What Home Means To Me

I’ve got another guest post up over at Joanna’s blog, Raising Madison, today. It’s all about what home means to me. Joanna asked me and some other bloggers to do some guest posts for her as she puts her energy into getting her house on the market and focuses on downsizing. Not unlike so many, [...]

And getting ready to BRING IT.
All the drama, the boyfriends, the prom dresses, the makeup, the bad hair day meltdowns, the slammed doors, the (INSERT MORE DRAMATICS HERE)- it’s all coming for me.

The tech said she was really, very confident and I had her scan [...]

What Will Baby BBQ Be?

5 Small Changes

So  this post isn’t actually here, but over here, at Mandy’s blog.

I finally got it all [...]

Random Notes on Toilet Training a Toddler While Traveling

Maybe I would be better about keeping up with things if this vacation wasn’t sucking every last ounce of energy out of me. That’s always the problem with “vacations” that involve bringing your children, though, isn’t it? And as [...]

You know what I’m not looking forward to?

I really haven’t thought much about what life will *really* be like with another newborn in the house. I mean, I’ve fantasized, perhaps. I’ve envisioned the tiny clothes and the cute pictures I can take of Kendall and his new brother/sister. I’ve thought about how I might want to decorate the nursery and about the [...]

1. Let me just start by saying I’m in love with my new headshots! Bludoor Studios in Southlake, [...]

Hello world! So nice to re-join you.

I figured I’m due for a pregnancy update, so basically it goes something like this:
