Giving Thanks
October 5, 2012 By 7 Comments

September 8, 2012 By 5 Comments
I know I've talked about this before. About my heart melting. And about my kids making me smile, inside and out. But I've had a couple of things happen to me recently that I simply can't be quiet about. Hey, I don't even want to be quiet about … [Read more...]

August 16, 2012 By 4 Comments
I'm raising two girls - Abigail, 8 and Amalie, 4. I've got a 1 year-old son too, but I'm not here to talk about him today. He'll get his post too. When I say daughter in this post, I mean both of my girls. But I have a separate and special … [Read more...]

Are you an insomniac? Well, that's too bad for you, because I'm not. I can sleep like the dead. Anywhere. At least I could, until I got married and had kids. I don't know if this is unique to my house, but there are things that happen in my … [Read more...]
How Do You Love Your Loved One?
October 21, 2011 By 13 Comments
I'm hoping it's the way they deserve to be loved. I recently read a quote that made me realize I have to say this, and say it LOUD. I want to ask you a personal question: how do you treat the love of your life? The person that is your … [Read more...]
