You know that wet, fierce, squirty- fart sound that a baby makes when he/she poops? It’s the sound where you immediately know it’s time for a diaper change. But maybe you decide to wait a minute more because you know the instant you slap on a new diaper, more poo is going to squirt out… […]
As shown in yesterday’s post, I once had an absolutely awful haircut in the second grade. Though, I was pretty excited to be getting such a “grown-up” do…. The beautiful, springing curls bouncing above my shoulders that I had envisioned turned out to be short, stiff turds with a buzz up the back. I think my face […]
In keeping up with the theme of the week… Once I realized just how awkward I was as a child, I decided to discover just when the “awkwardness” all began. I found an album of all my old school pictures at my mom’s house, so it was easy to tell. Kindergarten. Typical uneven bangs, side […]
My mom, after reading yesterday’s post, wrote this little number in response. I suppose she had a thing or two to say in her defense! A “Guest Post” from […]
When I was at my parents’ house for the entire month of June last month, I found myself looking through old photo albums and was reminded of just how awkwardly tall I was as a child. Below, I am sandwiched in-between my two best friends at my sixth or seventh birthday party. So tall, […]
Bullying has been a hot topic in the media and it wasn’t until I recently went through some old school photos that I remembered something shameful from my past.

Taking the kiddos to get their photos taken at the same time takes some preparation. Both kids need to be well rested, fed and (somewhat) happy. And thankfully, it all worked out for us one afternoon while staying in Carson. I decided Cal should go first, as I wasn’t sure how long he would last. […]
The fam and I are heading to “Cabin 8” again this year for the Fourth of July. Cabin 8 is the cabin my husband grew up going to every year since he was a child. This will be my seventh year going for the Fourth of July, and I love it every time. Cabin 8 […]
This is my 100th blog post! That’s kind of cool. I never really thought I would be doing something like this. Writing down my thoughts and stories and sharing them with friends, family and… strangers. I began writing with the intention that I would look back one day and be able to remember the memories, […]
I remember the exact day when I discovered I needed glasses. I was at a casino (John Ascuaga’s Nugget, to be exact) eating in the little cafe with my parents one afternoon and I was (pretend) playing Keno, the old-people game with all of the numbers on the screen that you guess will light up. […]
