I am a superhero…
I have superpowers. Some days I feel I am the only one in my house that has these powers. I must confess them here. My x-ray eyes are able to see a jacket right in front of said child that needs it.

Our life is not perfect…
It may seem as a blogger we post what we are proud of. Humorous stories. Great pictures. Life staged. Trust me my life is far from perfect. I have dishes in my sink. I have dirt on my carpet. I have dust on my television. I decided to spend the last 24 hours taking pictures of my life. No filter. …

Soccer Fail…
Off to soccer, we go. My husband helps coach so when he said our game was in Northwood I thought no problem. I know how to get there. He wanted me to swing by and pick him up even though it would mean doubling back but family time is worth the gas. So we head driving through small back towns …
