Not Every Morning is “A Beautiful Breakfast of Raspberry-Cream Filled Crepes” Kind of Morning

Let’s get real for a second. Coming off of week in which my oldest kiddo only had about four hours of school all week, {Snow Days}, I was hoping to grab some extra ZZzzzs. My 50 pound pooch had other ideas as he jabbed my rib cage in attempt to push me over while attaining [...]

My REAL Day in Motherhood: Snow Day

We live in South Texas, a little ways out of Houston. It is rare to have snow in this part of Texas and even more rare to have schools shut down as a result. But our streets and cars are not winterized for ice so, basically, the entire city shuts down when a Winter storm [...]

My REAL Day in Motherhood: It’s Time for Bed

It is no secret that over the years, bedtime has been challenging. I have tried everything from Melatonin on my pediatrician's suggestion to begging to giving up to, finally, moving them into the same room.

Motherhood – Am I Relevant?

Motherhood – Am I Relevant?

Motherhood has a way of taking what you think you know and turning into a lesson in life. For years I have thought that I know best. I know what I am doing. I understand the direction of my life. Arrogantly. Stubbornly and somewhat stupidly, I have forged forth thinking there was something unique and [...]
