Since I started my bullet journal a few weeks ago, I’ve started thinking in bullet points. It’s kind of fun to sum up your day in just a few short sentences. The last few days have been amusing so I thought I would share them here… #BuJo style. * I wore out my crockpot. *…
This week, I am celebrating my 11-year anniversary as a stay-at-home mom. This has been the best job I could ever have hoped for. However, to commemorate this momentous occasion, I also want to point out one of the perils of going to work at home. When I first started staying home more than a…
A couple of years ago, it was Cubs-White Sox night at Awana. Since I’m the one who buys clothes for everyone in this house, the kids didn’t have a stitch of sports-related clothing in their closets. I called my husband from a last-minute clothing search at Wal-Mart a couple of hours before it was time…
I was really a little surprised when I got up today and found it was pretty much like any other day. I had expected more of a change. A transformation even. Surely my life would be radically different. I mean yesterday was the day I had been waiting on for months. It was around 10:29…
I’ve had several people ask me lately about my workout routine. I know a lot of people are into P90X right now. I have friends training for marathons or 10Ks. Others do spin class, boot camp or other types of extreme workout classes with fancy names. Me? I’m more of a runner. I have been…
I compiled my favorite Facebook status updates of 2010. Here are the top 24. (That’s two a month, you know.) 1.

This question is for the both of you… as in ALL of my blog readers. I really need to know what you think. A friend the other day said she was debating between asking her husband for one of these two Christmas gifts: 1. a Keurig coffee maker or 2. a pair of Ugg boots….
For the past few years, my husband has had a Blackberry for work. A few months ago, he bought me an iPhone. We have been amazed at the differences between these two very similar communication devices. For example, with the Blackberry, CapableDad feels like he must always be in touch. People can reach him anytime,…
There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you all for a while now. I’ve been keeping it a secret because I wasn’t sure how it would affect our imaginary relationship. You see. When I was in the third grade, I developed this strange belief that everything had life. Straws. Napkins. Milk cartons. Candy wrappers. I…
As promised, it’s finally time for me to tell you about my experience going to preschool with my daughter. I must admit that I sometimes get a little nervous when I’m around little kids or dogs. When I was a little kid, I had a bad experience with a dog and I think it traumatized…
