iPhone Apps (I’d Like to See) for Moms of Boys

By On May 4, 2010 · 9 Comments

So, I’ve had my iPhone for a year, and already I’ve reverted back to old habits. Old-school habits, that is.

Yep, I pretty much use my phone just to send and receive calls. Once in a while I text or play Moxie (my current obsession word game of choice). [...]

Things I’m Wondering Today

By On April 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Has it really been a week since I’ve blogged?

Why am I choosing to watch Dora the Explorer when I am the only one home?

Why have I allowed a stray puppy the size of a small grizzly to stay in my home for the past two weeks?

And is it really possible for one [...]

Or “Why Are My Kids Still Up at 10:05 on a School Night?”

Before you become a mom, you dream about how it will be. What you will do… what sweet things your kids will whisper in your ear… what words of wisdom you will pass on to your offspring.

In my pre-mom dreams, my [...]

Believe me, people, I’m trying. I really am.

After BlissDom, one of my takeaways was that I need to be more consistent and post EVERY DAY.

And with my (sister’s) suitcase not even unpacked yet (Yes, I realize it’s [...]

Well, Monday, you’ve done it again. It’s been one of “those days,” you smug little cliché. I know you’re smiling, Monday, but really, it’s not funny. You’re sooooo predictable. I mean, seriously, step out of the box once in a while, will ya? It’s getting pretty old. Sheesh.

Here was my day, Monday, just so [...]

Birds, Bees, and Boys

By On January 26, 2010 · 4 Comments

It’s the moment moms dream of…hanging out with the family, sharing some quality time, when all of a sudden your soon-to-be 8-year-old son blurts out:

“Mom, what’s a boner?”

Ummm…yeaaaaahhhh…

I wanted to run away screaming, not just because I wasn’t in the mood to have the “birds and the bees” discussion but also because [...]

Forget "Super Mom" . . . I’d Be Happy with "Mediocre Mom"

By On October 6, 2009 · 11 Comments

After Boys #1 and #2 were born, I went back to working full-time. For a year and a half, I even left my house at 5:00 am so I could drive an hour and start working at 6:00. That way I could get off at 3:00 and be home [...]

Serving up Monday Topped with a Dollop of Guilt

By On October 5, 2009 · 5 Comments

I hate missing my kids’ activities, as all us moms do. Sunday was one of those days when I had committed to helping my Bible study group cook and serve a meal at church but had to miss Boy #1′s baseball scrimmage to do so.
