It’s a question I ask myself daily. Everytime I see a puddle of spilled milk getting crusty from sitting on the floor and being ignored by all seven of our kids. Everytime I put on jeans and they fit a tad more snug than the last time I wore them. Everytime I look in the [...]

Mamavation Monday: Saddlebags and Cellulite

Happy Halloween! Are you all ready to scarf down some candy tonight? Sadly, I will not be doing so this year. I have been feeling like crap these past few weeks and it has caused me to take a good look at my habits. I admit to loving junk food and HATING exercise. I have [...]

Daniel Jr was close…thisclose…to earning his cell phone. He wants one bad, so bad that he can taste it. When progress reports came home from school last week, I could see how painful it was for him to hand me his. He had four A’s and one B+. The deal we made required all A’s. [...]
