Pin ItOh, put away the tissues, this isn’t one of THOSE posts. Nicole over at Moments that Define Life prompted us to list 5 wishes we have for our children as they grow up. I know, I know, my first thoughts were about safety, health and happiness. But after the weekend I had, they’ll be…

Hungry
Pin ItWhen I was a little kid, I would sneak change from my mother’s purse to buy candy at the pool. A dime would buy a tiny sleeve of little candy coated chocolate balls. I still can see them melting in my hand as I tried to savor each and every tiny piece. Simple joys….
Saying Goodbye
Pin ItThis was a post that I wrote a few of months ago and I’m still feeling a little raw over it all. But I’ve also hit a wall in the writing department so I’m digging through my drafts. And before we get to the main event, could you ALL give Miss Jessica Torres and…
Thursday blahs
Pin ItI know, I know…its almost Friday AND its a long weekend (and I had really good sex this week) but I just can’t get past the blahs. I have THREE well thought out posts to write and yet finding the time to type them out seems to escape me. Yesterday was to be my…
Slow down, big fella
Pin ItThat would be Father Time. Seriously, Big Daddy, I could use a break. Also, The Dude is moving way too fast for me. Also the idea of him having his first birthday already? Preposterous! My sweet boy, you have been teaching me patience and telling me to slow down long before you appeared…

Thank you my sweet girl for every smile, joke, tear and challenge. You make me a better person every day. And you…
On being an OLD mom
Pin ItNo, I didn’t say OLD did I? There I go again, using that nasty word. It’s a dirty word in my book and I deny ever being aforementioned adjective. Fooey. Many of you know Liz from A belle, A bean and a Chicago dog I enjoy her writing and envy her common sense… she’s…
D.I.I.D., D.I.I.D or a Cry for Help
Pin It…damned if I do, damned if I don’t. This could be a post about spankings, frustration, and marital bliss but it isn’t. I know, darn. Well, okay, it IS about frustration. Many of you mothers (and fathers) out there know how hard it is to get your kids to eat a healthy meal even…
Hold on hope
Pin ItSpare me your judgements and spare me your dreams Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind Alone in the wind and the rain you left me It’s getting dark darling, too dark to see And I’m on my knees, and your faith…
