Two years and another child later, this post originally published on May 24, 2008 reminds me not much has changed. Anyone who knows my 2-year-old, Dillon, knows that I have my hands full. He, in my totally biased opinion, has an amazing personality and is so cute I could bite his nose right off his [...]

the best laid plans…
It’s twenty days until the 2010 Moms’ Run and I’m trying not to hyperventilate. There’s something about planning a major event that is very fulfilling… it’s amazing to see all the hard work come together and take on a life of its own. But that’s also what’s so scary about it. Doing something so big [...]

“if today was your last day”
I completely forgot what I set out to blog about today when I read Sherri’s comment on my last post. Sherri lost a child 10 years ago, a heartbreaking reminder to always be present, to live fully in the precious moments we are given. I aspire to keep my eyes open in the “now”, while [...]

go geeks!
I learned some hard lessons last week. When I get really busy, stressed and rushed, I make really BIG mistakes. Like, do a complete system restore on my computer to fix a bug… a restore that returned my computer back to the factory settings. Which would have been fine IF I had properly backed-up my hard drive (which [...]

erased
I have no love for the computer right now, which is ironic because here I sit. This week, I permanently deleted (accidentally) the video files from baby Blake’s first three months of life. What struck me was the extreme sense of loss I felt… there’s no way I can go back and recreate those moments. I have [...]

station 35
Today is my birthday. This weekend, I celebrated with my family. I made a wish when I blew out the candles, and I ain’t gonna lie, it will be totally awesome if (when) it comes true. But today, I say a prayer of gratitude. I ask for nothing. Where I am today, in this stage [...]

Stay gold, ponyboy
When I was in middle school, some of my best girlfriends became obsessed with the movie The Outsiders. It was actually this scene,where Ponyboy recites Robert Frost’s poem, Nothing Gold Can Stay. So as children, we made a pact to remind each other to Stay Gold. What’s amazing, is that these girls are still some [...]

Wii Will Rock You
Have I told you about my obsession with Guitar Hero? Our friends’ 7-year-old son got a Wii for his birthday, and ever since Guitar Hero was added to the collection of games, we (all the adults) have pretty much taken over. Even though I know sharing is the nice thing to do, Guitar Hero has [...]

What children teach us
Anyone who knows my 2-year-old, Dillon, knows that I have my hands full. He, in my totally biased opinion, has an amazing personality and is so cute I could bite his nose right off his face. But, many times, I think I love him best when he is sleeping. I expend so much energy trying [...]
