Twizzler celebrated his 11th birthday on Monday. It’s unbelievable to me that he is so old. I’m guessing that the fact that my third child – and oldest BOY – is so close to middle school and (gasp!) puberty is a sure sign that I am indeed old, too. Since he wanted to be with [...]

We celebrated a birthday in the family this week and decided to make a new recipe instead of the same old birthday cake. My oldest daughter found this dessert on Pinterest (I believe she has even more pins than I do) and we followed the recipe to TasteofHome.com. We modified it a little – specifically, [...]

Yesterday, I shared my second Million Moms post. It has been many years since I was in a hospital delivering a baby, but in writing this post this week, I think I finally found closure. And peace. Did your child’s birth go the way you hoped it would? The moment that I held my oldest [...]

Yesterday I turned 37. Who would have known that 37 would be my best birthday in years? It started out like just about any other Saturday: soccer, soccer, and a little bit of flag football thrown in there. My only complaint about the team sports this week was that I wasn’t able to sleep in [...]

I made it through the week blogging about my daily activities with Adventuroo! Friday was an incredibly busy day, but since it is BOTH well after midnight AND my birthday, I am going to be quick with today’s recap. I spent the morning and early afternoon finishing up a HUGE project for work. I finished [...]

As of Wednesday this week, I am married to a 40 year old man. I feel so old. When CandyMan turned 30, I threw him a huge surprise party, which I pulled off flawlessly. It would have been a perfect birthday had he not just had hernia surgery a few days before. Number 4-0 seemed [...]

It has taken me nearly a week to recover from the 12-year-old birthday sleep over party that occurred at my house last Friday. Kidding. It wasn’t really that bad. It was noisy, yes. It was messy, too. But I was more than happy to play host to good kids having good, clean fun together. I [...]

My BFF Safire, who accompanied me to BlogHer last year, won a birthday party for her kids from Sprout and PBS Kids while we were there. Her twins turned 3 at the end of April and her daughter turned 6 just a few weeks ago, so she threw an enormous combined birthday party with everyone’s [...]

I will truly let the pictures speak for themselves today. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all over.

If I had any doubts about the fact that my baby is growing up, those doubts are gone today. Yesterday, AJ celebrated his 6th birthday. I remember when KitKat turned six years old. She seemed so old. Now with my baby turning 6 and my oldest in high school, gone are the days of bottles, [...]
