Hello readers! A number of years ago, I wrote this fun blog post about some true confessions of my mild life. It was a fun article, and today happens to be "True Confessions Day," so I thought maybe it was time to revisit the topic. Here are more true confessions of my mild life: I … Continue reading More Confessions of My Mild Life

Old School
I'm "old school." Does anyone even use that expression anymore? Recently my friends and I were talking about being from Generation X, and we decided we were glad to have been raised a certain way and in a certain era. Saturday morning cartoons and a bowl of cereal. Riding around the neighborhood on our bikes. … Continue reading Old School
Birthday Wisdom
My birthday was a few days ago and it was celebrated with a fabulous party! Happy birthday to me! With age comes wisdom (or so they say), and so I've been reflecting on my life and the various intellectual, emotional, and spiritual journeys I've taken throughout the years. I'm no wise sage, but there is … Continue reading Birthday Wisdom
True Confessions of My Mild Life
It's interesting how things come together sometimes. I had mentioned a silly little confession in my banana bread post a few weeks ago, not thinking very much about it. Well, a friend of mine read it and suggested that I should write up an entire post about some of my confessions. Since I'm always trying … Continue reading True Confessions of My Mild Life
Small, Easy Changes
To follow up on the post I wrote last week about resolutions and goals, I was recently reminded about how difficult it can be to get started. Nevertheless, it's good to start, even if it's small. Some people take advantage of the special pricing and offers that many gyms have right now and sign up. … Continue reading Small, Easy Changes
Nothing to Write
Being an introspective person, my mind and my heart are constantly going. Being a mom, so is my life. However, sometimes I just feel like I have nothing to write. I'm on summer break right now, one of the perks of being a teacher. My summer days are usually spent working on home improvement or … Continue reading Nothing to Write
A Day Off
So an unusual thing happened today. I took the day off. The whole day off. Off from work. Off from kids. Off from responsibilities. Off from everything! Let me back up my story a little so you know how this day off came to be. Besides bringing home the usual art work or school work, … Continue reading A Day Off
Small Victories
Sometimes, being a mom is just so dang difficult! If you've read last week's post (titled Just Do Your Best), you've seen that I am exhausted these days. After having talks with some of my fellow mama friends, we've come to the conclusion that sometimes it's the small victories that help us to get through each … Continue reading Small Victories
Just Do Your Best
These days, it feels like I have a new mantra: Just do your best, Andrea. When you forgot about a library book and ended up having to pay an overdue fine once you finally returned it... just do your best. When you are too tired to make dinner, so now it's leftovers two nights in … Continue reading Just Do Your Best
I Do Not Feel Like Super Mom
It is past the baby's nap time. He doesn't like pacifiers, and I do not want to be a human pacifier. He is screaming his head off in his crib. I do not feel like Super Mom. My daughter caught a cold from someone in her class. Her nose is drippy and I am trying … Continue reading I Do Not Feel Like Super Mom
