Well, little one what a journey we are having! I’m certain that 5 years ago at this time you were just as excited as you were this morning for a new adventure. Only at that time, you were the only one that knew you were coming soon. I’ve often wondered what the months were like…

What This Blog Is All About
I truly believe my life is a masterpiece in the works. I love trying new things, learning, growing and sharing what I learn along the way. I believe each of us has a champion hidden inside, the trick is to help unlock it. This blog exists for this reason. Because my masterpiece isn’t a one…
32 is Groovy
Yes, age 32 was a groovy year, but this time I’m referring to being 32 weeks pregnant. This morning’s appointment was great. They took new measurements of the baby and all is well. She’s very active! She weighs about 3 lb 15 oz, which is right on the money for my guess as I told…
Heads Up!
Yesterday, bugaboo decided it was time to go heads up! For the first time, she changed position. We finally have a profile! Granted, she was still pretty diligent about moving her hands and arms up over her face, but the tech did manage to capture a few shots in-between. Yay! She continues to do…
She Can Do Hard Things
It’s been quite a while since I blogged anything about ADHD. As I looked over past blog posts, I realize I’ve taken a little vacation from learning and helping my daughter with it. I didn’t mean to, it just became easy to get complacent and right now I feel a bit chastened. Don’t get me…

Swapping My Flip Flops for Stilettos
I survived my first week of work in the office! It’s been kind of fun to have a change of pace. I don’t mind dressing up, but I sure am missing my flip flops! Those dress shoes are killer on the feet. The transition has been pretty smooth. I’m so grateful for years of keeping…
It’s Off To Work We Go
Well, it’s official. I took an offer yesterday to return to the working world. I’ll go in a few hours this week and start on Monday. Don’t feel left out, this was really out of the blue for me too. Suffice it to say, I wasn’t looking for work. The possibility landed in my lap…
How Good We Have It
It’s easy to complain. It’s too easy too complain. In fact, it’s downright effortless. Even surrounded by countless blessings, one can find themselves huddled in a corner counting off their inconveniences and missing objects. I was reminded of this tonight. It started with going to the movie with my daughter. She’s reaching the age where…
2009 Gingerbread Fun
It’s that time again! This year the kids decided to do a Santa’s Village for our annual gingerbread creation. My daughter requested that we do it when her grandma and grandpa were in town so they could do it with us. Here’s how it turned out: The recipe and other years of gingerbread creations can…
