Quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep….
Today, I won’t be blogging, I won’t be cleaning, I won’t be doing anything, except spending time with my kids. This poem explains it all. Hope you have a great day “rocking your babies.” Song For a Fith Child, by Ruth Hamilton. 1958 Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth empty the dustpan, poison […]
Essence of Now: Playtime
This week we ran in a 5k with good friends (well, I ran behind the good friends. 🙂 )…. We didn’t worry about messes, instead we built train tracks…. We decided that we needed a tent & it became our “book nook.” We did story time, we went on a “bear hunt”, & we even […]
Internet: The worst technological invention ever
I was browsing through Kludgy Mom’s idea bank tonight & came across one that says to write about what you think is the worst technological invention ever. Ironically, I would say it’s the internet. The internet is the place where pregnant women start Googling the signs of miscarriage and convince themselves that they’ve had one […]
Is staying home the right choice?
A directĂ‚Â consequenceĂ‚Â of major life changes, the good ones and the bad ones, is how much I over analyze everything. It’s exhausting to be quite frank. I’ve had two major changes this year, one is a beautiful new daughter. The other was the loss of my grandmother.Ă‚Â Ă‚Â At her funeral, I was able to get up and […]
Adventure: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
I’ve been thinking a lot about the adventures life sends us in our lifetimes. Some are adventures we choose, some we are forced into. But, adventures change us & mold us, make us into better people. We are never the same after an adventure. I have a cousin, Jessica, who is living in Lima, Peru […]
Speaking at Grandma’s Funeral
A week ago today, my grandmother, one of the most amazing women I’ll ever know, passed away. She had 4 children, 17 grandchildren, & 15 great-grandchildren, & more loved ones than you can count. She was so special & we are all so sad to not have her here with us anymore. I spent some […]

Getting to Know Me
I was going to do a post identical to this one & tonight, I just happened to be reading Theta Mom & decided I liked her questions better than the ones I was going to use. Getting to Know Me 1. Name someone with the same birthday as you. Jake GyllenhaalĂ‚Â 2. What has been […]
Finding a Healthy Technology Balance for Our Kids
We live in a technological age where we have smartphones where we can’t go five minutes without checking Twitter, Facebook, email, or Words with Friends, and the list goes on. I know I only have a 2 year old & one on the way, but Lboy is getting to the stage where he wants to […]
