Family Portrait – August 2011 (Oh well, at least I look great) This is one of those blog posts you do out of guilt. I was chatting with a fellow blogger friend the other day and she shared with me that she missed my updates. She wondered how the boys were doing… had they [...]
Old School Mommy & Chase ~ Circa 2009 On the weekends we make every effort to get out of the house and do something fun as a family. Chase had a birthday party to attend this past Sunday, but Saturday was wide open. So after the boys woke up from their nap we decided to [...]
It was a particularly rough morning. Chase was in rare form. In the midst of Derek getting him dressed for school he decided that he didn’t want to take off his undershirt. He wanted to keep on the undershirt he’d slept in last night to wear under his school clothes. We tried to reason with [...]
Thank you to my sisters for these decadent chocolate-covered cherries! I jokingly wrote that 32 is the new 32 because nowadays folks are quick to talk about 40 being the new 30, 30 being the new 25, and so on. I embrace my age today because I'm so completely content with where I [...]
Since the onset of my blogging career (if I may call it that) I've had the pleasure of being interviewed by several websites and influencers whom I greatly admire. It's always a blessing and humbling experience when someone believes in what you do, what you stand for, enough to feature you on their online property. [...]
I've been thinking about the direction this blog has taken. I have to be honest with you – I'm surprised anyone still reads. I post so sporadically and when I do I feel my writing lacks the energy and spontaneity it once had. When I started with the whole "mom blogging" thing I wasn't new [...]
Every morning Chase wakes up around 6 am and calls out for me. I'm always awake and this morning was no different. I hurried out of bed and into his room before his summons grew louder, awakening Bryce (who usually gets up around 6:15 am). When I flicked on the light Chase was grinning and [...]
Chase @ 23 Months, Bryce at 4 Months Chase actually was extending his arm out to push Bryce away (in annoyance), but it looked like a punch in the video. Fortunately, Bryce was not hurt – he was surprised more than anything. We all were! This video was recorded about a month ago and it's [...]
Chase @ 23 Months & 2 Weeks, Bryce at 4.5 Months With the end of 2010 quickly approaching I look back with fondness and nostalgia. It was an important year for my family – one marked by change and adjustments. I enjoyed my second, and possibly last, pregnancy. We became a family of four [...]
image source: Picture Book I remember the year we had a real Christmas tree. It was maybe 1996 and I was around 15 or so. It was kind of a "big deal" in our family because we'd always had an artificial tree – a towering, 7 1/2 foot beauty that we lovingly trimmed from top to [...]
