Everything you want to know about Nicole…or don’t.
Last Friday was my son’s 3rd birthday. The next day was when we planned on celebrating with family and friends. I woke up Saturday morning a little behind schedule. I ran around the house trying to get myself and the kids ready. Little did I know my rushing was in vain. My husband, kids, and … Read this post
It seems strange that we are back here again, celebrating another one of your birthdays. Didn’t I just watch you turn 2? But as I look back over the last year, I am overwhelmed by the differences in you. You, my son, are no longer a baby. I guess you already knew that since you … Read this post
You may have noticed that I’ve been M.I.A. over the last week or so. Sure, I’ve been posting some, but not in mu usual fashion. Why, you ask? Don’t know exactly. I’ve been tired (blame it on the baby in my belly). I’ve been distracted (blame it on the baby in my belly). I’ve been … Read this post
My family is a little crazy…and not in that funny-sorta-adorable-eccentric-way (okay, maybe we are a little bit of that) We are also what is known as “dysfunctional,” in every loving sense of the word.

This one goes out to all the mommies out there… To every mom who has sacrificed her body to stretch marks, baby weight, and labor pains.

Every other day he is doing or saying something brand new. Yet, as the birth of this next baby … Read this post
I have always disliked the term “housewife.” Blame it on my background, but it has always sounded a bit like a plantation term. Or it sounds like a woman who is “kept,” bought and paid for, with nothing to do but stay home and stuff her face full of delicacies. I prefer “homemaker.” I do, … Read this post
Over the last almost year, you guys have asked me lots of questions, whether it be in the comments, or via email. I have tried to answer them all as honestly as I can. Sometimes I fear my answers have been inadequate. Sometimes I feel out of my league. Yet, you all have given me … Read this post
I think my kids are two of the funniest people I know. I am constantly surprised by and snorting from their humor. My daughter, the 4 year-old, has been amazingly funny lately. As this this third baby’s arrival gets closer and closer, I am beginning to appreciate my first two kids even more. Every day … Read this post
I’m just warning you in advance, it’s about to get candid up in here (I really hate the expression “up in here” and yet it seemed apropos). Needless to say, I have some confessions to get off my chest. I have some secrets to spill and some dirt to sweep out from under the bed. … Read this post
