Okay folks. I'll be honest. Football season isn't what it once was to me. Back in the college days, I was lucky enough to attend USC during the glory days...the years of back to back championships and Heisman trophy winners. And I suppose because I really like winning (or is it that I hate losing), it's been tough for me to get into[...]
At least two days a week I get all teary-eyed while I watch parents warmly embrace their children at the front gates of school as I pick up Wesley in the afternoon. I watch the same routine every day. Parents pull up to the curb, exit their car, readjust their jackets and scarves, put their hands in their pockets and anxiously await[...]

Here are some pictures and simple recipes from the day. I ordered these fabulous cards from this etsy shop. Big brother, Landon, enj[...]
Waiting on the trash man...his favorite day of the week. A wise person I know recently pointed out a defense mechanism I exercise a bit too frequently. Self criticism. Putting myself down before others get the chance to. Nothing too serious. It’s not like I hate myself. It’s more like I’m trying to pro[...]
There have been so many times that I have worked so hard to find the words to describe the emotion that completely overcame me when I held my boys for the very first time--the words for when I became a mother. Every time I try to write it down the words seem to have escaped me. I go back and read it to myself and think "no, there'[...]
