A Tale of a Boy Mom—The Stowaway

May 26, 2010

This is something that would only happen to a mom of boys… I was leaving work a few days ago and was walking around the back of my van in the parking ramp when I spotted this: If you don’t know what it is, then you obviously don’t have boys between the ages of 5 [...]

Join Mission Pink with Hanes

May 26, 2010

I hate worrying about cancer, but the truth is, it’s everywhere. We all know someone who has suffered from this undiscriminating disease — and we all pray that it won’t happen to us, our spouses, or our children. In a word—it sucks. Fortunately, there are many organizations who are helping fight this disease in its [...]

A Request for Sequester from a “Lost” Fan Who Fell Behind

May 24, 2010

We’re doomed. Husband and I, that is. You see, tonight was the series finale of “Lost,” but we didn’t watch it. Why? Because we haven’t caught up. In fact, as I’m typing this I’m also watching Season 5, episode 5. I’m so confused. We’re back in time, we’re forward in time. People were dead; now [...]

Take Me Out to the Ballgame . . . Again

May 18, 2010

After a less-than-enjoyable night before at the baseball fields due to the fact that I was stuck blessed with two unbelievably whiny young boys and that our team took a whoopin’ from a team we had previously whooped on (As Boy #1 would say, ‘We got pwned’), I wasn’t extremely enthused about spending another night [...]

Baseball—An Observation of Opposites

May 17, 2010

This past Saturday we could be found where we spend every Saturday from April to June — Prairie Ridge Sports Complex.

Not only did I not have [...]

A Question for the Ages

May 14, 2010

My kids are weird. Not weird in a bad way, necessarily, just a funny, quirky, out-of-the-ordinary way. And I find it quite charming most of the time. They make me think about things I’ve never thought about before. And sometimes they ask me questions that literally stump me. And yes, those questions usually involve math. [...]

My Mother’s Day Meltdown—And Recovery

May 11, 2010

After being saddened by the death of a good friend’s mom and the news of a local mom who lost two of her three children (ages 5 and 5 months) in a car accident this week, I was reminded just how fortunate I am to be able to spend this Mother’s Day with not only [...]

I’m a Travel Mama!

May 7, 2010

When Colleen Lanin, a writer and now friend I met at the Type-A Mom Conference, asked if I’d write a guest post for her fabulous site travelmamas.com, I was first flattered. And then flabbergasted. Because where the heck do I travel to? Baseball games? Check. Doctor appointments? All too much. But someplace that other people [...]
