"Free Time" is different when you are a mom. I reflect on my pre-baby days with a bit of amusement. I remember feeling so busy in those days, like my days were overfilled to the brim. But now - I laugh at how much time I really did have. I had time to read novels […]
As soon as our girls are old enough, I want to pack up and drive to Yosemite. Have you seen pictures of it? It's an amazing, breathtaking, soul-searching kind of place. We'd backpack into the beauty, with boots on our feet and packs strapped on our backs. Along the way, we'd camp, hike, laugh, eat, […]
Bang. Bang. Bang. The gunshots awoke me from my dreams. Startled and sleepy, I looked over at the clock to confirm my suspisions that it was sometime in the wee hours of the early morning.

In our 7 1/2 years of marriage, my husband has never sported a true beard. Nor has he groomed a mustache. Thank goodness. He's had his moments with sideburns (not my favorite) and scruffy facial hair, but mostly he sticks to the clean-shaven look. I don't mind a bit of scruffiness actually, but I think […]
If I were the President of Lowe's, I would devise a comprehensive marketing plan with the intention of drawing in...moms (and their kids). Dads are the primary audience of the super store, of course.
