We see A LOT on the internet about the “Mommy Wars” and it just makes my heart sad to know that someone even coined that phrase. I don’t want to fight with any other mommies. I just want to be the best mommy I can be to my kids. And I’m guessing that’s what MOST…
It is the same every year…
The witch’s evil laugh echoes through our living room as I crouch closely next to my mother on the same couch cushion. I sit paralyzed, clinging to her arm, practically sitting on her leg. I can feel my heart beating faster, like it might race right out of my chest, anticipating their arrival on the…
just an ordinary day…
This morning I found four June bugs belly-up on the windowsill in the kitchen. It’s a long windowsill that sits below some of my favorite windows to look out. I had this silly thought that perhaps they were dying because June was almost over. Kind of sounds like something my 7-year old might come up with,…

My Three- The Beach Edition
We got home from our trip at a decent time today. We didn’t feel too haggard and my lunch “on the road” at Panera Bread (which this town does not have. hmph.) was quite tasty. Then we feasted on hot dogs (thank goodness we had SOMETHING in the fridge) and some of the sweetest corn…

And POOF! just like that, she’s a full-on toddler!!
After I got this video up and running The B Man watched it and said, “Mommy! It’s like Kay-Kay can read!! Did you buy her ‘Your Baby Can Read’?! That’s amazing!” Oh son, we are SO cutting down on how much time you spend watching the cartoon channel. Sorry. Anyway, here’s a cute video of…
Let’s Hear it for the Boys – i heart faces
Trains, “boy” hair cuts, a skinned knee and sweat socks. I’d say it doesn’t get much more boyish than this… I just love the way my boys are working on the train track together in this picture. I just love THEM.
The first time I unpacked a box…
I stand on the step facing the cavernous room full of boxes. Looking down I admire my swollen belly and gently place my hand there as the infant inside moves within me. I already know her name. In my heart we are already mother and daughter. My focus quickly shifts back to the towers of…
