Christmas started in October for me. Because…Hallmark. I was already hooked on Hallmark movies. Then, they started the Christmas marathon and it was a wrap! (Pun intended) Secret princes, small town bakers, widowed fathers and single business women all fell in love under the mistletoe. That one sentence sums up every movie. Now, there are […]
Before December came, I was on a mission to make this the best Christmas yet. I had planned a different event for every weekend. I mapped out all the activities I wanted to do with my boys. There were so many Christmas treats I wanted to bake with them. It was going to be perfect. […]

THE. WORST. EVER. That about sums it up. Potty training is the worst. In my mind it was going to be easier this time around. I’ve gone through it with one kid already. I should be prepared the second time around. LIES. The second time around is just as annoying. My oldest son was not […]
Games have been played, cartoons have been watched and lunch has been eaten. Then, you show up. I look forward to your arrival every Saturday and Sunday. You are the most welcomed weekend guest. Your arrival brings about a peace that passes all understanding. Quiet fills the air. When you’re around I’m able to be […]
Three-day weekends don’t come often. When they do, I rejoice! Just the thought of not having to go to work an extra day excites me. Sunday night I turn off my alarm and lay in the bed watching TV until my heart is content. Then, Monday morning comes. Instead of my alarm there is a […]
Let’s face it. When our kids start school, we start school. My son started Kindergarten and the only one that has had homework so far is ME! Day one his teacher sent a note home instructing us to download an app where we can view his daily activities and receive messages from her and the […]
