We’ve been to Walt Disney World two times as a family. Both times Paul and I surprised the kids at the very last minute. Seeing their faces was priceless, knowing in that very moment they would be leaving for the most magical place on earth. I love surprises, but I’ll be the first one to […]
Thoughts at the dentist office
January 12, 2012 · by · 4 Comments
I recently took Cody and Nick to the dentist for their routine cleanings and it all went mostly well. I say mostly because Nick had a cavity so of course we had to discuss yet again that when I ask him to brush and floss his teeth it isn’t because I’m being a mean Mom, […]

I’ve shared before that Cody is a Special Olympian. If you have the opportunity to attend a Special Olympics for any sport at least once in your lifetime, I promise it will change you. As a matter of fact, I think it would have a much bigger impact if you take your own children as well. While it’s […]

Dear Cody, Here we are kiddo, you’re 17 years old today. I vaguely remember that day and there weren’t even any drugs involved. That’s right, I’m gonna brag a little. At the time it wasn’t all that pretty or brag-worthy, but now I like to brag about the lack of drugs during my labor and […]

Yesterday I received an email with some fun information about The Muppets Movie that opens on my birthday this Thanksgiving. These emails are always fun and filled with video clips or one sheets, even a fashion piece featuring Miss Piggy, but I have just one teeny tiny issue I need to discuss with Disney. I get that it makes […]
