I wrote about the completely inaccurate (in my opinion) list of Top 50 Mommy Bloggers as chosen by Babble.com a few weeks ago. While there is absolutely no way that I could sit and list my favorite 50 blogs, I do want to give end of the year credit to my favorite ten. Blogging is […]

Welcome back to Day Two of my Blogging Effectively with Integrity series. It’s also Monday which means it’s time for No Mom Talk for those of you who will be linking up. In case you missed any of the series so far, you can find the introduction post here and Part One here. The response […]

I’ve talked to a lot of moms in the recent months about who works harder and puts forth the most effort and works the hardest in their parenting roles: the mom or the dad. I’m certain that if you ask any mother you meet, they will tell you (naturally) that they do. The mother will […]

First of all, let me say how excited I am about the feedback I got from my introductory post yesterday. It seems that I’m not the only one who gets frustrated and confused by this blogging world. I searched several different areas of the blogosphere and have spent a lot of time analyzing the “Big […]

I can not believe that 2010 is almost over. Where on EARTH has this year gone?! I never really anticipated that it would go by as quickly as it has, especially considering that my husband was gone for 75% of the year. Yet, here it is, December 29 and we are down to just a […]

Watching this little blue eyed boy fall in love with life… Telling my husband that I love him at least 8 or 9 times before we ever say goodnight… Opening the door to Little Man’s bedroom in the mornings to find him standing up in bed with a grin on his face… Hearing one simple […]

Being told that you and your family are to be uprooted and moved to Alaska is a lot to take in. It is overwhelming and quite frankly, almost unbelievable. For us, Alaska has been on that ever famous list of “Places we want to go before we die.” And it was on our “Places we […]

This is something that I have been thinking about really hard for the past several, several months. Maybe because life has taken a few twists and turns that we didn’t expect and there are some things that just haven’t always worked out the way that we wanted to. I think my mind and my heart […]

I was an OUTSTANDING English Student-both in college and in high school. While I make no claims at speaking in grammatically correct jargon all the time, there are some things that drive me absolutely insane. “Ain’t.” Double Negatives [I haven’t never…or worse: I ain’t never]. Misuse of the there, their, and they’re. Or misuse of […]
