A Child’s Honesty
The other day, my daughter, Emily, was in the other room and I noticed it was awfully quiet. Those of you with children know that this silence can go either way. Numerous times, I have found Emily quietly and contentedly "reading" one of her books. Such a beautiful sight for this book-worm mommy to see! … Continue reading A Child’s Honesty
Deelish!
Recently, a couple of my fellow mommy-friends and I were talking about a delicious topic: macaroni and cheese! Macaroni and cheese has to be one of the best dishes ever created. It's got that warm, gooey comfort-food thing going on, plus it's a favorite of almost every child I know. Who am I kidding? It's … Continue reading Deelish!

After this, we have to make it through … Continue reading Not So Jolly Holidays
My Talkative Toddler
My daughter just recently turned 2 and I've noticed that her vocabulary has expanded so much! It amazes me how well she can communicate! Hence, I am going to do what all good mothers do: brag about it. 🙂 The first time this happened was right around when she started to walk, which was when … Continue reading My Talkative Toddler
Athletic Moxie
Yesterday was the Two Cities Marathon and Half and I ran it! Well, I suppose I should be honest and clarify that I walked and ran 6 miles of it as part of a relay with my friend, Courtney.
