It’s been one of those days. You know the ones. The days when computers crash, cars lurch, kids sass and clients ignore. The days when people change the subject and bury their heads, teachers act more like politicians, bills pile up so fast it’s impossible to keep up and bank accounts scream ‘uncle’ because they’re [...]

It's been another heavy few days here. But this week it isn't destruction on a national scale that's keeping our attention; it's matters of the heart, the voices in our heads and the idea of being 'just right' for everyone else. I told you. Heavy. My girl came to me in tears on Sunday morning, [...]

I can safely say I never thought I'd blog about eggs. Life is funny, though, and by funny I mean more than just laughter inducing. I mean confusing, infuriating, frustrating, ironic, intimidating, exhausting and–yes–sometimes just funny.  This past month has been particularly funny. So funny that I've questioned and doubted and hemmed and hawed even [...]

Baby steps. It seems like yesterday my babies were taking theirs. There’s that luscious series of firsts that, honestly, before I became a mama I rolled my eyes at. That’s because before I became a mama, I didn’t get just how precious first steps are. That first smile, first giggle, first roll over, first crawl, [...]

No matter where I go, here I am. To say that walking into the Gaylord Resort in Grapevine, Texas, today brought back memories is like saying Elvis was fond of his blue suede shoes. It was in 2004 when I first set foot in that monstrous hotel in Grapevine. A lifetime ago, really, when I [...]

Oh, my girl. Your face kills me today. Those usually upturned lips pressed into a tiny thin line, telling me at once that you are sad and angry.  Those eyes…God help me, those eyes…gorgeous and piercing and accusing. You love me, I know, but today–right now–you hate me.  Because you want to go outside and [...]

     Today is my first time linking up with Shell for PYHO (Pour Your Heart Out). I loved Erin's post, which inspired me to sit down and blog on a day that I really didn't feel like     doing much of anything at all. I went back to yoga this week. Mind you [...]

Well isn’t this a kick in the pants. I decided that I’d try Mama Kat’s writing prompt this week, and loved the Instagram option: “Open Instagram (if you have an account) and scroll down to the 4th photo shared by a friend. Share the photo, link to the person who posted it, and let it [...]

So I was moping last night. Not because anything was wrong, but because Adam was asked to a dance—his first—and attended Homecoming with a girl named Trisha. He said it was no big deal, that they were going as a group and that it wasn’t really a date. Whether or not I buy that is [...]

I did it again. No, not an impression of Brittney Spears (and for that, you’re welcome). “It” was say something on my blog that had absolutely nothing to do with anyone except–gasp–ME and pissing someone off in the process.  In reality, annoyed or saddened are probably more accurate word choices than mad, but whichever we [...]
