I’m sure you’re familiar with the term “control freak”. Either you know one, or you ARE one. I’m more of a B-type personality, taking things in stride, so I never considered myself to be someone who needs to be in control. As of late, I’ve seen certain aspects of myself that are more controlling than […]
I’m (P)interested
Ah, Pinterest, the app of hopes and dreams… all pinned away for future use. Or not. Lest you think I’m bashing Pinterest, let me assure you that I am not. I LOVE the app. I remember how excited I was when I first discovered it; it fulfilled all of my compulsive needs to squirrel away […]
A Mother’s Day Thank You To Single Moms
Mother’s Day is soon approaching, and I know that when I wake up tomorrow morning, my family will put their all into creating a lovely breakfast for us to celebrate the day with. There will be handmade cards covered with precious childish scribbles, perhaps a token gift, and lots of hugs and kisses. And this […]
Running Down A Dream
As a former athlete, I used to love working out in all forms. I say used to, because after the birth of my first child, my physical activity was pretty much limited to lifting small children up and down, and hauling endless loads of laundry up and down stairs. Suffice to say, it’s been a […]
Word For Wednesday- Pause
The word “pause” is a very familiar term. In my house, pause usually represents either the button I hit on the TV remote to (loudly) announce that dinner is ready. That’s for the younger kids. For my older crew, I pause the house’s internet access, which flushes the older kids out of hiding in all […]
Food For Thought
I remember how I first learned of Peapod grocery delivery service; I was working in an office, and my employer mentioned that his wife, a SAHM of four, was expecting a grocery delivery. I distinctly remember thinking, “Groceries, delivered? La-dee-fricking-da, rich people!” Then I became a SAHM myself, of many people, and began a weekly […]
Fantastic Finds- PlanAhead Mom Organizer
One of the first things that people ask me when they find out that I’m a mother of six kids is, “How do you DO it?!” There are a lot of fun responses to this question, but the reality is, with six kids, maintaining a strong hold on our schedule can be challenging. While I […]
Word For Wednesday- Patience
PATIENCE Patience is one of those words that when you’re told to have it, chances are you lose it. There are many situations that I have no issue with being patient for/in. I don’t get worked up standing on an endlessly long line in a grocery store. I have no problem waiting on hold during […]
Fantastic Finds- Breakups To Makeup Bags
TGIF, everyone! As a “mom blogger”, I often receive emails inviting me to review a relevant product. In many cases, I’ve declined, because the product simply wasn’t something I was interested in. I like to keep my blog content honest and real, yet also have a genuine interest in sharing my no-holds-barred opinion on products […]
Keep Calm & Car-ry On…
You know the expression, “Man plans, and God laughs”? I think God’s done a LOT of laughing regarding my tendency to try & control circumstances that simply can’t be controlled. My typical reaction to unexpected or stressful situations is to quickly compile a mental list of all the reasons that THIS particular event is ruining […]
