Today I received a text regarding how much I spend a week on groceries. Always an interesting discussion, to me. I am infinitely curious as to what people spend at the grocery store. It’s a barometer of where we are as a family (am I blowing too much on x, y and z?), but also

Once upon a time, long, long ago….I volunteered. A lot. ” Pre-kids” volunteering in the Junior League, up to 2 kids and still the league and then onto the schools. I enjoyed it. Stepping out of my “box”, helping, guiding, building, painting, serving, I really enjoyed it. Then, along came a couple more kiddos and

Friday is my favorite day of the week and since it’s Thursday night, I’m pretty pumped. And then I’m off to bed. This whole working out at 5 ish a.m. is a bit of an adjustment. Big change from 6 a.m. And even bigger on Tues and Thurs when I get up at 430 a.m.

Taking a cue from my dear friend, D, whose daughters are grown and spread their wings…..one day all this noise and crazy will be over and we will miss it. So, when we have a super crazy day or week or season, I try to remember this. Today it was my mantra. Starting at 5:30

An interesting conversation with a 69 -year-old patient the other day; father to a 17-year-old girl and 3-9 year olds. (You do the math) The theme of the conversation was on protecting our kids. His word: shielding. Same day, extremely disturbing article on kids and porn and their exposure to it and how it is

Rain. Holyyyyyyy COW. We need it. (we always need it, it seems) Man, did it set my morning back. We had a cheer (football) game 1.5 hours away and I wanted/needed to get the grocery shopping done before we left…..because I knew I wouldn’t want to do it AFTER we got home and certainly not

Friday is my favorite day of the week and also a day to recap and join in with Jen and Crew to see how everyone’s week has been going. With this week’s iOs7 update, I thought I’d share a few observations of my 24 hours with it thus far. By far, NO exhaustive tutorial,

Had some time in the shade this morning so I jotted down some thoughts for this week’s Quick Takes with Jen over @ Conversion Diary…I’ll certainly clock in at the bottom of the heap around #75,897,430, but, HEY! It’s a post, right? Top crisis of the week (aside from Hubby’s crazy busy work week and
