I don’t have many (high) expectations for Mother’s Day. As long as I can get a nap (the height of luxury) and, if possible, avoid cooking all day, then I can end the day relatively satisfied. Why is it, then, that I come to the end of most Mother’s Days feeling like a horrible, unappreciated [...]
I think I’ve mentioned a time or two that four nights in the hospital kinda messed up most of our Spring Break plans. Luckily, I have an awesome sister who stepped in and redeemed the last few days of the week. Not only did she take my four younger kids for 2 1/2 days (where [...]
Happy Easter from our family to yours… May your Spring be filled with sunshine, sweetness, friends and family.
In celebration of my Irish roots and in consequence of my desire to waste some time today…I created a little St. Patrick’s Day printable to share.

I am still having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that I have a a 16 year old daughter. How in the world have 16 Christmases gone by since that Christmas Eve that I welcomed my first daughter into my life? I am also amazed at how different my daughter is at [...]
Merry Christmas! Our holiday has been incredible, from the Christmas morning photo tradition in front of the Christmas tree WITHOUT complaint to the millions of hugs and kisses and Thank Yous from the kids. I even got a Christmas afternoon nap. That’s the best present ever for a mom, don’t you think? Linked up to [...]
