Things I never thought I’d say
I was told on numerous occasions by the veterans of motherhood that you’d be amazed with the strange things you will, not may, but will say. It’s completely true. I was amazed by the truth of it when i had my first child, but the things that have come out of my mouth since having [...]
Multitasking at it’s finest
My mom is one of the finest multitaskers, she did fantastic job of raising my sister and I as a single parent. I watched her on numerous occasions doing a million different tasks at once and doing so with a smile. I have no idea how she did it but she did it well. Now [...]
New and Newer
I have been kindly blessed with two beautiful boys. My eldest is going to be three soon and my youngest is six months old. They are amazing, interested in everything, and are already best friends. I know it sounds silly but when I was pregnant my youngest would kick furiously when his big brother was [...]
My gated community
Moving on up! Ok, not really. My youngest little man is mobile and moving at ridiculous speeds. When I went to his four month appointment his physician mentioned that I should have the baby gates up and prepared to keep baby boy from any and all possible dangerous incidents, well all that wouldn’t involve my [...]
Music and the boys
Both my boys seem to have interest in music, singing, drumming, and dancing. Due to the chance meeting of my beloved and I being an affair he was DJing this is very dear to my heart. We are a music loving household. I have noticed there is a difference between the boys preferences in that [...]

I remember being young and fighting every single nap time in preschool, daycare, and kindergarten. I remember whimpering when my parents held true to my 8:30pm bedtime. I just wanted to stay up and play with the adults, I didn’t get why I had to go to bed. I imagined that my parents were having [...]

My first five days home with both my boys and my husband were a bit of a whirl wind. Slowly my mom has shortened her visits here to help, trying to give our newly extended family more space. When writing these posts I heard Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek with beeps and all. [...]
Men and Women are different

Yes, I know the obvious differences, body parts, hair growth, DNA. My husband and I are different, he is a good foot taller than me, has straight hair, is fair and has dreamy blue green eyes. I’m short, olive, with dark brown eyes, you get the point. I have been reminded time and time again [...]

There are a few things I miss when pregnant. I miss a ice cold pilsner on a hot day. The full bouquet of an well balanced cabernet savigion. The crisp, acidic flavor of a well chilled savignion blanc. Even the syrupy sweet nearly effervescent flavor of an ice wine. Tequilla, oh how I love it [...]
