Without going into specifics, I can tell you that my blog sabbatical was, in part, due to my complete mental breakdown seven months ago. Of course, I am being over dramatic- “complete” is an overstatement, but a breakdown did occur and it was difficult and trying and I’m still processing it all. Thankfully, I’m on [Read On]

Register to Vote

vote

Instead of asking people who there are voting for this election year, I usually ask: “Do you know WHERE you’re voting?” It’s a question that stumps most people. But, I’ve found that when you know where your polling place is located, you are more apt to go cast your vote on November 8. And, if [Read On]

100 {fascinating} facts about ME!

If you’ve been around the blogger block, you know that the “100 facts” is a tried and true tradition and nearly every (older) blogger has one buried deep within the archives. It’s fun to do because you not only get to share random and quirky facts about youself with your readers they wouldn’t otherwise know, [Read On]

Sick in September

N1210P46009C

As a self-proclaimed lover of everything Fall, September sure has been a bitch to me so far. I’m laid up, the fourth day in, with Influenza A – my second bout in six months. My nose, ears and throat are red hot and scratchy and I can’t keep my head off the pillow. Even as [Read On]

Terrible, terrible TWOS

In what was literally an overnight transformation, my eldest daughter Mia went from sweet and quiet to a vicious and babbling serial killer of crayons and temper tantrums. She just turned two in June and I FINALLY understand the term “terrible twos.” Dear Lord, someone save us. I’m not quite sure she knows the word [Read On]

Should a child see an R-rated movie?

Something changes in you when you have children. The horror that happened in Auroa this past week was awful, but it was more heart wrenching for me knowing that a child died. Set aside your belief that a child shouldn’t have been there in the first place and grieve for a young life lost too [Read On]

Is there a “look level” in play?

C0642810

This morning while driving my youngest to school, I tuned in to KS95′s morning show like I always do. What can I say? They make me happy. I’m not trendy like KDWB, not a hipster like Cities 97, a news hound I’m not like KQRS and it takes a special person to like Perkins on [Read On]

Get cool at Blaine’s Lakeside Commons Park

-3

      Get cool in Blaine this summer. The city runs a fantastic park along in the heart of The Lakes development near 109th and Radisson Road.   The park is free for Blaine residents (who show proof of residency with a driver’s license). For non-Blaine folks, the fee is a $5 parking permit. [Read On]

Blessingway, tie-dye, and belly mapping: a perfect shower

It is 99% likely that the first outfit my new baby wears is going to be one of these funky tie-dye shirts.

Hippie at heart? Then I have the perfect Baby Shower recipe for you. Combine belly mapping, tie-dye, and a mama blessingway for a lovely afternoon. Throw in some ice cream sundaes and iced herbal tea, and you have everything you need.   Being the pregnant one, I can’t, of course, claim any credit for this [Read On]

Affirming, preparing for birth

Prepare some birth affirmation cards ahead of time to inspire you to be strong during labor. Make them yourself, enroll your other kids, or buy some off Etsy.

Labor and birth is eminent. I can feel that it is close, and it’s all I want to focus on. I’m not interested in hopping in a car and driving an hour up north to my parents. In fact, I really had to push myself to get into the truck to drive to Target this [Read On]
