A while ago my Mom gave me some old toys out of “my” closet – you know the one that is in her house that is part of the room I grew up in until I was 18… yeah that closet. The box she gave me while threatening to toss it included my little kitchen…
Happy 5th to my 2nd!
I found out I was pregnant with Little G while we were on vacation in Florida in early September of 2006. Tim says he knew I was pregnant a few weeks earlier when we went to see my nephew who was born very premature. I was acting a tad erratic (a.k.a b!tchy) and emotional. Don’t…
Leaving a Legacy
I hate that my memory fades so fast. It does you know. It truly does. Tim will bring up something and start rattling off the details and I’ll think to myself and even say, “I don’t remember that.” (trust me, he’s nodding along if he’s reading this…) I’m not sure what is taking up the…
At 2:47 p.m. he’ll be 8
Remember those commercials from a couple of years ago that said at the end, “A baby changes everything“? There is so very much truth to that statement. My life was forever changed the minute my Benjamin was born. just a few days old And now that he is eight years old I am getting to…
Thank goodness I have LOTS of photos…
She’s growing up. Already. Yeah I know, she’s only a little over two (2 years and 3.8 months to be exact) but when she’s your last? You kinda wish she could be a baby forever. Maybe this is why I have yet to give potty training a real “go” or I am hesitant to completely pull the…

Remembering Halloween
Sometimes the air was cool and smelled of autumn leaves and chimney smoke. But many times it was still warm and humid with sweat dripping down my back, causing my costume to stick to my salty skin. It did not matter though, I made the laps around the blocks, pretending to be whichever persona my…
Do You Have a Favorite?
I was watching a daytime talk show the other day (this rarely happens, by the way…) and Kelly Ripa and her husband were on, talking about their kids and life, etc. At one point Rachel Ray asked them if they have a favorite child and they said yes but they would never tell who. But…
We just went in to pick up a few things…
We only went in to pick up a few things. Some new sheets since my daughter, Brenda just moved in with me, and a few cans of Dinty Moore. But as usual, things got a bit out of control. It’s just such a good store and I kept finding so many things I could use…
He’s Home!
I sit Indian style on the green shag carpet in my bedroom, choosing a pair of shoes for my only brunette Barbie, Samantha. She is secretly my favorite. I even washed her hair the other night with my Mom’s Prell. I hear the familiar voice of Tom Brokaw cascading down the hallway but I cannot…
