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 […]
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

There’s a saying that goes, “In every life a little rain must fall”. Fortunately I’ve had a pretty clear weather forecast throughout my life (I think God knows I can’t handle much!), so I’ve been used to having things go “my way”. It was quite unexpected therefore when I faced my first downpour three years

And strange how I didn’t realize it until yesterday even though I had dealt with it before, or I had thought I did. Yesterday, C was mistreated by a little boy and I wasn’t

Image courtesy of Simon Howden/freedigitalphotos.net If there’s anything I’m good at, it’s finding bargains. I love walking into a store and heading straight for the sales/clearance area and digging around for treasures. You could say that I got the “el cheapo” gene passed down to me because frugality runs in my family. Let me tell

In our family, even though we are not of royal blood, I think it’s safe to say that I have earned my title as Queen … more specifically, the Queen of No’s and Don’ts. I probably say or think ‘No, don’t …!’ a hundred times a day. Let me give you some examples: “No, don’t

Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you I am a girly girl. I LOVE the color pink, laugh with my hand over my mouth, sigh and cry during chick flicks (even the predictable ones), try to steer clear of any activity that requires getting dirty, and cannot hit or throw a ball
