• Elephants, and Tigers, and Clowns – Oh My!

    I was recently offered complimentary tickets by some folks over at the Sprint Center.  Apparently, they view me as an influential mommy blogger and wanted to extend me an invitation to attend the Ringling Brothers Circus with my family.  I was sure I'd never hear the end of it if…

  • Fifth birthday.

    My baby is FIVE today!  I can hardly believe it.  It has been a whirlwind and exhausting, but super fun day for us.  Upon waking up in bed this morning (the kids slept with us in our bed last night), we all sang Happy Birthday to N before even getting…

  • Five Years Ago.

          September 10, 2008   My Dearest Nathan,   Where can I possibly begin in telling you how much I love you?  There are no words.  To say that you have profoundly impacted my life and made it richer, more complete, is simply an understatement.  My dear, sweet, loveable,…

  • Not so fun stuff.

  • I just have to say this about politics.

    This is my blog.  It's a no-brainer that I can say what I want on here regardless of what anyone else reads into it or thinks.  With that said, I don't expect anyone to necessarily agree or disagree with my point of view.  Take it or leave it.  It makes…
