Progress
It’s been nearly a year and half since I’ve checked in here. I’m still in love with my hubby, the kids are growing, and new memories are made everyday. Life is good. Yesterday I had a birthday. I’m 37. I have to say that I have fond memories from 7, 17 and 27, so I […]
Snapshot
My twenty-third anniversary of journaling and the third birthday of this blog passed rather quietly last week, a day after my birthday. I kept thinking I would write, but time is so fleeting. I have been wasting post ideas by not letting them grow anywhere but inside my head. And, sometimes, it can’t be helped. […]
New Beginning
Tonight, I write. I’ve missed blogging the last couple of nights. I’ve been celebrating birthdays–mine and this blog’s–and the anniversary of my journal-writing. So I’m 34. I’ve been keeping a journal for 22 years and blogging for two. Pretty amazing. Actually, maybe pretty amazing that I’ve done anything else. Oh, but I have. My actual […]
From the Couch
Our baby turned one yesterday. He hit a major milestone just two days before his birthday with his first wobbly, adorable steps! It is a very fun time to be mom of this little, ornery, happy boy. His personality is shining bright, and he fits right in with this group of monkeys! We’ve had so […]
Better People
I had a fantastic weekend with my birthday girl and my family at the center. I lived in the moment, I celebrated my blessings. I saw the good in all things. In doing all of this, I was struck by the fact that my little girl has grown into a wonderful person. She’s funny and […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Blessing of a Girlfriend
Today is my best girlfriend’s birthday. Happy Birthday, baby girl! I am thankful that 31 years ago a four-pound preemie made her early entrance into this world. I’m thankful she was a fighter and did well and grew up to play saxophone with me in the band. Saxes are sexy! I’m so thankful for all […]
Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!
Miss Lilith turned seven today. My baby, my first baby and my only girl, is seven. I can’t tell you how the last seven years have changed me, how I have become the person I was supposed to be by becoming a mother. I can’t tell you how many kisses I’ve given and been given, […]
