I do believe I need an intervention. I've started (yes, again….don't judge) the Couch25K program. I'm hoping that by the time The Color Run lands in Kansas City, I'll be more of a jogger than a wogger (you know…that oh-so-hot combination of waddling and jogging).  I keep trying to push aside those thoughts from [...]

I'll admit it….it's really pretty cool that someone nominated my blog again this year for the Top 25 Single Mom Blogs at Circle of Moms. I feel like I neglect this place far too much, especially when there are really cool things going on that deserve to be blogged about. BUT, I feel like maybe [...]

I'm thinking a lot about age these days; growing old, feeling old, acting old. Perhaps it was the heart attack my dad had, or my time with my grandma over the weekend, but it seems to be hitting closer to home than I'd like to admit. I realize that it's a blessing to grow old. [...]

I've been stuck lately. Consumed with the thought that nothing I have to share is original, much less inspirational. I type and then backspace, reminding myself with each stroke that what I just thought has not only already been expressed, but expressed more eloquently, or with a sharper wit or a funnier joke. So I've [...]

With all due respect and mad props to the ubiquitous Carrie Bradshaw, I doubt the heady euphoria she felt as she slid her foot into those slinky Manolo Blahnik shoes was even close to how I felt when the hunky* FedEx man graced my doorstep holding this thing of beauty: That's right! It's a beautiful yellow [...]

I never get tired of talking about music. My kids get tired of me talking about it, or telling them to shush so I can listen to a song they know I've heard a bazillion times. I can't help it. The good memories I have of my mother revolve around music; she'd pile us in [...]

December 17 prompt from ReSound11: What's the one thing you've come to appreciate most in the past year? I can't choose just one….seriously, I'm supposed to choose just one?! Impossible, when I sit and actually think of everything in my life. There's no way to really compare so many different things from different parts of [...]

I'm mixing it up a bit here and taking a prompt from a new source, @dailyangst. I haven't embraced #Reverb11 like I did #Reverb10, and I'm not sure why. The intention is there, just not strong enough to find the inspiration necessary to make daily posting happen. I'm going with the 'it is what it [...]

Day 5: If your life was a television show, what would its theme song be? What music would be cued at the start of the show or when you entered a scene? When I was growing up I lived for Casey Kasem's countdowns, especially the end of the year extravaganzas that let me listen to the [...]

Day 2–My Children Will Do it Differently-If you could choose one thing that your children will do or experience in a different way than you have, what would it be and why? Wow, this is a minefield of a prompt. One the one hand, I'm grateful for every little bit of my childhood; each experience–good, [...]
