  • Little Sinners – Big Grace

    I haven’t done a blog post in a while, mainly because I just don’t have time. Except recently I was blessed with severe insomnia – so now, I have 12 hours while the kids are asleep to do anything I want! Blog it is. You’re welcome! So, With this blog, I decided to share something…

  • Word Vomit and Cliches

    Tonight I decided it’s been a few months since I’ve written a blog (6 months) and perhaps it’s time. I do this from time to time when I’m completely overwhelmed by my own thoughts and emotion. I do this because sometimes when I just have word vomit – I see clarity. You see, the last…

  • NOT “Another girl with daddy issues”

    I haven’t formally written a blog in a while. I think about things to write about, come up with ideas and topics and will write things on my iPad or phone. Most of these things are SO personal and I’m not quite ready to share with the world, so they sit there, tucked away for…

  • A Letter To My Heathcare Provider

    A letter to my health care providers – Aids, techs, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physicians and anyone in between … As a nurse or anyone in the medical field…we aren’t ignorant.

  • Abigail…”At Least She Doesn’t Have Cancer”

     My initiation into motherhood was a challenge to say the least….This all started five years ago when Abigail was born. What started out as what we thought to be a simple bilirubin issue turned out to be something that would change my life. Abigail didn’t just have newborn jaundice. It just wouldn’t go away. It…

  • My Kids Are Spoiled, I Am Stressed….And I Love It.

    My Kids Are Spoiled, I Am Stressed….And I Love It.

    I have to confess, I am stressed and busy and my kids run every aspect of my life …and I love it. When I delivered Benjamin, I had a broken leg which left me unable to walk or put any weight on it at all. So, I sat in my bed mostly, or on the…

  • Never Say Never

    Never Say Never

    This is sort of a long post, but I think there are some valid points which I would like to share with my friends and others who haven’t had children yet and are in the stage of life where you are all judgy-mc-judgerton.  I was really thinking tonight as I sat in the passenger seat of my…

  • I love them more when they sleep

    I love them more when they sleep

    This morning, as I am up before the sun I have some thoughts I want to share. I am currently sitting in my bed, holding my almost 7 week old close to my chest nursing him.  Ironically I stumbled upon another blog by a woman who lost her son. Every time I read blogs like…

    #IWOKEUPLIKETHIS

    I’ve been thinking a lot lately about life and how it is portrayed. Women are the worst at comparing ourselves continuously to others. We as women care way too much about every aspect in our lives and how it appears to everyone else. It is like we NEED approval from every other female we will…

  • Add it to my resume, I have become a Blogger….

    I’m not sure how to even start this post. To state the obvious, I have decided to start a blog. Really a blog about nothing – yet everything at the same time. I, by no means will be the blogger that is famous, gets tweeted about or gets posts read on the Ellen show or…
