via pinterest I am only a little bit ashamed to say that the episode of Modern Family from last week where Lily drops the F bombs has happened in my own house a few gazillion times. It is completely my/our fault as we/I {but mostly me} cuss like Bible school students who have been more [...]
I think that by the time I reach 25 my wrinkles will rival those of Cloris Leachman. Sigh. It doesn’t seem to get any easier does it? The more you try the stronger their resolve gets. Most days I find myself just sitting there thinking “Really?! Really?” Phoenix has always been an exuberant child. He’s also [...]
A few weeks ago I stumbled onto an article about Tilda Swinton {who’s name is not Tilda Swanson as I have thought up until I went on a Google Search for the article. Today} & a movie she had done based off the book We Need to Talk About Kevin. I immediately downloaded the book [...]
Does your face look like that now too? Because that was totally my face after making my nightly “rounds” on the interwebz & stumbling on the most disturbing story ever on The Stir. I am all about being shallow. 3 hours to get ready to go to dinner for an hour & 1/2? Check. Having to [...]
Since the last time I wrote about my trails of being a “new” mother I have still been sitting here waiting for 3 o’clock to arrive. Surprise. It has. But surprise. With it does not come two lovely teenage sisters ready to entertain & play with Phoenix. He’s like this never-ending tornado. It just spins & [...]
I can get a little sensitive about my age sometimes. I feel like I need to constantly assure people that I wasn’t some high-school drop out who got knocked up & still lived with her parents up until a few weeks ago. Maybe if you have been hanging around here long enough you {should} know this [...]
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [...]
When I was pregnant Shawn and I used to lay in bed rubbing my belly and talking about what a future with Phoenix looked like. What he would look like. What his voice would sound like. What he would be like. In the hospital that first night we kept exclaiming how zen he was. hahahahahahaha [...]
I think a lot about what it means to be a good mom. Do you? I often realize that I am hardly up to par when it’s 11:30 PM and Shawn and I are watching some scandalous tale on Dateline and our 2 yro is still flittering in the room dumping toys out and watching Curious [...]
Phoenix is 16 1/2 months old now and says close to 40 words and phrases. I attribute this to the fact that we talk a lot to him. And he may be an only child, but he is constantly with my family. At least twice a week. Hearing all 12 of us talk surely helps [...]
