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…
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…
I always believe that it’s good to reinforce the positive because then you’ll get more of it. Likewise (and you probably know someone like this), if you’re mopey all the time, most likely things are happening in your life for you have reason to mope. Sometimes I think we just have to make a conscious…
Yes, this is a frank post about sex. Married people sex. Which is DEFINITELY different than single people sex. So if you are my parents (Hi Mom & Dad!) or you don’t want to know me THAT WELL then please stop reading. Husband, if you happen to choose to read this blog post, I wouldn’t…
Last weekend I met my parents out in Phoenix. We were to go to a dear family friends’ memorial service. Not the happiest of reasons to go, but good to see old friends and where we all used to live. BabyD and I made the trek across the 6+ hours of arid landscape. I do…
A few dear friends have asked what I am fixing for Christmas dinner since they know that I love to cook. We’re actually having a number of special dinners since my Mom & Dad, as well as my brother and his family are in town. However, my brother will be spending Christmas dinner with his…
One of the great things about having my in laws here over Thanksgiving weekend was that Husband and I got to sneak away. OMG I had a crazy love affair over that weekend. And yes, my husband was there. It’s what made it so special. Husband & I have decided that if his parents are…
I just took my MIL to the airport. PTL and I mean it! I have so many mixed feelings about her. I think that she is a great demonstration of god’s little practical and private jokes with me. We do have a few good moments together, but the rest of the time I’m just left…
I love fall. It is absolutely my favorite season all year. I love the colors all around. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving. I love pulling out sweaters and jackets. Today, fall really started for me. Last night it rained all night. Our first real rain of the season. It doesn’t really rain in the summer…
Sorry I’ve been a way for a few weeks. Bad behavior, I know, for someone who a) has a burning desire to write because it helps me sort my shit out (and believe me there’s a lot to sort out!) and b) someone starting a blog. My sincere apologies. There’s been a number of things…
