Today I was running on the treadmill at the Y and after watching a very happy man win lawn service for a year, a hot tub, and a trip to Denmark (so cool) I switched channels to see Kathie Lee & Hoda on the Today show. They read an article from the paper today that […]
I Declare Life
And I hope as I raise my son, that he would know that he is important because he carries God’s Image. God loved him so much he decided to place part of himself in him. That will never change. No matter how distorted it becomes and how difficult it is to see, it is always there. And because of that he is always awesome. Worthy to live, to love, to be loved.
The Power of Love
When Jack and I had trouble “getting” breast feeding 22 months ago, I was told to spend time with him skin to skin. I heard it from several experts and read it in books before Jack was born, but in my cynicism, I didn’t try until Jack was at least 6 weeks old. By that […]
A Hop, Skip & a Jump Start
This morning Tim, Jack & I spent some quality time together at the Denver Children’s Museum’s 5k and Tot Trot. We had so much fun with the races and then playing at the museum afterwards. As always, Jack was the cutest and he did such a great job on a really long toddler race! It […]
A Godsend
And trust me, I mean it. I don’t use that word lightly. What is this said gift from God? Tot Time at the Y. Jack had his first afternoon there today and it made my day so much better than usual. First of all, he couldn’t wait to leave home… And when I picked him […]

I AM the Mom.
A really hilarious thing happened tonight that I want to share with you. We were eating dinner when there was an overly cheerful knock at the door. (You know the type: Rap-tap-tap-tap-tap *** TAP-TAP!) Slightly annoyed, I went to answer it. A young guy was standing there, probably in his early 20s, and he said, […]
The Less-Social-Networked Me
I honestly can’t remember if I’ve talked much about loneliness here on this blog, but it is something I have struggled with since Jack was born. And I know I’m not the only one. I think many moms are lonely, especially when days go by without intelligent adult conversation. Last week I was spending my […]

Jack’s Walk
My sister’s new father-in-law got a great video of Jack walking down the aisle. I’m so happy!! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImHH6ky8Ro8&fs=1&hl=en_US] The pillow was used in my grandparent’s, my parents’, and my aunts’ and uncles’ weddings. So cool. At the end you can see that Jack finally saw me on stage and is ready to keep walking up […]
