When I was a mom with young kids I remember different times when I thought "phew, we crossed the finish line!" Times like these: both kids finished with diapers! Both kids finished with naps! Both kids in full time school! Both kids sleeping in on the weekends! These are monumental times as a mom with young kids when you think, hooray I made it to the finish line.

Letting Go of Control
Recently I brought my daughter to a scrap-booking retreat with me. Normally these events are reserved for some "me" time, but my friend and I decided to bring our daughters with us. I kept trying to print ouy photos that week to have ready for her to scrap, but for some reason it failed over and over. So we were left to just bring the photos we already had in our box. The dilemma was … [Read more...] about Letting Go of Control
200 + Friends??? Seriously???
When I first heard about Facebook, I didn't understand what it was about. I only "joined" because I wanted to see my friend's profile and to do that you have to be a member.

Spring has sprung!
What a wonderful month April is. The wild flowers are in full bloom, the windows are open, the days are longer and the kids are happier. We really enjoy spring here in Spring, Texas. This month I wanted to focus on laughter. I have chosen to intentionally add more laughter into my life and wanted to challenge you to do the same.

Time to Go!
Today I dropped my kids off at school and came home, rolled up my pajama sleeves and got busy! I pulled out a big trash can and started in the pantry. Next I moved to the famous "junk drawer" and my goodness, junk it was! I didn't even think twice, just kept filling up the trash can. Next on to the junk-drawer-overflow-drawer! Come on, seriously? Then onto the two utensil drawe … [Read more...] about Time to Go!
