It’s Time
When I was pregnant with him, I was sicker than I’ve ever been in my life. I read all the books, studied up on exactly how he was developing and growing. We dreamed about what this little baby would be like when we were able to finally meet him, like all parents-to-be surely do. When… Continue reading

Seeds of Safety
Walking to the corner I keep an eye on the other end of our road for the bus. Eventually it comes, lumbering down the street to drop off our kiddos from another day at school just a quick 3 suburban blocks from our front door. The pavement wet from last night’s rain, I clutch the handle of… Continue reading

DIY Mayo!
I love LOVE mayonnaise on things like sandwiches, in potato salad, egg salad and also for use in creamy dressings like ranch! What I am not a huge fan of is processed commercial made mayos – love their flavor, but not the preservatives and soy-based ingredients. I went looking for a “tastes like Best Foods”… Continue reading

Deployments ARE Marathons!
Having a few races under my belt including a marathon, as well as a few deployments – I couldn’t help to note some striking similarities.

The Power of a Single Word
Today’s prompt conjures 2 things; a fond memory shared with an old co-worker from days working in the training department of a bank, and great irritation at anyone who uses the word. Before figuring out what to be when I grew up, I worked many jobs, but all of them had a common thread: teaching. I… Continue reading

School’s back in session, the sun is shining, and I have time! Time to read, write and play with my 3 dog babes! School started this week and it is the first year that our minions are riding the bus.

I’m Sorry – A Letter to My Kids
I’m sorry. I’m truly very sorry. I have gotten plenty of things wrong in your short lives, and there will be plenty more I will likely handle badly. This one is going to hurt. I’m taking away your screens. Permanently. I know. I’ve threatened before when you couldn’t keep yourself together when I’ve said, “Times… Continue reading

Complicated Risk
BAM! The sudden crack of the window next to my computer sounded like the thud of an errant ball lobbed in the wrong direction and as soon as it did, I ducked, certain I was about to be covered in shards. When the raining glass never fell, I opened my blinds to figure out what the heck had… Continue reading
