Briggy was a sickie yesterday. He woke up on Saturday night with a high fever and an upset stomach. Some type of virus, I guess. He was not himself the next morning. He would not budge from my lap and just wanted to be cuddled. It was cold and windy outside so we nuzzled into [...]

Naaman has another MRSA infection. I was trying to figure out how many this equals. But I’ve lost count. Isn’t that scary? Last month, he had an open sore on his lower abdomen, which healed on its own. But now it’s on his face. We think it started with a small pimple next to his lip [...]

It was a short work week for me with the holiday. But it makes it really hard to go back after my 4-day weekend. I have been feeling very blah and anti-social at work lately. So much so that I go pick something up for lunch by myself and eat it in my car. Alone. [...]

A few of my blog friends have been doing this meme for awhile. I take a lot of photos with my iphone but no one ever sees them so I figured, hey, why not?! Hopefully I’ll be better at remembering which photos were taken on what day. But I can promise nothing. Progress is being [...]

I’m excited. Like, really excited to tell you guys about the change I made this past weekend. I challenged myself to use enough coupons to save $20. Guess what? I DID IT!!! I clipped some coupons of things I knew I needed to buy. Then off I went to the grocery store with two kids [...]

I’ve noticed a trend in the blogosphere. It seems Mondays are reserved for blogging about weight loss. I can support my awesome friends who are on their own journeys to healthy lives but I can’t join in because, well, I don’t need to lose weight. I don’t say that to brag. But I do think [...]

Brigham is sick. Again. I couldn’t tell you the number of times he has been sick. I lost count last year some time. Last Saturday he felt like he was burning up. We checked his temp and it was 101. We gave him a dose of Tylenol. He basically slept all day. I laid him [...]

I remember thinking it to myself. I think every mama-to-be must think these same ridiculous thoughts before their first baby arrives. I will not let myself go. I will not forget about me. I will not move myself to the bottom of the list. Well, shucks. Pop out a couple babies and that’s currently where [...]

I’m a shoe lover. I think it all started with the summer job I got at Baker’s right after graduating high school. I bought so many cute pairs of shoes that summer. My closet was full. My wallet? Not so much. I have always dreamed of owning a really expensive pair of heels. Like, perhaps [...]

Why does it always happen when I have something really important to do? It’s like the pain likes to screw up my plans. On Sunday morning, I woke up with the typical “crick” in my neck. Only I knew it was worse than usual. Nearly six years ago a woman rear-ended me while I was [...]

I'm a working mama to two of the most beautiful and sweet little boys. Landon is 3 1/2 and Brigham is 21 months. Yes, I survived a stint of two under two with a baby who didn't sleep for a year. And if I ever actually realized my dream of walking down the red carpet I'm sure there would be dirt on my dress. I'm just trying not to trip over Tonka trucks. This is where I write, laugh, dream, share, cry, and hope with honesty.
