Stay at Home Mom

Quite near literally since I’m changing diapers around the clock. Someone call somebody…action must be done. I am alone with three kids!!! Um…yeah, you have three kids. But today starts the first day of literally having three kids by my lonesome. Huh? Since her retirement and the addition of my third child, I have enlisted my mom as slave labor. […]

Over the years I have worn a variety of different uniforms to meet the needs of the variety of jobs I have had. From my red polo shirt with jeans and an apron as a Chili’s waitress to my fancy suits as a pharmaceutical rep, I have always dressed my part. Recently I may have overdone this.

Since my “maternity leave” from being a stay at home mom has been behind me with Adam going back to work, I find myself slightly wishing away these initial weeks of Noah’s life.

Since I “retired,” our […]

How’s that blogging thing going? People ask me this all the time. I’m not exactly rolling in the moola from blogging…so if that’s how you’d gauge my success than it’s not going well. Blogging, however, has given me so much! First of all, I’m constantly overwhelmed and surprised that anyone reads what I have to say. I’m so grateful for […]

Houston we have a problem!!!! Gabby’s naps are getting shorter and shorter, and yesterday’s nap was non-existent. There have been times on weekends and busy days that I have been grateful that she can go with the flow enough to put aside her nap and be satisfied with a half an hour shut eye in the car. I’m afraid that […]

Tuesday mornings have met mania on a whole other level separate from the chaos Monday through Friday usually brings. It is the only time available for my most important type of therapy, a.k.a. Yoga with Samantha. That term, “it takes a village,” comes into full force here. Between the consolidation of four year olds to one mom and one mom […]
