Skinny by Summer
One of the things I said many times in my early unexpected pregnancy was that with the baby due in February, I’d be “skinny by summer.” Well, it’s summer, and I’m not yet what I would call skinny. But, seriously, I’m not really the skinny type. I like to be healthy and strong, and have […]
Flying Solo
It’s a rare night in the Roberts house. It’s not my usual summer fare to be home on a Friday night. The kids enjoyed a movie earlier with Daddy’s popcorn. I swear, the man makes the best popcorn around. It’s a treat for all of us, every time. Luke isn’t so lucky yet, as you […]
This Is How I Do It
I have a confession to make. I don’t even know where my real camera is. I might as well keep going… I am way behind on organizing photos, and let’s not even talk about the kids’ scrapbooks. There has been clean laundry stacked in my glider rocker in my bedroom for weeks. I’ve been digging […]
Five Years of Sweetness
I see a fire in this boy that tells me he’s going to make positive changes. It’s not an inferno or a flicker, but something in between. It’s a slow, steady burn. Today is Maxwell’s fifth birthday. I still smile when I remember how hard I fought for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) during […]
Take Me Out
Every now and then, life reaches a fever pitch. Nothing major is happening in my corner of the world, but I can’t catch up, can’t get enough sleep, can’t feel like all is well. (But it is.) This week brings seven ballgames. Yes, seven. Lily (and her cousin Julia) are rocking it out on the […]
Summer State of Mind
I’m not the kind of person that can come home to a messy house after work and flop onto the porch swing. I leave this house nearly everyday in a blaze of glory. That is to say, if I can get most of what we need, my four kids and myself out the door, I […]
Love in Child Form
It’s been said that babies are a wonderful way to start people. It’s true. Babies are really wonderful. I’ve always been a baby person. As one of the older grandchildren, I spent many nights with my aunts and their newborns. At 14, I mothered like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve always found my peace in babies, […]
Happy Birthday, Dear Blog!!
Yesterday was my birthday, but today it’s the blog’s turn. Happy 1st birthday, baby blog!! You’ve grown so much in one short year. It’s a celebration, to be sure, that this blog is still kicking, still claiming its real estate on the World Wide Web. It will not fall to exhaustion, depression or disrepair. “These […]
Sweet Summertime
We’re still quite worn out from the weekend, so here are a couple of snaps and updates of the kiddos to keep you company until Momma finds her words…. Our girl finished up school today! She was named one of first grade’s star students AND the best “girl citizen” in her class! We are so […]
