I’d Rather Be a Mother Some houses try to hide the fact That children shelter there; Ours boasts it quite openly… The signs are everywhere. For smears are on the windows, Little smudges on the door; I should apologize I guess For the toys strewn on the floor. But I sat down with he children […]
Firstly, I want to apologize in advance for any atrocious spelling and/or grammar mistakes on account of the fact that I am blogging via iPhone in the middle of the night. Secondly, the reason I am not at a computer writing at a more reasonable hour is because my second daughter was born this past […]
Awhile back I came across a blog that discussed a “Nectar List” and I even re-blogged the original post. This list was different than a bucket list in the sense that it did not require goal setting but, rather, celebrated achievements — the big and the small — already accomplished.

The death of Robin Williams yesterday from an apparent suicide stunned me and just about every other person I have spoken with. It actually shocked me that my social media account was littered with hundreds of status updates and shares detailing the circumstances surrounding Williams’ death and the sadness that everyone felt knowing that he had […]
This blog post continues my Thirty Things series and asks me to reflect on how I felt the moment I became a parent. Well…the only thing I can possibly liken the experience to is how Alice must have felt when falling down the rabbit hole…it is fun, and terrifying, and exciting, and discombobulating, and beautiful, and […]
So…it’s a girl! Yesterday, my husband and I went to our twenty week ultrasound appointment and learned that we are having another little girl. We had both discussed at length how we ultimately just want a healthy baby…so the gender did not really matter to us one way or the other. Unfortunately, we have to […]
So yesterday my husband and I celebrated three years of marriage and ten years of being together as a couple — honestly where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday that we were those eighteen-year-old children who lived hours apart and saw each other a couple of times a month after lengthy car […]
