Rugrats

I love that Drew is a boy’s boy. I love that he has passions…obsessions for sports. I love that he is who he is. But there are times that I’m so glad I have a daughter too. Gabby and I speak an unspoken common language. I get her and her interests in a way that I absolutely don’t with Drew. […]

I’ve decided that I should never run errands with my kids again. Nothing pretty ever comes out of it. Even if it starts out strong with a nice solid finish and a reward at the end, it usually gets ugly at some point or another. It’s possible that today’s trip, in particular, was doomed from the get go. I had […]

Today Gabby and I met “DaDa” for lunch. Gabby having the undivided attention of both of her parents is almost an unrecognizable Gabby. This reiterated our plans for her upcoming birthday next Tuesday. At first I was undecided about what to do to celebrate Gabby’s birthday. She rarely, if ever, has both of her parents doting on her.

Four years ago I became a completely different person, an unrecognizable person, overnight. Four years ago my life changed in ways I could have never anticipated. I always love […]

When I was in preschool I had a “boyfriend.” I very vividly remember him coming to my birthday party and giving me a snowman necklace. Maybe I’m just materialistic and loved the necklace, or maybe it was just the first time I experienced the rush of young love. And so my boy craziness started. Not that my love life was […]

I lived to tell the tale which in and of itself is a feat. It’s not unusual for a mom to take her children to the pool. And most probably take it all in their stride…la la la la la we’re going to the pool. Most doesn’t mean me. If I’ve proved nothing in my blogs is that I’m a […]
