I think ‘lucky’ is the ONLY was to describe a first visit to the dentist with a three year old that doesn’t include crying, whining, or, my personal favorite – a whole bunch of sass.
I’m not sure what happened. I’d like to credit stellar parenting and say that I prepared Delaney enough so she was [...]

Rain, Rain Go Away
Posted in Challenges, Family, Parenting, tagged Children, Family, Kids, Life, Parenting on March 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I mean seriously. It is raining AGAIN. Delaney is only 3 1/2, but she is trying hard to understand why the clouds have been gray for the better part of the last few weeks. And, while she assures me she likes rain as much as she likes the sun (she doesn’t get that from me) [...]
I just fell in love again
Posted in Cooper, Daddy, Mommy, tagged Children, Daddy, Family, Kids, Life, Love, Motherhood on March 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This is the man I married. I loved him when I said ‘I do’. He sweeps me off my feet and makes me giggle like a little girl. He is a hard worker, a wonderful husband and a best friend.
But, I don’t think there is anything that makes me love my husband more than watching him [...]
Near Misses

Ever had a ‘near miss’ with your kids?
By ‘near miss’, I mean that moment of panic you experience when you realize you almost made a mistake…like you turned your back and suddenly found your toddler standing in the center of your dining room table or your almost 2 year old wants to help empty the [...]
How I know I’m getting older
Posted in Children, Family, Lessons, Mommy, Parenting, tagged Children, Family, Kids, Life, Love, Motherhood, Parenting on March 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The first time I realized I was actually getting older (a realtive term, I know) was back in my mid 20’s. It suddenly occured to me that some professional athletes were actually younger than me. Imagine that….the baseball players, the football players…the Olympic athletes…they were YOUNGER.
Now, I have these ‘growing up’ moments regularly..but it is [...]
Amazement and Awe

Occasionally, but probably not often enough….in between the trappings of everyday ‘Mommy Life’ , I find myself in awe of my children.
They are these two perfect little beings. They run and jump, talk and laugh, cry and assert these amazing little personalities. And Jeff and I actually created them. They are truly little people. It [...]
Yes, I’m grateful again

I have found that keeping these little gratitude lists is bringing a peace to my days. And sometimes, they even make me giggle….since, some of the things I am most grateful for are the things that bring me moments of laughter. (I love to laugh…even though my husband will tell you I am a quiet [...]
Baseball and my baby

It is not unusual to see my sweet baby boy walking around with a bat in his hand. I know, I know, he’s only 1 and a 1/2, but already he swings like a champ and daddy fully expects him to be drafted out of high school in 2024. In fact, I think he’s planning [...]
A Poop accident or the police?
Posted in Challenges, Delaney, Family, Lessons, Mommy, Parenting, tagged Children, Family, Kids, Life, Motherhood, Parenting, Potty Training on March 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I had to ask myself today…what am I more afraid of…my newly potty trained daughter having a ‘poop’ accident in her panties…or getting pulled over and given a speeding ticket?
I opted ticket. We were on our way to Target when this little voice from the back says, “Mommy, I have to poop.” Now, normally, that [...]

Is there ANYTHING better than having the love of your family?
These three people make everything Extraordinary.
I am grateful to have them to love and to be loved.
