The Beginning Of The End Of 2012

I have committed the cardinal sin of blogging! I guest posted last week (LAST WEEK!!) and failed to blog about it here. In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been doing much here. We are at the beginning of the end of 2012 and I am so not where I had hoped to be. On…

Happy Sighs

Apart from spending time with my husband, son, puppy and friends, and maybe reading and working out, the thing that makes me the happiest is listening to Dave Matthews Band. In fact, there was an amazing moment on my recent trip to Mexico when “#41″, my favorite DMB song came on while a small group…

How I Met Your Father

I love learning how couples met and I’m honored that Rach of Life Ever Since invited me to share my story in her So, How’d You Meet? series. Today is a special day in another way too; it marks what would have been my parents 43rd wedding anniversary and to me their marriage was one…

If I Could Turn Back Time

At 18 we think we know it all. At least I sure did and as it turned out, as it does with most 18 year olds, I didn’t know a damn thing. If I could go back and read a letter from my future self, here’s what it would say: There will be loss, disappointment…

On The Move

This August we will have known each other for 21 years. That’s a long time to be friends with someone. But even the best of friendships wane and things go left unsaid and feelings are hurt, opinions are expressed and lines all crossed. We suffer and vent in silence and before we know it, it’s…

Things They Can’t Say

I share a lot here but not everything and sometimes there is a post that is better suited for somewhere else. It’s too raw and personal. The last month of my life has been an emotional roller coaster and taxing physically as we just completed our second (unsuccessful) round of IVF. Shell’s invitation to be…

Proud Mommy Moments

Almost 28 months into this mommy gig and Lucas has single-handedly made angrier than I’ve ever been, tried my patience in ways I didn’t think were possible, made me happier and than I ever believed I could be and has had me bursting with pride, joy and love. On this roller coaster ride, he is…

Two Places At Once

Today is a very big day for me! I am in two places at once…. I’m hanging out with Devan at Accustomed to Chaos talking about Letters For Lucas and blogging in general AND I’m in Jessica’s (Four Plus an Angel) Hot Seat!  Please stop by and to say hi! These are both wonderful women…
