5 Things I know for sure

Really, nothing in life is guaranteed, except of course that we will die.  I don’t mean to be morbid, it’s just reality.  There are some things I am certain of, though: I have made many mistakes as a parent and I will make many more, but they will all be mine and my kids will survive. They might […]

18 Summers, Minus a Few

Nick has an 8th grade promotion ceremony this afternoon. I don’t really get the point of this, the same as I didn’t really get the point of it at the end of elementary school. I’m happy and proud to celebrate accomplishments in the lives of my kids, but moving on to high school is something […]

Traveling with a Diva Cup

I figure the title of this post will either have you absolutely curious or have you clicking the heck away from this page as fast as you can. I mean, I could have totally written a clever title of mystery, but that would just be all mean and we all know I’m not into that […]

Last night was possibly the most special so far, especially if you ask […]

I got up today with a really long to-do list as I’m preparing for us to travel as a family to Orlando, otherwise known as Walt Disney World. Not on my list was cleaning up after a dog who had some tummy issues. Nope. That was nowhere to be found on my list, but it […]

The best thing I’ve done for myself since turning 40

Since turning 40 back in November there haven’t been any big changes in my life. I didn’t expect there to be, but at the same time there are certainly some things that I’m much more aware of, especially when it comes to my health and taking care of my body. I was way overdue for […]

I Finally Like to Walk My Dog & Gentle Leader Review

Our dog Jenna is just about the most perfect dog any family could ask for. I’m not saying that because she’s a senior dog and I’m counting every day that she’s still with us a blessing at this point, I’m saying it because it’s the truth. She’s always been the most gentle, loving, and loyal […]
