I was so scared when….
When I was 6 years old, my family lived right across the street from an elementary school. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time walking over there (all of 10 ft) to the playground on a daily basis. One weekend I went over there as usual (I’m assuming it was a weekend because […]

Someday…
Someday, I’m going to travel to Italy & celebrate mass in Vatican City. And I’m going to stand there and think, “My God, this is Amazing.” St. Peters Basilica Someday, I’m going to go to a cafe right next to the Eiffel Tower. And I’m going to sit there & think, “My God, this is […]
What Blogging Can do for a Mom
I read on a blog where someone wrote “I wish I had a kid so that I could sit on my butt watching cartoons & write a blog.” No lies. I started thinking that if she and other people think that moms who blog sit around with their computers then they really don’t understand. It […]

MTV’s 16 & Pregnant
I pretty much have outgrown MTV. I haven’t watched “Real World” or any of the challenge shows IN YEARS! I can’t relate or identify with any of their stuff, I’ve moved on to adult things (YIKES! Am I an adult?!) So, I have no idea how I started watching the first season of MTV’S 16 & […]
A Different Me
**Update** I would like to clarify something: I would never trade being Lboy’s mom for a trip to Guatemala! This was a brief thought that ran through my head this week while I was thinking about all the reasons I chose not to go. I was only commenting on how we as individuals pre-parenthood change […]
I’m Afraid I’ll Forget
Diane Leonard While we were doing our bedtime routine with Lboy tonight I was struck with such an overwhelming sense of happiness. And then I was struck with a gripping fear of forgetfulness. The fear of not wanting to ever forget that particular moment. Lboy had crawled up into Todd’s lap, handed him his favorite book, […]
