Real women wear capes…Mammogram Capes that is! I know, I know…it is not October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  It is, in fact, the dead middle of summer.  With that said I shall continue. Real women wear capes, mammogram capes! My mammogram was due in March. MARCH! That was several months ago. Reasons for delay I am busy I …
Snow day parody…
Twas the first snow day and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even the little girl. Mom snuck downstairs with laptop in hand with hopes to start writing to gain more fans. I open the curtains and what do I see? A world of white waiting for me. A jeep full of snow, a van full …
A Rough Weekend…
I am so thankful for insurance. I know. That is a strange way to start a blog post. But I have never had to think about it before. What seemed like a normal weekend coming was interrupted on Friday morning when Little Girl woke Daddy and me up in tears. She said she did not feel well and was wobbly …
Gymnastic moms…
Gymnastics class. A place for moms and a few dads to sit in absolute quiet (except for the loud talker) and watch our children bend, flip and flop through a large window pane. It is an hour and a half each week where I can sit with my own thoughts (again except for the loud talker) and exhale. Â While …
Things they don’t tell you…
There are things you are not told to expect as a parent. I am here to tell you. Brace yourself. Somethings are pretty harsh. Here they are in no particular order… The tiniest amount of milk in a sippy cup, abandoned in a van, will reek to the point of making said van inhabitable until the offensive …
Evolution of the ride…
Picture it…1988 and I was given my first car. My mom “bought” it for $1 from her boss at work. It was a 1980 Honda Civic. Brown. Two doors. Bad radio. Crank windows. Two speakers in the front. To me it was FREEDOM! But this didn’t phase me. This meant no more walking or riding the school bus. This brown …
I love Jesus but I drive like a jerk…
I have been tracking with Jesus for many years. I teach at a Christian school. I am involved in my local community of believers at a great church. Most of my circle of friends are of the same faith. Needless to say, I am far from perfect but each day I hope to become a better Christian. I do however …
Stage Fort Park
Here we are on term vacation and it is a sunny 58 degrees in February! This should be skiing weather but instead we hit the lovely town North of Boston called Gloucester! A short 90 minute trip from our house. My husband and I used to live in this small town just after we were married. I love to go …
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. …
The perfect mom in the pick up line…
We all know her. That perfect mom. That mom that ALWAYS comes in looking perfectly coiffed. Her hair is never out of order. Her outfit is perfectly matched right down to her accessories. Her children are clean and well-behaved. They have manners. They are just as adorable as she is. Matching outfits at times. Outfits…like things bought together…not just clothes …
