(Could it be the light at the end of the tunnel? Could we be hopeful? Is it really happening? #5 is 2 weeks into potty training! All 5 kids have been cloth diapered for most of their lives (sans vacations and sometimes overnights). According to my calculations, I've changed, rinsed, washed, dried, and applied somewhere … Continue reading Poop! 11/6/15

Just Another Day in Paradise (AKA the Gay Lifestyle) 11/11/15
If you asked me a year ago, I never would've given much thought to what the term, "gay lifestyle" implied. Or maybe I would have had a stereotypical reaction to the phrase. You know, depending on how it's said, it invokes images of promiscuity, wild partying, etc. Several months ago someone used this term to … Continue reading Just Another Day in Paradise (AKA the Gay Lifestyle) 11/11/15

Parenting Blah Blah Blah-Entitlement
It’s another mothering blog, so I apologize, but it seems to occupy my mind and my life quite a bit. Read this and I promise a juicy blog post by next week. Confession: I have entitled kids. 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”
