I Love You More Than All the Numbers

05/13/2018 Leave a Comment

“I love you more than all the numbers.” That was the response from my adorable four-year-old son, with his oversized cheeks, when I asked him how much he loved Mommy. You see, I am not a woman beneath fishing for a compliment or seeking out words of adoration from others, specifically my children. In fact,…

“Hold on,” she said. “Hold on tight.”

“To find happiness, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, and something to inspire you.” – Bilal Zahoor I heard a country song today in the car that caused me to think. I know, me, think? WOW! No, my brain doesn’t hurt. And yes, I do listen to country…

What About Us? Maintaining An Unbreakable Marriage

08/18/2017 2 Comments

“Us.” Whoa. I haven’t said that word in a while. I guess that is because it’s hard to remember that we are a unit independent of our children. It sure doesn’t ever feel like that, right? But, at the core of our nuclear family, that is what we are – a twosome – acting as…

Why I Am Trying To Raise My Daughter To Be Anything But A Damsel In Distress

08/17/2017 12 Comments

A “damsel in distress”. You never want to be one. You are also probably really sick and tired of seeing them in real-life or portrayed in movies, and you darn sure don’t want your daughter to ever be one. I’ve posted a lot of articles about raising daughters. I have two, and more than anything I…

Momma Knows Best — But What About When She Doesn’t?

08/16/2017 4 Comments

Do any of you parents tell your children “because I said so” or “because I am the parent, not you”. Ugh. I, myself, am so terribly guilty of this. I throw my parent card in my kids’ faces at least five times a day.  Multiply that by three children, which equals an embarrassing amount of…

I’m Baaack…From Facebook Jail That Is

08/14/2017 34 Comments

No exaggeration here. You haven’t heard from me much this past week because yes, I was put in jail…Facebook jail. It is a real thing, and it was pretty much every bit of horrible as I could have expected. And, I never expected it. I didn’t even realize that it existed, but I sure do…

How To Be An Inspiring Woman (When You Are An Everyday Woman)

08/11/2017 7 Comments

I am not completely comfortable describing myself as an “inspiring” woman. Maybe it’s the fact that self-praise, or praise in general, makes me feel slightly uneasy. But, more than anything, inspiring is something that I surely want to be — to my daughters, to my friends, other moms, and really to all people. You know…
