As I had mentioned before, I have been uneasy about the whole preschool thing… which is starting very soon. But, after a lot of prayer and thought, it is starting to occur to me that it could be more than just being sad about Monkey getting so big. Rather, deep down I could […]
Everyone is finally on the mend, and to celebrate we went to Chuck E. Cheese on Saturday. We had a million things to do such as get the weeds caught up before we get a fine from the HOA, finish the slide show for a friends wedding, and back to school shop, but nonetheless we […]
We had a baby shower for one of the MOPS mommies that sat at our table last year. We have all stayed friends and when I do get out of the house without kiddos, it is usually with one of them.
We had to wake Monkey up from a much needed nap to go to […]
As most of you know Monkey and I have struggled over potty training for a while now. I learned from our pediatrician that one thing that may be contributing to our struggle is Monkey’s need to feel she’s in control. He recommended we ignore potty training altogether for an entire month, then try […]
Our MOPS group has been a true blessing to me and really helped me through the transition of becoming a stay at home mom. While I always knew this was my calling, the fact that Monkey really is the one in control took some getting use to.

We have been passing around a horrendous cold since before Christmas so we have either been sick or caring for the sick for too […]
Robert Palmer sang in 1989:
You can’t sleep. You can’t eat.
There’s no doubt. You’re in deep…
You might as well face it
You’re addicted to love
That song was performed almost 20 years ago, so do the same rules apply? Are we still addicted to love?
I think on some level we are. Millions of dollars […]
I joined MOPS in September and I completely love the program. The table I am assigned to is made up of wonderful moms, all of which have children close to Monkeys age. My table leader is so sweet, and our mentor mom couldn’t be a nicer lady. We meet every other week […]
