Update: The winner of the $300 Amazon gift card is Amy Pike. Second and third place go to Renee and Julie. Here’s my then and now. To see the answers for everyone else, look below. I remember 5 things about kindergarten: 1. Riding the bus and one terrifying time I didn’t get off at my…
How did this… …become this? It feels as though it was just yesterday that I was counting your fingers and toes, learning to perfect the swaddle and swaying you to sleep. Now you know all the planets, are learning to read and have strong opinions on where you’d like to go out for dinner. You…
I’ve noticed a lot of first day of school photos popping up on Facebook and Instagram this week. Seriously, where has summer gone? Lucas goes to a year round Montessori school and August 1 marked his first full year as a preschooler. We have come a long way since last summer and I’m constantly amazed…
Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder if my mother would think I was doing a good job raising my son. Not a day goes by that I don’t want to pick up the phone and call my mother to ask her, when I was Lucas’ age, did I do this or that?…

Kristin of What She Said is my guest today. Kristin and I have connected via Twitter and I love her easy going nature. I also love her description of why she writes her blog because her reasons are mine and I wish I was able to articulate myself this beautifully: I write because the emotions…
Everyone in my house has been sick for weeks. Nothing more serious than colds, but the lingering cough has become beyond annoying. Poor Lucas has suffered the longest and I feel terrible for him. His sleep is disrupted and play time hindered. His life would greatly improve if he could only blow his tiny little…
Letters For You will resume next week. Until then, from my home to yours, have a warm, wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday! Look at what Lucas made for me at school ~ swoon ~ The best part? As soon as he gave me this card, he said he needed to make another one and when…
It’s inevitable. Bound to happen, as it does to all of us. For some, it happens sooner rather than later. Much later. I was in the second grade. His name was (and is, we are now Facebook friends) Scott Brewer. Lucas has been in preschool since August and has adjusted very well. He attends three…
