When Things Don’t Go As Planned
Well, once again, this is not the post I intended to write tonight. Nope, not at all. That seems to be the theme lately: not doing what I expected to be doing. That was certainly the case last week on vacation. Did I expect to spend the first three days in the rain? Nope. I […]
I Didn’t Rock Motherhood Today.
This is not the post I intended to write tonight. Nope, not at all. I thought that I would sit down, surrounded by peace and quiet of four boys sleeping and the lingering smell of the beach woven in my hair and write about one of the many huge insights I had while away on […]

If I Were a Kid….
504 days of loving more! “Mommy, what time do you go to bed?” Before I even answered with, “oh, normally 10:00 ish” I stopped and thought, “why was my son asking me this? This is odd.” Then it dawned on me. I knew the genesis behind this seemingly innocent question; he was trying to figure […]
{Sometimes} I Choose Dishes Over my Kids, and That’s Okay.
502 days of loving more! I like to be productive. There, I said it. I like to cross things off my to-do list. Notice I say my to-do list, because yes, the list normally is all about me. This list often includes: clean the kitchen, send emails, call friends, and organize playroom. You know, things […]
“Unproductively Productive”
495 days of loving more! I had a really good dose of “self-loathing” going on Friday night. We had just returned from dinner out to celebrate #2 graduating from pre-school. Theoretically, I should have been in a really fantastic, upbeat, yeah life is great mood, right? I mean hearts and roses and rainbows should have […]
