Beyond Mommyhood

This is what happens when Mommy is late at work and Daddy is in charge of dinner. Tweet

While not a great shot because it was taken in a darkened hall with the iPhone last weekend, this here image is what my Hubby likes to refer to as proof. As he so eloquently put it, “Let the record show that Mommy gave Mr. Man his first french fry. At the fair.” It’s all […]

Today my Sweetness took her first swimming lesson since she was a baby, when we took a couple of baby and me lessons. It was the first time she was in the pool without Mommy or Daddy, and she did amazing. The rambunctious boys who were jumping and splashing most of the time actually freaked […]

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted a little girl of my own. I even chose her name when I was 12. It took me a little longer than I’d hoped, but I got her. I love this shot, taken last weekend at the zoo’s merry-go-round. We had a great day together. Tweet

We’re back from our long weekend away in Sedona. We made it home about 2:30 p.m. yesterday to a little dude cranky with teething (but thrilled to see us) and a very excited Sweetness. In their excitement they forgot they’re supposed to sleep through the night so working on five hours of sleep I leave […]

Finding Balance in Sedona

I used to want to describe life these days as a juggling act where I’m trying to keep a bunch of balls in the air, but the fact of the matter is that might be too simple of an analogy. It actually feels more like one of those circus acts where I’m keeping 100 plates […]
