I recall loving the ocean when I was little. Except for the salty taste on my lips after I went swimming. And all the sand in our car. Maybe I did not like it as much as I thought I did. I mean, I liked it, but I didn’t really appreciate it. My parents enjoyed going…
Beach Babes
Walking along the beach this morning my friends and I saw so many little sand dollars. I hope this is a good omen. We brought some upstairs to our friends, who did not go walking with us, so they could bring them to their kids. We also left some of them there on the sand, for…
Be Jealous
I’m going here this weekend so I am going to skip #NaBloPoMo for the weekend. It’s time to relax a little. Y’all can read the other stuff I have already written this month, while I am gone. I am sure you have some catching up to do… (I don’t even know who I…
Redefining at Mom 2.0
“I have what I call ‘moments of great gumption’”. – Meredith Sinclair “All I have to be is me.” – Allison Slater Tate “Allow your schedule to be altered.” – Danielle Walker “For tweets – it should be something you would say to your friend.” – Kj Dell’Antonia These are not my words. They are…
Ocean = Life
When we went to Moody Gardens (this is NOT an ad post, I already did that, I’m just telling a story…) we saw a documentary on the IMAX screen there about life at the very deepest depths of the ocean. It was done by Jacques Cousteau’s son and it was some of the…
Back at the Beach
My kids are spoiled. I don’t mean it like they are spoiled brats, I just mean that I had it a tad rougher when we visited the beach when I was a kid. Instead of just trekking it down the elevator and over the boardwalk to get to the beach, we had to drag our things…
Down by the sea…
I smile the second I see it. I walk up and hear the waves. The water, so beautiful, so strong. It doesn’t love me as much as I love it but that is okay. I want my kids to feel the way I feel every time I am near it. I want them to be…
Take The Long Way Home
My oldest kiddo went to sleep-away camp for the first time last week. He was dropped off by Tim while I was on my way home from BlogHer. That wasn’t a really fun feeling, by the way – your kid being dropped off to somewhere they have never been before whilst you get to miss…
Reality Bites
Do you remember that movie? It was a classic 90’s movie, complete with Winona Ryder. Also, it came out 20 years ago. Let the feeling-old feelings commence. Reality does kind of bite right now though, mostly because of this. And just a little because Tim and I recently returned to reality, after an amazing time…
Why I Hate Dog With a Blog & some beach photos…
*if you have a weak stomach beware of this post. But if you are a mother like me and have dealt with bodily fluids you will probably be fine to read it. BUT, there are some cool photos at the end so you can just check those out if you want, k? So I…
