A record of the incessant and trivial chatter running through my head.
 . . . a labor day. Well, for some of us, anyway. Or, some of them. It seems that Chad is nesting. Our house has been in major disarray for about a week. Kitchen table and chairs in the living room next to the stove and dishwasher, couches shoved in corners, carpet torn out, and […]     Without a doubt, we all have moments in time that we carry with us forever. Tiny snippets of memories that are etched in our minds and played over and over again like a well worn cassette tape of the 80s. Some of these memories are painful, drawing out tears and heartache as we relive hurt, […]
 I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve been worrying about this for years. It probably started within their first year of life. I’m supposed to let them go? Loosen my grip? Put them in the hands of other people that I don’t know and trust that they will be cared for as well as […]
 Each day in my inbox I get a short message from The Brave Girls Club. More often than not I open these short messages and delete them before my eyes come to the first period. (What can I say? I’m a busy mom of almost three.) But today was different. Today, I paused and my […]

Wow! We barely left the house this weekend, and I'm still exhausted! 🙂 You guys are inspiring. Can't wait to see the final result!

And what better time, you can sit and give directions:). Love the smiles and looks of wonder in their eyes. I am still protesting not seeing them on thurs:). You know you will have me stopping in more:). Ly
