Bell On Heels

If you are going to be the mother of four, do it in great shoes.

I Just Declared It Hug A Teacher Day! You Are Welcome

by

My senior portrait. That perm made other perms jealous 😉 It is almost the end of another school year. I cannot tell you how excited I am. Isn’t it funny, when each new school year starts, I am torn. Sad to see our summer end, yet excited to get back to some kind of routine. […]

When Can A Mom Relax?

by

I want to have a relaxing Sunday morning sometimes. There is only one problem. I am not wired to relax. Ever. My inability to relax actually drives me mad. I don’t understand what has happened to me. I remember being able to relax once upon a time. The older I get the harder it becomes […]

Zazoo Kids Clock: This Could Be Love

Look at that goofy grin. I would love to slap those youthful, wrinkle-free cheeks. Silly girl. I wrote a […]

Kindergarten: A Time To Cry

by

I have four kids. You would think that I would get used to certain things. Vomit, unflushed toilets, boogers and snotty noses, I will never be a fan. Another thing that I will never get used to, is the dreaded first day of kindergarten. I had to register my third child this week. It never […]

Sometimes Being A Mother Means Letting Them Be Themselves

by

When the doctor said “It’s a girl”, her destiny was set. A baby girl is a girly girls dream come true. She would be shiny and pink and sparkly. It was going to be grand. When she was a baby, I dressed her in hats and headbands and furry capes (yes, I said furry capes). […]
