Nostalgic

Yesterday someone gave me newborn diapers. And of course the overwhelming feeling should be, gee thanks that was nice. Instead I find myself in a state of disbelief. I’m going to have a newborn?!?! Seems a little dense on my part, after all I’m as big as a house and suffering from almost every unattractive symptom in the book! Anyone […]

The big girl bed is ordered. Underpants have been purchased. Camp and preschool are on the horizon. So when does my baby girl become my big girl?

Dear Adam, It’s almost humorous to think of where we were seven years ago…and it’s not because I, along with two others, fainted during our ceremony. I think about those two kids who thought they knew what love, life and marriage might be about and I want to laugh at how little we knew (or even probably know now). I […]

I can’t help but reflect back to where I was a year ago. After the long, hard decision to quit my job and stay home, I had made it through July (my first month as a stay at home mom). And although I was getting into a groove, most of my contacts were not going to be around in the […]
