Image courtesy of dream designs/freedigitalphotos.net It’s that time of the year again when I find myself wondering, “Where did the year go?!” I think time passes by especially fast when you have kids cause life is busy, busy, busy and you just look forward to the end of each day when you can lie down […]
I will be the first to admit that I’m relationally challenged. Of course being around hubby for over a decade has helped tremendously and given me some new skills for relating to people, but the real game-changer for me in this area has been becoming a parent. And not just a parent, but a parent
I ran into an old friend the other day who said in a “I can’t believe it” kind of tone, “You stay home with them (the kiddies) all day?” I took a deep breath and replied, “It’s training in progress!” I’ve been thinking lately how much motherhood has changed me and how far I’ve come
Image courtesy of Dynamite Imagery/freedigitalphotos.net So it’s that time of the year when I start thinking about getting older (and hopefully wiser, hehe). It’s funny how the climb up the proverbial “hill” seems so long and slow when we’re young, but once we hit the top, it feels like we’re stuck in an avalanche and

I’ve been telling people this past year that I want to be a more fun person. I almost wanted to make it my new year’s resolution, but then, if you make being fun an assignment, it really isn’t that fun anymore, is it? 😛 So it’s been more of a self-analytical learning process that I’ve
I used to think I was a pretty patient person… of course this was before I had kids and became a stay at home mom. I based this belief on the fact that I usually don’t mind waiting in lines, even “black Friday” type of lines, but truthfully speaking, this probably just means I’m a
I love taking vacations. Hubby didn’t know this fact about me when we got married, but he sure learned it quickly afterwards when I constantly talked about taking another trip. Now that we have kids, it’s a little harder to travel, but we still try to do overnighters or weekend getaways when we can. I

Image courtesy of Idea go/freedigitalphotos.net A while back as I was driving to pick up E from school, I encountered some construction on the road and saw a sign that read, Road work ahead. Expect delays. I sighed (and smiled) as traffic started to slow down and thought about how smart it was for the workers to

Image courtesy of Michelle Meiklejohn/freedigitalphotos.net I’ve been thinking lately that’s it’s way to easy to become a parent (assuming there are no conception difficulties). When I was in the hospital after having had E, I couldn’t believe that the doctors and nurses were just going to let us take him home! There were no diaper
