I brush my hair in front of the mirror that I have used for almost eight years. The counter below is probably coated in a few layers of hairspray and has always been too low for my liking, even though I am short. This mirror has seen me postpartum and post cry. I have taken both mental…
What’s in a Name?
I rarely go to Starbucks. If I do it’s usually while at an airport and traveling. But sometimes I get a hankering… The other day I decided to get an afternoon latte because that extra push later in the day sounded good to me. I stood behind another woman as she ordered and even though I didn’t…
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…
Perspective
Going through difficult times in our lives make us want curl up in a ball and stay in bed. But that’s not my style for too long. I do it for a bit and then I get up. Because what other choice do I have? Keep going or not, right? I took a little trip…
Moody Gardens Adventures!
This year for Spring Break we decided to head to Galveston, TX for a few days. We had never been before and I had heard good things about some of the attractions and that there is quite a bit to do with kids. Since it’s only about a 4 hour drive and there’s a beach,…
Marvel Universe LIVE!
I have talked about how my kids are fun to be around lately. I am not sure I have mentioned what great travelers they are. I know it’s “easier” these days to travel with kids since we have a lot of mobile things for them to do in vehicles and on airplanes but I honestly…
Down on the Horse Farm
I mentioned in K’s birthday post that she likes horses. Although, “like” might be a bit of an understatement. “Obsessed with” is probably more accurate. I am so glad that we found the perfect spot for her party this past Sunday and I am even more thankful that the weather was absolutely perfect! We were…
How Could You Be So Harsh?
The other day I went to Target to pick up a few a lot of things and I was alone (I KNOW!!) since my babysitter was hanging with the kiddos. You know how it is when you go shopping alone (if you’re a parent), you’re just SO much more relaxed when the only person you have…
Market-ing in Humidity
I don’t like to lie. I’ve done it, I ain’t no saint. But the truth always comes out so why lie? At least this is what I say. So I’m not going to sugar coat these photos from our little jaunt to our local farmer’s market last weekend. There are some cute ones and…
Some thoughts, some pictures
The other day I walked into the dance studio to deliver K to her class and on the long bench before me sat several mothers I did not recognize. But then I DID recognize them. They were mothers of little ones. You know, new-ish moms with kids younger than school age. Each one sat with…
