashback to … July 14, 2013 Yes, it’s true. As you are reading this, chances are I am lying in the sun on a tropical island with the man of my dreams. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Believe me, I am the one pinching myself! A hundred times … a thousand times,… Read More I married him
Wahoo! It’s the first day of spring. I even managed to pull off the egg-on-its-end stunt. My kids were so impressed. 🙂
See that handsome guy? That’s my man. Christian. I love him. Today is his birthday. And as much as I’d like to spend time writing a glowing tribute to him … I’m gonna go hang out with him instead. Can you blame me? See you tomorrow! (Thanks for lending us the Harley, Mom & Dad!… Read More My man
