I’ll never get used to it
Grief seems to be the one constant in my life. Losing someone dear to you is always hard but when it’s someone who hadn’t even lived life it’s heart wrenching. The world has lost another young soul that left many behind wondering “What could we have done?” There are so many questions and few answers.…

Flashback Friday
Losing weight was always something I wanted but couldn’t do on my own. But life still happened. Life is different now, but I’m happier and healthier. My kids have grown up and they see the difference in their mom. They’ve all told me how I’m happier and they love my energy. I will never regret…

Mom Life
We are all busy. If you have one kid or 6 you’re busy. If you are blessed to stay home or work, you’re busy. If you’re married or single….busy! Because we are moms! Most of the “Mom population” takes care of the kids in most ways. We carry them, birth them, nurse them, take care…

And when the storm hit me and…

My letter to you….March 2013
I remember hearing grandma get the call that you were on the way. We piled into the car and headed to Salem. I was too young to go in and see you, being just 6 years old myself. But when your parents brought you to our house, I was so enamored by you. You were…

Dad circa 2012
I don’t know how many of you will be able to relate to this next Journey of mine, but I have waited to put this one down. Mainly because I didn’t want my siblings getting upset with me. But I had to realize this isn’t about them it’s about me. Selfish right? My parents were…

Munchkin
Fifteen. Wow. Fifteen years ago (in about 12 hours) my daughter was born. And I became someones mother. I remember thinking, “I hope God knows what he’s doing because I don’t!” She came in at 7 lb 4.5 oz, 21.5 inches long and with a head of black hair and she was perfect. After 17…

Memories (2012)
Memories are funny things. It amazes me every time I try to remember something from my childhood and I get it completely wrong. As little kids everything is huge and a big deal. Something that seems insignificant to an adult can have a huge impact on a child. This last weekend I went back to…
