I should start by saying that I have never “Googled “(somehow this has become a verb in the past decade) so much since becoming pregnant and then a mother. It started out so innocently with, “Can I drink coffee while...
The dictionary defines mom as a person's mother. But, I feel like that doesn't quite do the whole mom thing justice.  And because it's Friday, and because most of us are beginning summer break, I thought it would be...

Jury Duty

Have you ever been called into jury duty?  I have had the pleasure of being called three times.  I have not once been selected to be a juror, however I've come to the conclusion that there are definitely certain...

I have to say that one of my favorite shows was "Kids Say the Darndest Things."  I loved that show even before I had children.  And now that I do it's completely accurate.  Kids truly do say the most...

The perfect valentine

My husband is a golfer. He has been a golfer as long as I've known him. I know there are more partners of golfers out there. So, you know you're a golf widow when... You casually prepare plans around golfing...
