daily two cents

Recently I acquired something on Craigslist. When I went to make the exchange, I discovered that the person I had been engaging with online had been a girl I had grown up with. In pulling up to her grown up house, it might as well have been her childhood house. Looking at the family she created, it seemed almost identical […]

Houston we have a problem! There is no doubt that Drew is a boy’s boy. He has no interests that are even slightly unisex. It’s sports 24/7, he pretty much has zero interest in girls or girls’ activities (with one minor girl exception) and he seems to relate to the male parties in our family WAY more than the female […]

In our old neighborhood, I had gone for about ten thousand runs…maybe more. I had all the different routes tracked. I could anticipate every turn, every house, and in some cases every bit of landscaping. In my years of running around our old neighborhood, I had a “go to” mix I would listen to.

Some people say they have my eyes. My mother tells me that he has my temperament. I’d like to think she has my fashion sense. Its hard to say who they are and even harder to understand where they came from. Almost four years ago I became a mother. Yeah, I received my first Mother’s Day gift while my first […]

I used to laugh at people like me. I used to think that I would never be one of those people who let their kids all encompass and define them. And now, low and behold, I’ve become exactly that! When friends ask what’s new, my answer has been that I’ve been planning my kids’ party. How could I have such […]

This last week was spent full of birthday celebrations. Adam’s birthday makes a Polish wedding look like a short celebration. And although I’m grateful to put this eating out to an end, its been a ton of fun despite one minor (well major issue). All year long, Drew celebrates a variety of different people’s birthdays. Whenever we start discussing the […]

Did you hear the news? It’s incredible really. She did it! People joked that she has spent as long as 72 months being pregnant, and Jessica Simpson FINALLY had her baby. I am just as guilty as anyone. I criticized her…physique. Jessica Simpson became known for her sultry beauty. Once glamorized as Daisy in the Dukes of Hazard (most known […]

It has started. Somewhere, somehow I thought it could be different. Or maybe I just blocked it out. It’s hard not to get excited at the thought of winter turning to spring and eventually leading to summer. It’s easy to get caught up in everything that means…except when it comes to baseball. We have a mixed marriage. And in some […]
