Dad proud of his third child. I have said before that I hope this blog is still around when my kids are grown. I also hope that they will actually read all of my posts one day. From the funny ones that made me LOL to the heartfelt entries that were typed, as tears streamed […]
Marriage And The Little Things That Drive You Nuts
Marriage is a wonderful institution. However, it is not an institution that should ever be entered into without serious reflection. Like, SUPER serious. Thinking someone is ‘hot” is simply not enough. “Till death do us part” is kind of a big deal. Like the stuff nightmares are made of, in some cases. You have to […]
The Day My Mother Saw An Oncologist
I share things on this blog in an effort to have a record of my journey. I document my life for the world to see, in the hopes that I can find human connection and support, through experiencing life together. Today, I share my real life. Just like every other day. I have written posts […]
How To Madly Prepare For A Beach Vacation
I love the ocean. It causes me to have bouts of tranquility. I am zero percent Zen. But if I ever was, I left it by the oceanside. The problem is I don’t live close to the ocean. So if I want to experience it, there has to be a whole production. My husband likes […]

Sorry I haven’t been sharing much lately. The end of the school year is always a crazy-busy time. In the last two weeks of school, I had two class field trips, Muffins With Mom (a thing where you have muffins at the school because muffins at home would just be too simple), Field Day (which […]
Mamahood: You Might Be Doing It Right
Mother is a title that I wear with honor and pride. Raising humans is kind of a big deal. I want to be their rock. There are so many things that I have learned along the way, that I want to instill in my kids. But basically I just throw everything that I have at […]
I Am Being Stalked By A Neighborhood Cat
Let me preface this by saying, cats are perfectly lovable creatures. I want nothing but the best for them. I know that you love your cat. Or cats. I am sure that you are snuggling one right now, as you read this post. Maybe the problem is that I have never had a cat. I […]
