Most days my child looks like this. Ridiculous grins, full of joy all around pleasant to be around. The key word in the above statement is MOST. It seems more and more frequently this little boy is showing up. Now I love this little boy just as much as the happier one but I must tell you, … [Read more...]
Shopping Sense
My circumstances as of late have made shopping a bit of a task. For starters I have two kids now one of which is a newborn. I have yet to attempt a solo Target trip with both of them because honestly they would fill the cart, where would I put my items? Secondly it's the middle of winter here in the … [Read more...]

Delayed
Perception can be a funny thing. What do you see when you look at this picture?I see a perfectly happy healthy little boy.

On Becoming a Hermit
Today was...an adventure...to say the least. I remember standing at the counter three months ago at Chase's 15 month well check, waiting to make his 18 month appointment. I remember thinking, how convenient, just as he will be coming back it will be time to bring in the baby for her two week … [Read more...]
