Punishment

As you all know, and to many people's shock and dismay, I have three small children. In fact, from July 9 to July 31st I can say I have a one, two and three year old. That, to anyone except maybe Michelle Duggar, is a lot of little kids. All of them are trying to [...]

A Death in the Family

After 67 years, 8 children and 12 grandchildren, my beloved father in law passed on the 4th of July after a year long battle with emphysema and cancer.   Interesting how we have been expecting it but it still seems so sudden.  As a fairly new mother, my challenge was in what to tell the children.  [...]

A Whine a Day…

Every once in a while there are things in life that make me just scratch my head and say hmmmm.  Like child proof pill bottles.  Seriously, who are you kidding?  They are adult proof and I have cursed and thrown many to prove it.  And box wine.  Who came up with this and where do they live?  [...]

Houston, We Have A Problem…

There are many things that every Mother wants to experience with her kids.  Their first steps, first words, first day of school.  We want to see them smile, hear them laugh and cherish their play.  We look forward to their first friends, their favorite teacher and even their first broken heart.  We do not, however, [...]
