Sweet Baby Franklin has turned five months. And what a joy he is! I thought the obsession over this baby in our family would slow down by about now since he isn’t AS new anymore, but that hasn’t been the case. He is still smothered in love every. single. day. Especially by a certain almost […]

Our sweet, sensitive, intelligent, inquisitive, cuddly, rough-and-tumble boy turned four today. And wow, my mama heart is just in disbelief. It has been pretty cold here lately, but on this little man’s special day it was nice and sunny making it a great day for our birthday boy. We spent the morning at our church, […]
Our little Franklin baby has turned four months, and I must say that I am just enjoying him more and more as he continues to show more expressions, smiles and giggles. About three weeks ago he belted out the most wonderful laugh. It wasn’t just a little giggle, either. It was a full-blown laugh that […]
Are you as confused as I am? Or did the title make sense to you? I have always been quite behind on the times. As in, I had a tape player when others had CD players. I preferred a VCR player when others chose DVD. I tried working an IPOD for the first time when […]
I definitely grew up a TGIF child and never missed an episode of the original Full House, so this was a much anticipated event. I was supposed to wait and watch the first episode with a couple of pals, but I couldn’t contain myself and I cheated. But I WILL watch again, promise! Below contain […]

How is our baby three months old already?! I know, you are mind-blown, too. Because these weeks and months are just flying by, I am trying to soak in all of his baby-ness as much as I can. I find myself studying his little features; like his adorable little button nose, the puffiness of his […]
The other day I had a parenting experience I immediately regretted. One that even as it was occurring I wished was playing out differently. Almost all events that morning were leading us to be late to school, starting with Gwyneth getting into the car and buckling without any shoes on. It then carried on with […]
When my husband and I were expecting our first baby, we were pretty dang excited. Sharing the news with our family and friends was thrilling. Our hearts were racing, our adrenaline pumping and a perma-smile plastered our faces. We almost spilled the beans to anyone who would listen. And our family, too, was just as […]
Being a parent is by far the hardest job I have EVER had. Before having our babies I was a high school teacher, and the level of frustration I have experienced with students doesn’t even come close to what I feel with my own crew. And believe me, I have come across some real gems. I […]
