My sons have had some really good teachers in their few years of school. They have taught them the things they needed to know for school, and have given them the tools they needed to succeed in the following year. I have always had so much respect for teachers, because it is a job that […]
Would you say “Yes”?
“Are you a Christian?” were the last words some of the students in Oregon at Umpqua Community College heard on that heart breaking day, as a gunman took over their school. If they answered “Yes, I am a Christian” they were shot, and for 8 students and 1 teacher that meant the end for them […]
Welcome to my organized mess.
Soon after having my first son I realized that one of the perks of being a stay at home mom consisted of some really amazing play dates, where friendships would grow and memories would be made. I loved these play dates. Some times they were the highlight of my week. It was not only time for […]
There’s always next weekend
I know “mommy wars” is a hot topic right now and I try to avoid writing articles about these types of things, because frankly most of them annoy me. But after being in my sons preschool drop off line it became very clear to me why this term “mommy wars” even exists. As I stood […]
Because Today You Turn Two…
Last night I put you to bed and you were still only 1 years old. Yes you may have been 1 year and 364 days old… but I was still able to tell myself “She’s still only one years old”. But this morning, when I walked into your room and saw your sweet smile shine […]

Kindergarten Wings
Last year around this time I remember being so nervous for the upcoming school year. My baby boy was headed off to Kindergarten and no part of me was ready. I had dreaded this day since he was a tiny baby asleep in my arms and I saw a back to school commercial come on […]
“Toughen up”
“Toughen up”, “Stop being a baby”, “Try and be brave”, “Is this really something to cry about?” How many times have we said these things to our kids? Usually we mean well, we are even looking out for them most of the time, thinking we always know best and if they just tried a little […]
And The Award Goes To…..
Friday was the Flag day celebration at my sons school. When we pulled up to the school the whole parking lot and bus loop were lined in small flags.. It looked pretty amazing. My kids giggled with excitement, seeing all those flags blowing in the wind. It really set the tone for our very first flag […]
