How To Avoid Car Loop Rage.

We have all been there. Sitting in the car loop, waiting to drop off your own kids, behind the world’s most annoying person…the car loop jerk. This person takes his/her sweet time dropping off their child(ren.) They have even been known to get out of the car, which totally negates the purpose of a DRIVE THRU car loop! [...]

I Don’t Have Time To Blog

Funny Mom Blog

I really don’t have time to blog. I have a million other things that I should be doing.  A  few loads of laundry that need folding. A floor that needs mopping. A sponsorship pitch that needs completing. A shower that needs taking. Contracts that need creating and signing. Dishes that need washing. Bills that need [...]

Rebuilding My Relationship With Dad

I’ve written about my dad before. It’s no secret that we have had a strained relationship at times. In fact, our rocky relationship was televised for the world to see a few years back on Supernanny. It has been five years since the show aired and I still get people asking me how things are with my dad. [...]

Close Enough

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. [...]

Guilty of Silence

Anti Bullying

I like silence. I enjoy the few hours that I finally get every day while my seedlings are in school. Silence is beautiful. I beg my children at least once a day, to just be silent for a few minutes and allow me to collect my thoughts. Silence is essential at times. There are times, [...]

I chose not to post about September 11th yesterday. There were a plethora of amazing tributes and remembrances posted. I felt that the world did not need another 9/11 post. Instead, it needs a 9/12 post. God does not promise an easy life. He does not promise a world free of terrorism or pain. Terrible [...]

The Most Valuable Sand In The World

Pulse

Our children are our most precious gifts. Sure we may yell at them for annoying their siblings, get irritated with them for leaving their trash laying around and wish that we could duct tape their mouths some days. But the days when we are reminded of  how fragile their lives are, it puts everything into [...]

Love Is Color Blind

I love that my kids ask questions like this:   Ella: Mom, is my skin brown enough yet? Me: You are very tan, Ella. Ella: But is it tan enough? Me: Tan enough for what? Ella: Tan enough to be Zamya’s sister? I want to go live with her. Me: I’m sure that she loves [...]

Being Me: A Love Story

Kadi Bathing Suit

You are a mom. You are a woman. A sister, a daughter, a business owner, a cook, a wife, a girlfriend and many other things.  Do you allow society or other people to place expectations on you for these roles? Do you allow others to limit which parts of you are fostered so much so [...]

A Mother’s Love

A mother’s love knows no bounds. It suffers all things for the sake of her children. When the child is in pain, so is a mother’s heart. When a child dies, he takes a piece of his mother’s heart with him. When he rejoices, his mother’s heart sings. Mothers may only be physically connected to [...]
