spilling it all on my blog...
When I first started blogging, I’d write just about anything. Silly stuff, book reviews, whatever was going on with my kids and my marriage, recipes… all things “mom.” But what I noticed was that it was those posts when I was really pouring my heart out that I truly felt this blogging community. Those posts… read more »
When we were first married, we were starry-eyed-in-love newlyweds. But really, we didn’t have much of a clue how to be married. Being young, we thought we could float on a cloud of love and that would be enough. When you throw in a baby and big job changes a little less than two years into… read more »
If I’m not at home, I most likely have my iPhone or my iPad or both with me. And I’ll use them to check email and respond if need be. Same goes for facebook and twitter. Most of what I’m doing is for work. But I’ll admit that sometimes, I’ll scroll through instagram just for… read more »
At the end of the night, when the house is quiet, I tell myself I will do better tomorrow. I look at the sleeping faces of my boys, so innocent and sweet in their dreams. And I realize how young they still are and how entitled they are to their mistakes. Knowing they don’t do things intentionally… read more »
The most romantic day of the year is this Thursday, right? That’s what we’re supposed to believe. A day to show how much you love someone. Hubs and I? We roll our eyes at Valentine’s Day. It’s not that we don’t believe in romance, because we do. But we’ve never been big on cards. And… read more »
When there’s something rough going on, we all deal in our own ways. There really isn’t a right or wrong way to deal. We feel how we feel. But it seems that the way that I deal makes me the odd one out when it comes to my family. And I’m sick and tired of… read more »
When I saw that Les Miserables was coming out as a movie, I was so excited to see it. I had read the book years ago and did a term paper on Jean Valjean as part of my senior lit minor in college. And years before that, I saw it on Broadway when I was… read more »
One… two… three. One…two…three. The non-stop headcount done by this mama of three young boys whenever we are out anywhere. The one that occurs even more often at some place like a waterpark, where we spent the past two days. The boys had an absolute blast and I enjoyed our time, too. But it was… read more »
Yes, yes, he is. Sometimes. And with the little things, I think oooh, I want to vent about this. And I consider posting a little blurb with his latest asshole move on my facebook page and letting you all have a laugh at his expense. Or make myself feel better when you agree with me… read more »
I always seem to fall into a bit of a funk after being out of town. Whether it was a trip to visit family or a conference somewhere, I come back home and feel a little deflated. I’m having a particularly hard time after this most recent visit to see my family. Because if I… read more »
Mom to 3 boys. Not trying for a girl. Former Yankee turned Southern girl by marriage. Spilling it all about parenting, marriage, and all things mom. Might not be able to say these things out loud, but I can spill it all here with you.
