How Kidless Friends Can Help New Moms
A new Twitter friend @sara417 posed the following question to me tonight: What can kidless friends of new moms do to be most helpful? Good question! My knee jerk reaction is: don’t judge your friends parenting skills until you have kids of your own. Poor Sara probebly thinks – wow she is rude, but I totally hope it didn’t come off that way! I say this because honestly I was SO guilty of this pre-kids. My husband … Read entire article »

Flawed and I Accept This. Finally.
Monday morning was one to cry over, literally. I had broken my toe Sunday night, hoping it was a minor jam – only for it to continue to swell and exhert PAIN. I woke up, attempted to dress and crawled to the top of the stairs and just cried. The 2 weeks prior had been full of mommy chaos, in addition to this baby growing in my belly. Week 1, E, our 4-year old was … Read entire article »
Digital Mom Review: Labor Mate iPhone App
HEE HEE HO. Prepping for labor is such a FUN THING. It’s one of those things that you really think you know when it will happen, but unless you induce or are a c-sectioner – it’s all up to the MAN UPSTAIRS. Seeing that the last kid I had (who in his defense WAS A WEEK LATE) – only had a 3 hour labor (yes, hate me – but I LOVE that kid) – watching my … Read entire article »

Kids, The Internet and Boundaries
The 6-Year Old Gets a Gmail Account My husband was home with my daughter on President’s Day. I was at work, my phone buzzed – looked down to find an email from my daughter, who’s 6. Her daddy hooked her up with her very own gmail account. How sweet. Until I start getting emails like this: That evening I received 2 emails regarding Z and her new account. My sister in law emailed to inform me that … Read entire article »

36 Weeks Pregnant
Where do I begin. 36 weeks divided by 4 weeks per month = I’ve been pregnant for 9 months. Sorry to tell you folks – that 9 months pregnant you hear of is actually 40 weeks which is 10 MONTHS.

34 Days – But REALLY Who Is Counting?
When are you due? I now respond with the day count. 34 Days! This is my first pregnancy I can honestly say I just want this kid to come when he is due. I have way too much to get done at work and prepping the family for little dude to make an early arrival. I do know by typing this, I might possibly be jinxing him into an early appearance. The kids are just as anxious … Read entire article »

Snow Play
Kevin Carroll at Blissdom taught me the importance of "PLAY". His story is an amazing testiment of how he was able to recognize the meaning of play and has grown his life and career around it. I left his talk inspired. Fast forward to reality. We live in Texas. The weather this winter has been insanely cold and we have our 3rd snowfall of the year. We are usually lucky to have 1 light dusting. Who … Read entire article »
