You know that birthday boy I just posted about earlier this week? He made his mama proud yet again. T’s sense of right and wrong and his need to stick up for the underdog amazes me and was shown once again this week. The Dad of a little girl came up to me this… Continue Reading
My Mom Win moments are precious to me and one of my goals is to celebrate the positives, even if they are small or may not feel like a win to anyone else, so I’m sharing… A Mom Win is when I think – Wow, I may be doing a good job here. Most days I… Continue Reading
My middle child, my son, is 9 today. Could it really have been 9 years ago already when I saw and held him for the first time? All 9lb 4oz of him. Wow, it goes fast. Did anyone feel the breeze from the wings of time as it flew by? I have been amazed and… Continue Reading
I learned a TON about gardening when I reviewed Urban Gardening for Dummies via my relationship with Global Influence. I was actually surprised how much I got out of it.

Chores Wars: The back and forth negotiating, eye rolling, foot stomping (both mine and theirs), and aggravating battle between parents and kids regarding doing chores without being hounded until the end of time.

Thanks to Disney, Walmart and Glidden, Chloe’s room is getting a make over!! I don’t know who is more excited about being picked to be a Disney Paint Mom – Me or Chloe.
