I’ve been thinking about this post for the last few days. My husband and I just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary and I wanted to commemorate the occasion by writing a little something about him. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that the old adage is true: Happiness really is being married to…

A few days ago, I began to think about my daughter starting Kindergarten soon. Tomorrow, in fact. I’m concerned that because we’ve kept such a tight reign on her social life (meaning who she’s allowed to hang out with) that she will come home with either an attitude we can’t stand, or saying things we…

I love music. I have always loved music, even before I became a mommy and started using it every day in our day-to-day learning. I’ve used it to make me feel better, to make myself cry when I needed a good one, and to tell someone exactly how I feel. I’ve dedicated songs to people,…

So, here’s my first confession. I got this idea from a talk with Nicole last night. Stolen ideas are the best! I have many other confessions. Like, I absolutely use the TV as a babysitter sometimes. I know, I know; not a great idea. In my defense, sometimes I need to use the restroom in…

Or, as I like to call it “A direct route to Crazy Town”. I know exactly what I’m talking about here, folks. My family and I have traveled quite a bit in the last 4 years. Half of our family lives in Florida while the other half call Minnesota home. We live in Kentucky. That’s…
