I wanted another baby, but got a puppy instead. I have often wondered what the hell I was thinking! Lucas helped name him Charlie Pasta. This dog. This beautiful dog and I first locked eyes when Charlie was just 23 days old. Back then he was named Logan (he is so NOT a Logan). He…
I gave up my beloved Diet Coke and did a three day juice cleanse a couple of years ago and loved everything about it, but I’ve been in need of a refresher. Enter: The Smoothie. It all started with a pin I found on Pinterest (doesn’t everything?), which led me to a blog post, which…

1. Looking at photos of my wedding day. Not only were my parents there, but also some of my favorite people in the world plus, it was the day I married my best friend (not to be confused with the best friend I mention in #9). 2. Anytime it’s just me and Lucas in the…
Last year, Natalie of Mommy of a Monster and I did a fun linky to share your Santa photos. We had planned on doing it again this year, but I totally dropped the ball. Sorry, Natalie! I’m glad Mama Kat included it as one of this week’s Writing Prompts. Here is a retrospect of Lucas’…

Let me first preface this post by saying I am not the craftiest mom on the block and I have burned rice at least TWICE, but I can usually follow instructions. Pinterest, while it may be somewhat of an obsession for me, (I have pinned over 5000 things) it mostly makes me feel inadequate about…
Lucas is asleep after a busy morning of swim lessons and errand running. Charlie Pasta is napping at my feet. My gentle typing reminds me that I am on borrowed time. I know school is out because children whiz by on the sidewalk on skateboards, scooters and bicycles chattering at one another. Cars drive down…
I have been so down in the dumps lately with our infertility journey coming to a much needed break (for now) and the recent damage I’m having to deal with at my parents house that when I saw Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop prompts for this week, I couldn’t help but pick #1: Share one good…
It’s been a while since I participated in a Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop, but I have had the best intentions each week as I review the topics. It’s one of my all time favorite link-ups and always gets my creative writing juices flowing. This post was written for Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop Prompt 1.) Share…
