I have always enjoyed writing, whether it be poetry, song lyrics or this blog(!) and have been happy and encouraged to receive positive feedback from people who have read my work. However one of my dreams has been to have something of mine get published, so that I can have proof that my work meets […]

For babies, there is a new language to learn and new customs to follow, but eventually they become familiar with it all. Well, I think the same
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

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
