Strange fascination, fascinatin’.  Ah changes are takin’, the pace I’m going through. -       David Bowie Here’s what I know how to do.  One foot in front of the other.  Grammy always said, “keep on keeping on.”  And that’s what I’m doing.  However, I think I just need a good cry.  Or a vacation (though we [...]

family reunion

Usually I participate in Wordless Wednesdays posts.  However, while looking at my pictures, I realized that there is one picture that I need to write about.  Earlier this month I attended my extended family’s biennial reunion.  This year, my Mom and I hosted the gathering at a lakeside set of cabins in southwest Colorado.  I [...]

solo road tripping w/the boys

Here’s what I love about road trips.  I love not being on a schedule.  I love getting up and going when we get up and go.  I know that I’m gonna get there.  Don’t rush me.  I’m rushed enough.  On a schedule enough (or running behind enough).  I run errands enough.  I just want to [...]

like i know

I forgot to mention one of the coolest and funniest things that has happened to me lately.  I’m now a monthly contributor at My Mommy Manual.  I literally fell out of my chair when I got the invitation email and then had to stifle some serious laughter when Practical Mommy asked me to write about [...]

oh brothers

(c)NotJustAnotherJen

I prayed for two boys.  I just thought I would be a better mom to boys.  Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve always had a lot of guy friends.  I understand guys.  They are simple creatures.  Girls are sooo complex and emotional (speaking from experience).  I’m not good with drama and emotions that get blown [...]
