“The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.” ~ Steve Furtick I saw this quote for the first time as I read the blog of one of my new followers and it has been stuck in my head ever since. I even have it written in … Continue reading »

Confession Time
I’ve been cheating on you guys. I have found another place to hang out on the interwebz. It wasn’t you. I promise. It was me. I didn’t feel like writing, then I stopped reading your blogs, then I fell out of the loop, then I felt like an outsider, then…my awesome husband told me to … Continue reading »
Let’s Just Call It a To-Do List
I hate resolutions. I think the whole idea of them is stupid. Ok, maybe not the WHOLE idea…but the act of everyone making them at the beginning of the year, just to break them and go on with the existence that they didn’t like in the first place, is stupid. I like the idea of making … Continue reading »
One of These Things Is Not Like the Other
This weekend was going to mark my first time away from Gummy overnight. 4 days and 3 nights away. Mike was going to take her on a road trip to Salt Lake City to visit family and I was going to stay home. It was needed and dreaded all at the same time. I’m sure most of … Continue reading »
Trick or Treat! Or Not.
Trick-or-treating. I love it. I gladly walk around with my kids on Halloween while they go from door to door collecting their goodies. It’s not helicopter parenting. Halloween is my favorite time of year and walking the dark streets, admiring children’s costumes, watching parents with their first timers, appreciating the hard work that some people … Continue reading »
Fake It ‘Til You Make It
First and foremost, I don’t know if you’ve noticed – probably not, since I’ve been really sucking on the posting lately – there’s a little link off to the right that will take you to my new Facebook page. I gave in. So…if you’re a Facebooker, like me, go give it a like. I can’t guarantee a … Continue reading »
Haiku Friday: Pinterest Wins Again
I recently learned about the rash of blogs, books, and websites dedicated strictly to haikus about life as parents. Have you heard about this? I feel out of the mommy loop on this one. Google it. There are lots to look through. I was directed to Suburban Haiku and I have to say she’s pretty funny. … Continue reading »
It’s The Little Things.
Just a few moments ago, I was finishing up some things on the computer – getting ready to shut it down and tackle some dishes in the sink. The Gummy Bear was next to me in her bouncy seat nodding off. I was a little distracted by trying to finish what I was doing and keep … Continue reading »
The Days, They Run Together
I’d like to blog. I really would. I have about 3 different ones that are partly finished, waiting in the sidelines in the “Draft” section of my posts. I’ll get to them eventually. If I didn’t have my computer I probably wouldn’t know what today’s date is. My days are a blur of feedings (the … Continue reading »
Yep, I Had A Baby.
She was born on May 17 at 9:17pm. She weighed 8 lbs 5 oz, has a mess of hair, big adorable feet, my mouth, and the rest of her face is all daddy. We can already tell that she’s going to be a total brat when she doesn’t get her way and her toddler years may be … Continue reading »
The Homestretch
We only have 4 weeks to go, unless Gummy decides to be fashionably late. I don’t even like thinking about that possibility right now. The weekly doctor’s visits will start this week and, if I remember correctly, the weekly pelvic exams. Yippee! I don’t even care what my nether regions probably look like at this … Continue reading »
My Cheese Is Soft.
I’m fairly certain I mentioned in my last blog the horrible attitude that I’ve developed this trimester. Some days I feel like a toddler that wants to just slam their ass down on the floor and have a fit – not for any reason other than nothing seems to please me or to be going … Continue reading »
The Headless Chicken
So, I keep coming back here to blog…I had planned on writing a funny blog on a few things I learned during my week-long vacation, but I just haven’t gotten to it this week. Running around like a chicken with my head cut off, making sure everything is set for the wedding tomorrow, has taken … Continue reading »
