I’ve learned from both Ecclesiastes and The Byrds that there is a time for everything. A time to play, laugh, work, sleep, cry, and as much as I hate to admit it, a time to fold laundry. Time is something we all wish we had more of and once gone, you can’t get it back. …
Recently, we celebrated Mother’s Day, so I wanted to join so many others in giving a very well-deserved shout out to all the wonderful moms out there. Not too long ago, I scrolled through the news headlines on my phone, and clicked on an article about Blake Lively out with her children in New York. …
School is back in swing. Easy as 1.2.3, right? Wrong. I don’t know about you, but it is well into the third week of school, and I have that pop quiz feeling when I wake up, and I am not ready. There is a lot to keep up with. The boys each have folders sent …
Around the middle of June last year, our family decided to go to the beach. It was just our immediate family, and we had all been sequestered for a long, long couple of months. (Think back to the 2020 meme about February having 29 days, March having 300 days and April lasting 5 years.) It …
Given the fact that it’s Mother’s Day and I have a mom blog, I feel a bit of pressure to write a Mother’s Day post. Do not get me wrong. I love to write, and I love to write about my sweet boys (hence the mom blog). But, I feel like I am constantly writing …
My boys are gamers. By that, I mean they know how to work the PS4 and Nintendo Switch better than they know how to use a fork and knife. Maybe an exaggeration but only slightly. While they love their video games, they also love all kinds of games. We play board games routinely and even …
This past Saturday marked the first day of spring. For those of us in North America, this typically ushers in a milder climate with warmer temperatures and seasonal rains that bring forth a whole host of activity. The natural world seems to literally come alive, waking from the peaceful slumber of hibernation, and leaving behind …
This week we celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Across the nation, as we acknowledged “Read Across America Day,” I thought back to when I was a new mom, rocking and reading for so many hours. I remember the books that made my child’s eyes light up and the ones we all knew by heart because we …
Plans. Even the best laid ones can go awry. Some days, there seems to be a big difference in the way I see my day going and the way it ends up. What I wanted to accomplish. All the fun things I thought I would do with my boys. I wake up with great aspirations …
I love that Subaru commercial where the girl is changing a flat tire in the rain. You don’t see him at first, but her father appears just as she finishes and tells her he knew she could do it. As a mom, of course one of my biggest jobs is to be there for my …
