On Tuesday, the most freezingest day of the year (high was -3 with a significantly lower wind chill), we decided to go see Tangled. I love a good movie and I had heard this was a good one, so I thought it would be fun to take Jack! We bundled up and felt like we […]
Welcome to Denver, Old Man Winter
Ever since I was a kid, winter has been my favorite season. Part of this has to do with the fact that my birthday is in February and there is nothing more exciting than preparing for your birthday. I also like it because there’s so much to do outside in the winter, like sledding. And […]
a little note of thankfulness
If only that’s how it works… No, not really. The reality is I am so proud of my husband and his work ethic. He has put hours days of work into cars for friends and family. He has become Scum’s mechanic. A guy anyone can go to knowing that he will give an honest assessment […]
Monkey Love
I’m so thankful to have lived during a time when parental love is considered important. I have heard so many stories of people my parents’ age not receiving love from their parents. No hugs. No kisses. No “I love you.” And what’s shocking is that psychologists told them this kind of treatment is what would […]
My Favorite Photo of Me
Plinky prompt of the day: "Share your favorite photo of yourself. Describe why you love it." Here goes… I like this photo because I look good. 🙂 Really though, I like this photo because: 1) Tim's in it with me and I think we look good together. 2) My mentor Nancy took it (she's one […]
postscript to I’m So Impatient
I realize that yesterday’s post is in direct contrast to my post a couple of months ago about my fear of having a second. I think the desire is starting to squelch the fear. And hope that things can be better next time. Yay Hope!

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 […]
