Light the Night
My childhood best friend is participating in the Light the Night Walk to earn money for Lymphoma & Leukemia research. Lymphoma has touched both Carrie and her husband’s families, and I wanted to share their stories with my readers in the hopes that if any of you can spare a few dollars, you might consider [...]
Where to begin?
It’s been pretty crazy around here recently. We had a loss in our family, and that’s been very difficult for everyone. We will have some downtime next week, so I hope to get you all caught up soon. Until then, I hope everyone out there is doing well.
Hippie Daycare, For the Win!
A couple of months ago, we moved the kids to a new daycare. We’d been having minor issues with our other daycare, really since Jack started going there, but the things just started really adding up and we decided it was time to stop trying to wait it out and make a change. We [...]
What I Learned by Leaving Home for a Week
A couple of months ago I was away from my family for 7 days. SEVEN DAYS! I haven’t been away from them for that long before – heck, I haven’t been away from home without my husband for more than a weekend or so since we’ve been together. The first couple of days were good, [...]

We did a whole lot of nothing for the most part. Cooked. Cleaned. Ate. Drank. Slept late. Took naps. Watched movies. [...]
Dogs With One Blue Eye Are Considered “Alarming”
Last weekend, Brett worked for a friend of his out of town, leaving me home alone with Mazzy & Jack. I was a little apprehensive about being all alone with the chilluns all weekend, but I needn’t have worried. We ventured out to the local public library for a program on how to be a [...]

Another Year Done Gone
Dear Jack, Today you turned One. 1. Uno. Un. Wow. I don’t know what to say that isn’t the whole cliché sob story of how it’s gone so fast and you’ve changed so much, yada, yada, yada. But the truth is, it has gone by so quickly, like the blink of an eye. You went from this: [...]
