I keep seeing lots of posts on how to substitute healthy foods for not so healthy ones. Cauliflower for mashed potatoes… Spaghetti squash for pasta... Zucchini for everything… Skeptical, I laugh and think, “Don’t mess with my mashed potatoes!” Last week, I decided … [Read more...]
Grey Hair and Soup Cans
Looking over my calendar for the week, I noticed my favorite day was just around the corner. Hair Day! Thank goodness too, because my natural blonde was shining through…really grey, but let’s not be negative…blonde works for me. So I headed to the salon, and asked Brittany to … [Read more...]
Fit Friday Getting Back on Track…
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...]
