Sorry for disappearing on you like that. I never know what to do when we go on vacation because while I’m totally down with telling YOU I so don’t want Joe Creeper over there to know we’re not home. So I wrote a few posts ahead of time & then just prayed no one would […]
mommy thoughts
Chasing Pavement
On Friday we were leaving school & Sam & all of her friends went running down the sidewalk. Sophie, fully believing she’s at least 3, took off after them. I knew those fat little toddler thighs couldn’t keep up with the pace of her upper half & before there was anything I could do she […]
White as Snow
I believe I remember a bible verse from my childhood that talks about how when you ask for forgiveness Jesus washes away your sins & makes you white as snow. Actually, come to think of it, I think the snow part was Mary had a Little Lamb. Well, I’m sure the message is still the […]

There are these beautiful moments we experience that keep us going but sadly, when you break it down they’re actually few & far between. 90% of my day is made up of unexciting experiences. […]
My boobs go shrinking two by two- hoorah, hoorah
Back in the day when I’d get out of the shower I’d be completely confident with being naked in front of my husband. There was no rush to throw a robe on, no strategic hiding of any body part with the towel. I’d strut around a little, I believe I used to even blow dry […]
