Have you ever felt giddy over getting another stamp in your passport? Have you ever been approached on the street in Yaletown and asked if you needed help with directions, restoring your faith in the kindness of strangers? Have you ever been caught in the rain on Robson Street and laughed so hard you cried?…
While everyone is giving three cheers for surviving their child’s first day of school today, I’m cracking open a cold one, sighing heavily and praising God that I survived my first day back from vacation. Today started way too early and made me wish I had slept more while I was in Cabo San Lucas…
My posts have been sparse and a little on the light side lately. I’ve experienced blog burn out before and taken blogging breaks. I’ve even experienced writer’s block, but this is different. This time it’s personal. Where have I been you ask? I promised myself to take some of the pressure off during the month…
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…
Letters For Lucas and tomorrow’s Letters For You will be on hiatus for a while. SIDE NOTE: Thank you, Momma Kiss for your understanding and my frantic phone call. I am heading to Arizona at this very moment to deal with God knows what. My sister and I still own our parents house in Tucson…

Motherhood can be a roller coaster ride. Each day is different from the last. It is not for the faint of heart or weak stomached. Motherhood is calculating the number of diapers and extra clothes you think you might need knowing no matter how many extras you pack, you will not have enough. Motherhood is…
When I think of vacation, I picture quality time spent in a poolside lounge chair with a great book, a pile of magazines and being served too many cocktails.

I am 39 years old and I have: 1. Jumped out of an airplane (tandem). 2. Been on a safari in Kenya. 3. Climbed a pyramid in Egypt. 4. Gone to the airport to meet friends and family when they’ve had layovers. 5. Lent money to someone and never expected it back. 6. Drank milk…
