Motherhood brings out the lioness in me. No task is too small or sacrifice too great to ensure the well being of my three children. In my mind’s eye I can see myself jumping in front of an on-coming train [...]
Working Towards a Successful Co-parenting Relationship
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Friday I got an email from my son’s 4th grade teacher. In it, she wrote, “By the way, I respect the way you and Matt work together on Christian’s behalf! He is lucky to have two parents that care so much!” I immediately sent Matt, my son’s father, a text message relaying the compliment and [...]
I Love Having Teenagers
Friday, March 5th, 2010I can’t tell you the number of people, who when I tell them that I have teenagers, say things like “Wow that must be tough” or “Good luck you will need it”.

We weren’t trying to deny Brennan of his trust light saber; we were just [...]

Sunday, February 14th, 2010“Stop running!”
“Get out of the water!”
“Stop climbing on that!”
Sound familiar?
If you are anything like me, even with my best intentions to make sure my son hears plenty of “Yes’s,” he still get his shares of “no’s” and “stop that.” Probably more than I would like to admit.
Yesterday we arrived at Disney World…the happiest place on [...]
In a blink of an eye
Friday, February 5th, 2010It is amazing to me how quickly life goes by. I know that there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, but why does time go by in a blink of an eye? I know that there are 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year, but [...]
