Chronicles of A Stay At Home Mom Who Is So Not That Mom
It was one of those every day moments. At least it seemed like it until a fellow mom, a complete stranger, stopped me in my tracks and talked some sense into me. We were at the American Girl store celebrating my little girl’s birthday. I was squatting down to take her picture so we could commemorate… [Read More]
My husband did the unthinkable. He actually planned a spontaneous, surprise vacation for the two of us right down to the dinner reservations each evening. He even made sure the kids were taken care of it so I wouldn’t have to stress over it! You can read about the agonizing month of hint dropping,… [Read More]
Today my youngest followed her big brothers off to school for the first time. After all the school shopping, pep-talks, and a million “I’m so excited for you!”s…today was finally the day. That bus pulled up and I watched all three of them climb on and ride away from me. I guess you never really… [Read More]
Legend has it, his first words to my mom when I was born were, “Well…you got your girl.” Clearly he had no idea just how awesome it was going to be having me for a daughter. He has always picked me up when I was down…or when there was too much snow for me… [Read More]

I was a dancer. From the time I was 6 years old…I just danced. My dance studio became my second home. I spent more hours of my week with dance friends than I did with school friends. My first kiss was at one of my dance recitals. (Incidentally, our relationship didn’t go anywhere. Turns out,… [Read More]

A local radio host, Keri Noble, wrote yesterday about the Boston Marathon bombings: “There are no words, but it feels strange to say nothing.” Profound words on a profoundly sad day. Another one of those days when you turn on your computer and your heart sinks at what you’re seeing. Another incident that sparks anxiety… [Read More]
Before I was a mom… I thought I knew who I was. I was wrong. Before I was a mom…My house was clean. Before I was a mom…I showered on my own schedule and I never had an audience while going to the bathroom. Before I was a mom…I was never going to let… [Read More]
