Being a Child Again
The other day, I was playing with my daughter. We were using brooms as guitars. I was having so much fun jamming on that pretend guitar and Emily had the biggest smile on her face watching her mommy play like a kid. It got me thinking about how children bring out the child in us. … Continue reading Being a Child Again
Full Circle
It's funny how a number of things in life eventually come full circle. The other day, as I was cleaning up my daughter's room, I kept finding her tiny hair rubber-bands all over the floor. I asked her not to leave them on the floor anymore and she looked innocently at me as though she … Continue reading Full Circle
Soccer Mom
I can't wait to be a Soccer Mom. I love to play soccer. I used to play as a forward in high school (Lady Panthers, #7!), but I didn't think I was good enough to play for college. I never even tried out for the team and I regret that. These days, I have fun kicking … Continue reading Soccer Mom

A Reverence for Words
rev·er·ence [rev-er-uhns, rev-ruhns] noun a feeling or attitude of deep respect tinged with awe; veneration The idea of a reverence for words came from one of the books I just finished reading. The book's story takes place in a society where written words are symbols of the past, of an era of decadence that is no longer tolerated. Writing becomes sanctioned by the people of power, which means everything … Continue reading A Reverence for Words
Running and Theatrical Moxies
I recently took part in two events that would fall under the Moxie category. Don't get me wrong, Mommyhood is still going along well for me and is full of daily adventures.
