Today’s goal is to take a shower.
Moms, we are too hard on ourselves! We don’t need to be all things to all people all the time. We need to pick one small doable goal each day and then go for it. With 4 kids (and especially with the youngest being 5 weeks old), my goals are basic and fundamental, but it […]
Summer’s here…break out the grills!
“Makes me wonder why the smell from a grill can spark up nostalgia…” -“Sumertime” by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince This a line from one of my all-time favorite summer songs and it just rings so true. For me, the smell of a charcoal grill brings back memories of fresh-from-the-fields sweet corn, ice […]
A Madagascar viewing party…sort of
When God hands you lemons…make lemonade. When God puts you on bedrest days before you’re supposed to host a “Mommy Party” to get folks excited about the new Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted movie…well you don’t get to go to your own party. Typical me…I think I can cram everything in before giving birth and life doesn’t […]

Why I became a stay-at-home mom
Our Easter photo this year. The NBC Nightly News crew asked me yesterday why I became a stay-at-home mom and I was a bit stumped. I feel like this “job” chose me…and I’m so glad it did. It’s like I am living a life I didn’t know I wanted until I got it. Now, I […]
Chick-fil-A Debuts New Nutritious Kid’s Meals
I’m no granola girl. I don’t wear birkenstocks and I admit that I don’t buy organic meat. I don’t claim to be a health nut but I do try to feed my kids the four food groups each day and watch their calorie and fat intake. That said, I do like to treat my kids […]
Making memories at a Stone Mountain Christmas
I love Christmas. LOVE it! And being in the South, I thought I couldn’t really experience a traditional Christmas again unless I went home to Wisconsin. But that’s not so! All I have to do is head on over to Stone Mountain Park and seep myself in a Stone Mountain Christmas. My family and I […]
