OK friends, it’s confession time. I've eaten too much Nutella. There I said it. The truth hurts. I’m nearing 40, and my body is going downhill. I have gained 10 pounds in the last year… Well, probably closer to 15, but who’s counting? I’m only 5’1”, so that’s pretty … [Read more...]
Is it Bedtime yet?
It’s 7:00 on a Wednesday night. Coach took the kids to church for me, and I finally, finally, have a little peace and quiet to write. I sit down, Petey curls up next to me, and I got nada. I’m so exhausted from chasing kids around that my mind can’t slow down enough to even … [Read more...]
The Tooth Fairy…
Bryce bounced down the hall and into my room singing like he does most mornings. I opened my eyes to see his little face within a few inches of mine grinning from ear to ear. Very animated he began, “Mo-om! The tooth fairy come see me last night!” Puzzled, I blinked, my … [Read more...]

Petey, the Morning ‘Person’
I went to bed Friday night with a sigh of relief. No school tomorrow. No multiple carpool lines. The soccer season had just ended, so we actually had… wait for it…”nothing” on the calendar. I could sleep in, and for a mom with little ones that meant I just needed to at … [Read more...]
A Deer Head in the Basement…
“It’s November 9th, babe! November 9th! I still don’t have a deer!” Coach grunted passionately. I rolled my eyes. Between football and killing animals, I’m about to go insane. I have all of these boys surrounding me, and I don’t understand this craziness. On our way home … [Read more...]
Surely, he means the Cookie Monster?
I am not a morning person. There is only one other person in this house that feels my pain…Griffin. Bless him. Griffin and I live with 4 morning people. How on earth did that even happen? I mean, that’s like the amount of people in most American families…and all of them … [Read more...]
Look! It’s Pluto!
For Halloween this year, Grace wanted to dress in something that coordinated with Bryce. I smiled. What a sweetie! I asked Grace, “What about a minion costume?” She loved the idea! I headed to Hobby Lobby for some yellow shirts and construction worker hats, and … [Read more...]
Where in the World?
“Mom, Where is Ba-Tokyo?” Asked my six-year old. I looked at him puzzled. He often mixes up his words. But this one? I was at a loss. “Where, Buddy?” “Ba-Tokyo,” he answered confidently. I thought very hard. “Why are you asking that?” I asked, stalling for more … [Read more...]
Mom’s Night Out…
Friday night we rented the movie, “Mom’s Night Out.” If you have not seen this movie yet, well, you just must! When it was still in theaters a few of my friends and I went out to see it, and then to the Cheesecake Factory afterwards. I ate the White Chocolate Caramel … [Read more...]
