My Jobs

May 15, 2013

One week after my sixteenth birthday, I drove myself over to Outback Steakhouse and applied to be a hostess. It was my first job ever, minus camp counseling, and I continued there on and off for four years. It took me awhile to get the hang of things – understanding how to keep the restaurant equally weighted by customers, making [...]

The Return of Snow Days

May 14, 2013

The worst part of Adam working so close to home, besides the difficulty in maintaining a “relationship” with the gardener , was that he never could have a snow day. You may remember how challenging I found our recent day stranded at home due to the snow. Adam is leaving his employment of seventeen years! He was contacted by a [...]

We survived another week!

March 1, 2013

Two years ago when I was just learning what life was like balancing two children and getting back to working full time, I felt a huge weight lift when we made it through the week to Friday. Although I would like to think it was because it meant that I could spend two consecutive days with my kids, it really [...]

It’s not glamorous, but it’s all mine!

November 23, 2012

Days like this where a lot of the world has a vacation day and my husband is at work so I am left to have anything but a vacation day (kids without school or activities), I am reminded how thankful I am for being a stay at home mom. Better yet, I am thankful that I belong to Lifetime Fitness [...]

RIP Old Me

October 12, 2012

I have joined the world of people way too involved with all the many details that comprise my children’s lives, I have become a person who defines herself based on her children, and I am at the point when people ask about me I reply with details about my kids. I’m a stay at home mom through and through. For [...]

Call it fate?

October 5, 2012

Approximately a year and a half ago, I quit my job. It was one of the most nerve wracking decisions I have ever made but I took a leap of faith (?) and did it. In some ways it has been my most excruciatingly hard year and a half but also my most deliriously happy year and a half. Almost [...]

Thank Goodness!

September 11, 2012

Maybe you can tell because I’ve hinted to it, I’ve danced around it or I’ve indirectly said it but my mom is AMAZING! She’s not amazing in that everyone has an amazing mom sorta way, she’s amazing because of so many things words really couldn’t properly ever grasp it so I’m not going to waste your time with a laundry [...]

CEO of the house

July 20, 2012

I think my husband likes a woman in power. Of course I am the woman in power of our house, but he has been talking a lot about Marissa Mayer. Marissa was recently named the CEO of Yahoo. Two interesting points about her is that she is only 37 and she is pregnant with her first child due in October. [...]

The Eternal Debate Continued!

July 11, 2012

I have a friend who works full time. She has a nanny who is amazing and does everything! She does all the cooking, the cleaning, the laundry, the errands, getting the kids’ bags situated and lunches packed, etc. And as a result, my friend gets to come home and be fun. That’s her main responsibility once she walks in the [...]

I am a Blogger

April 24, 2012

I always had an affection for writing. It seemed like an easy way for me to get out my thoughts. English teachers from when I was very young were complimenting me for my advanced writing skills. Although writing always had a presence in my life, I never really focused on this skill or passion for that matter. When I was [...]
