You know that thing they call the “corporate ladder”? Well, I just stepped off of it and got onto the “Mommy Ladder”. I resigned from my job on Thursday. After six months of working myself to the point of utter physical and mental exhaustion I decided I had had enough. Most people would probably … ... [Read more...]

Does anyone else have major trouble dealing with change? I remember back in 2003 when I decided to leave my safe job to try my hand as a wedding coordinator at a local venue. I was so nervous about it that I broke out in hives for a week! I usually get very anxious about the future. But lately I’ve … ... [Read more...]

Something scary happened on Wednesday. I went to the bathroom, which I do every 10 minutes it seems, only this time there was blood. I was at work so I tried to stay calm but everything in my brain was screaming “OH MY GOD, NO!” I called Naaman who told me to call the doctor. The doctor was very … ... [Read more...]

Well, this crazy weekend is over. I coordinated my Cousin Tim’s wedding and I can proudly say, it went off without a hitch. I am very happy that Tim found someone who will always be there for him.

I feel compelled to post this information because it has been on my mind for the past couple of days. I heard about Jennifer Ireland’s story on Mix 93.3 and immediately went to her blog to read about what she and her family are going through. I don’t think I was prepared for what I was about to … ...

We recently had a round of the sickies go through our house. First, Sawyer started vomiting. Then it hit Brigham. And last, Landon got it. With low-grade fevers and a quick recovery, I am thankful we were able to manage it at home. It’s always disheartening to see your children sick. We can feel so … ... [Read more...]
