Another Spring Break is in the history books. We aren’t usually those people who take their kids on multiple trips a year. We do try to squeeze in a summer vacation every year. But we have four kids. And four kids are both expensive and exhausting. So we usually spend spring break home or taking […]
Surviving Spring Time Youth Sports
It is finally spring time. One of my most favorite times of the year. Life just gets warmer and greener. If you have young children then there’s a good chance that you’re involved in youth sports. Maybe even multiple sports. Spring time can be a wild ride for families with multiple kids. This year we […]
My Son Got Hit With A Baseball And Other Stuff That Happened
My son just threw up all over the kitchen. But only because I gave him Amoxicillin and Codeine laced Tylenol. Wait, I had better back up. My son got smacked in the face with a baseball yesterday.

Last Night I Almost Smothered My Husband. Don’t Judge.
You know I would never actually smother my husband. Right? I am a law-abiding citizen and a rule follower. I love my husband. But at 3:00 A.M. the line of fantasy and reality can get a little blurry. What is it about the aging process that sucks all of the fun out of sleeping? Do […]

Southerners And Snow: Don’t Be So Judgy

Raising Men
Four kids call me Mom. One girl and three boys. I love them all with the same ferociousness. But I find that I mother differently between the sexes. I want my daughter to be strong and independent. I want her to have her own mind. To know that with hard work and passion, she can […]
My Documented Love Of Football, My Kids And When The Stars Align
Maybe it is more of a Southern thing. Especially being raised in Alabama. Up North people tend to have a favorite NFL team. But being from Alabama, we didn’t have an NFL team. Not to say that people from the South don’t follow the NFL. My husband is a Dallas fan from way back. But […]
