Being an Adult I’ve been ruminating on this for a few weeks now, but recently I’ve watched a close friend go through something crazy challenging and it’s just kind of hit me: I am an adult. I mean, pretty officially, I think. Don’t get me wrong, on some level, I’ve known this for quite some … Continue reading Adulting-Guest Blog by my Wife (4-5-16)

It’s A Struggle… (4-7-16)
Here are the boys, looking innocent. I was in the middle of blogging about the challenges, struggles, and paralyzing frustrations of motherhood when I started writing about last night. I realized it deserved its own post and that our readers deserve a good laugh (or sympathetic cry) at my expense. The struggle is constant. Last … Continue reading It’s A Struggle… (4-7-16)
How I’m Spending My Summer (6-6-16)
Last summer our two oldest boys got to be a part of a free summer program called ACES. The name of this program was a bit of a misnomer (expelled and suspended students) but it included youth workers from our local youth crisis center. It was open to any kiddo that was old enough.

Now, not all the way entitled, sometimes I’ve stuck to my guns. I don’t picture my kids so … Continue reading Parenting Blah Blah Blah-Entitlement
My “Co-Workers”
If my kids were people who I worked with: I’m a stay at home mom. Many people think I don’t have much in common with those of us that go to work. But when my friends and family talk about work, I often think how similar it sounds to my day at home. Last week … Continue reading My “Co-Workers”
A few more “moments”
A few more "moments" 2/3/2017 1 Comment Now that enough time has passed to let go of these, I can get a laugh of some of the FML moments from when I was solo before Christmas. Hopefully you’ve read my last post, “16 oz jar”. Here are a few more moments: This one I subtitled, … Continue reading A few more “moments”
