Mommy Getaway – Day 1
After dropping my bags at the hotel, I was starving so I decided to grab some lunch. Definitely delicious! Not only because it was yummy salmon and fresh veggies, but I didn’t cook it! And the bonus? Eating uninterrupted! Wanting to get some pampering in, I was sad to learn that this particular hotel does… Continue reading

I’m Leavin’ on a Jet Plane…
Only I DO know when I’ll be back again. Sunday. I have exactly three and a half days to remember what it was like to be my own person. To not have any real responsibilities. Driving in the rain, my mind imagines all kinds of catastrophes, all completely unrealistic. This is not a reflection on… Continue reading

Visions
Like most people, I love the weekend. I look forward to lazy days, getting stuff done around the house days, help with minion patrol, sleeping in (I wish!) not having to get dressed unless I really want to, long runs, eating breakfast and having slow sips of coffee.

Choose joy or choose pain. Either way, life goes on.
Originally posted on Hangin' by a Thread: A glorious fall sunrise on the morning of our run. As I begin writing this, I have been up for barely two hours. My muscles ache in places I haven’t felt before, I am chafed in places I shouldn’t be, and I’ve already eaten breakfast twice (and I am still… Continue reading

Parenting Confessions: Rotten Days Suck
Those days. You know the ones. You’re out of creamer, you oversleep and everyone coordinates the day to get out of bed on the wrong side. They then proceed to bicker and argue and antagonize each other (and the dog) until the moment they walk out the door to go to school. Yep, that’s me. Right… Continue reading

Happy Birthday Jacob!
Here we are again, another year has past and I’m sitting here thinking it went by so awfully fast. This turning six is a big deal “I should be treated as a grown-up!” is how you say you feel. And while you feel you’re good as grown I’ll have to stop you right there I… Continue reading
