I’ve shared tips and told you how *I* do thing. I told how we managed to save money by getting two gallons of milk out of one gallon. I showed you how *I* learned to take off lids with one hand. I’ve shown you tools that have helped me along the way, ways I’ve learned [...]
every challenge is worth it
When you have a handicap life can be difficult. When you are making choices to change the lives of, not only you and your spouse, but the most important people to ever take breath life can be brutal. In one situation the cause is out of your control. All you can hope to do is [...]
they grow so fast
How did this happen? They were just babies. I have the proof. They are going to be amazing adults if the outstanding kids they have become is any sign of things to come. Every day I get to spend with them is more precious than the last. *OOOF* my heart
stealing moments
I have a history of grand larceny. I stupidly shoplifted when I was a teenager. You know, the stealing on chap stick when you have money in your pocket. Let’s not even talk about the early 90′s. I was a walking after-school special. When I was a new mother I learned the horror of lifting the baby out [...]
it can hurt but make you stronger
Things hurt. My leg. My foot. My arm. My hand. My jaw. My heart. My spirit. My soul. Some pains go away. Some are forever. The scars go deep and last a life-time. Things there are no cure for, you learn to live through. But you do learn to live. You survive. It strengthens you.
as dave matthews said, crash into me
I have these moments where my world collide. The me that blogs and talks to crowds of people circles the me that wears my pajama pants to the store. The me that plays social media roulette circle the me that once had coffee with other parents of very sick kids. Sometimes the worlds crash headfirst. [...]
you deserve it
A friend said you can never attain perfect. You shouldn’t even try. Be whole. Be complete. Be in great shape for the shape you’re in. It took a lot of tearing down walls and getting past surface highs to find the deep-down bone happiness. I deserve that. And it’s something I find sharing with my [...]
the sounds of silence
The shades block the sun from bringing me into full consciousness. I can hear breaths that tell me the day’s insanity hasn’t yet started. I snuggle deeper into the arms of drowsy peace. There are dreams that taunt from the edges of reality. Don’t wake up. Don’t do it. “Mommy? You awake?” DAMN.
leave a message at the beep
I’m here in Florida with the kids and Jackie. The girls have swam. The boy has seen “Hunger Games” with friends. I got to play a little catch-up with the faces I haven’t seen without the power of the monitors between us. I have learned to love Georgia. The friends I’ve made. The life I’ve [...]

Invisalign Teen Celebrities: then my daughter’s head exploded in a shower of glitter
Trying out Invisalign aligners as the mom of a teen wearer has been a different challenge from having them as an adult. As if you need reason besides the nearly invisible appearance and the ability to remove them WHENEVER, Invisalign now has a group of Teen Celebs that are singing their praises. Or I guess texting their praises. [...]
will I see you in Florida?
During the trip to Florida next week there a ton of people I’d love to see or meet but a limited amount of time. So, to make it super easy for us to get together I’ve planned a meetup in Brandon (near Tampa). Now, you’re definitely invited even if this is the first time I will get [...]
