HAPPY NEW YEAR!It is a new year. A chance to start over, make a difference, change a life. A time to reflect on the last year and dream of the next year. A fresh start, take care of me, handle my life like I should, have a purpose, time of year. I love the New Year. [...]
Lately, I have been having some behavioral issues with the girls. Nothing out of the ordinary, really. Smarting back, saying words I don't like - shut up! - and purposeful meanness towards one another and me. We have great times during the day interrupted by massive explosions of complete insanity.Those are the moments that exhaust [...]
I have aged. Considerably, I would say, since having children.Well, since having two children. Well, really, since staying home with three children we thought it brilliant to have all in a row. As if they were ducks that needed alignment for our merriment. Children that are all girls because God loves us so much he [...]
It dawned on me the other day that my kids might actually read this one day! They'll sit down at their virtual computers, say my name or a product name I have reviewed, and up it will pop! Lost in the thousands of posts I will hopefully have done by then, it will take them [...]

Last night, for New Year's Eve, we had some friends over. They arrived around 6 pm and we all settled around the fire awaiting the New Year. I knew my kids would be up late but doubted any of them would make it to midnight.Sure enough, Megan was the first one out around 10 pm. [...]
This is the first week that I shed a tear when I stepped on the scale. I am completely baffled at my inability to find my will power to do something I know how to do. Get this blasted weight off of me before it causes serious medical issues that will shorten my life, decrease [...]
And my final archive post of 2010 is one of my all time favorites! This is the one that Tori Spelling retweeted to all of her followers just as I was thinking I was not cut out for this blogging stuff. I was deep in the land of "Who am I kidding, I can't write!?!" [...]
Every year, a myriad of friends tell me their New Year's Resolutions. I listen, happy to oblige this annual traditions of making empty promises to ones self but secretly hope they make it happen. I usually don't make any and rely on the old standby, "My resolution is not to make any."But this year... this [...]
My next to last archive post! Please enjoy!Originally published 9/26/2010I would like to know who coined this phrase. This ridiculous, impossible to achieve, unattainable title.What makes a Mom a "Supermom"?Is it that her house is clean? Her kids are clean? She can juggle everything and still look clean herself?
