When I started blogging, I never intended to take my readers into the trenches of my life as a not-so-Supermom. Yet in my last post, that’s clearly what I did.
My oldest son just turned four, and he warms my heart and breaks it every single day. I can’t come to terms with how fast everything [...]

silly, seussy, slacker mom
You may be wondering where I’ve been all week. Or if you’re like me, you’re completely unaware a whole week has passed. Tuesday, I drove to Columbia to give a talk to the Greater Columbia Area Mothers of Twins. The next thing I knew, it was Friday morning.
That’s when I remembered I was supposed to [...]

four years ago today…
… I was lying in a hospital bed, playing cards with my best friend, taking bets on the size and weight of my baby boy. At 11:46 pm, Dillon arrived weighing in at 6 pounds, 10 ounces and 20 inches long. I can’t remember who won the bet.
I can remember how magical it felt to [...]

the generation of choice
I had a wonderful telephone conversation with my grandmother recently. The surface of small-talk was broken, and suddenly we were chatting candidly about how different it is today.

no regrets
People want to know if we’re done having kids. This week, I answer that question (indirectly) over at Hybrid Mom. I’ll let you in on something… the essay isn’t really about whether there’s a minivan in my future. It’s about having no regrets. It’s about having things in our lives that are “worth it” no [...]

you have to believe to receive
Here’s a little story I shared over at Robin’s and Jodi’s blog this week, as part of our “holiday memories blog tour.” As I recalled a special time in my childhood, I couldn’t help but think about Charlie Brown’s angst that Christmastime was too commercial. On this Black Friday, as the official shopping season begins, [...]

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 I [...]

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 [...]

perspective
This week I was taught, once again, the value of perspective. When I find myself really stressed out and totally confused, it usually means I have lost sight of the bigger picture. I get so bogged down in the tiny details of my circumstances I can’t see my way out.
About a year ago, I wrote [...]

What are your superpowers?
We all have superpowers. For example, I have a crazy memory. I can remember being two years old. People don’t believe me, but it’s true. Recently, I took a quiz posted on Denise Turner’s blog, which concluded that I am Wonder Woman. Click here to read Denise’s hilarious post (she’s Green Lantern) and find out [...]
