My biggest boy had his 4th birthday party a couple of weeks ago. His FOURTH. Someone please tell me where the last several years have gone, because I can’t figure it out. It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready to meet him for the very first time, and now here we are…weeks (or […]

Four

This past weekend we ventured out and did the traditional “Fall Festival” visit at the local Elementary School. I was hesitant to go becauseof the dozens upon dozens of kids that I’d have to face I’m so beyond pregnant right now and pretty much have to waddle everywhere I go. But, not wanting to miss […]

Getting Our Fall On

We’ve almost reached the end of this pregnancy. I hit the 35 week mark today. Which means that baby boy is almost full term and that we’ll be entering that “any day now” phase very, very soon. It’s bittersweet. Part of me is over the moon to be leaving pregnancy behind and eager to hold […]

It’s all Coming to an End

The last few weeks, as I’ve mentioned, have been difficult. I’m tired. My body is worn out in preparing for this new baby boy to arrive in the next few weeks. Work is wrapping up and everything on that end is coming to a close. I’m scared and nervous and excited and anxious all at […]

With Every Can’t, There’s a Can

It’s another one of those mornings where I really didn’t have any intention of writing. In fact, I’m still shocked that I’m even able to hold my head up this morning. Yesterday’s early morning (6:00 am) and all day stent at the hospital left me exhausted. I came home last night and collapsed in the […]

Be Still

It happens the same every single day. One of my favorite parts about being in Alaska is the coming of winter… When the sun doesn’t “wake up” until after 8:00 am and the darkness lingers for a bit longer in the mornings. Those are the mornings it happens. Somewhere between 5:00 am and 7:00 am. […]

My Favorite Moments

Know a blogger that should have made one of those fancy “Top SomethingOrAnother” lists a long time ago? Check out The REAL 100 and submit your nominations! The last few days have been rough. Scratch that. Make that the last week. My work is winding down. I’m putting finishing touches on about five websites and […]

Which Plate Will Drop?

We all know that disappointment is part of life. But explaining disappointment to a four year old is a bit different than understanding it as an adult. I’m not sure if it’s experiencing years worth of broken promises and empty words from people who weren’t supposed to let me down. Or if it’s from a […]

Teaching our Children Life Lessons

I think this might be the most highly anticipated part of this little series I’ve put together. Most of you were interested in the why I started a business post and several of you messaged me with thanks for posting more about the legal aspects of being a business owner. But for the most part, this […]

Starting a Business: How to Find Clients & Build Your Portfolio

I wake up every morning to the same thing… …a cool breeze blowing from the fan; regulating the temperature accordingly to keep my pregnancy induced hot flashes in check. …surrounded by the fluffiness of a dozen (yes, we really have that many pillow on our bed right now) pillows. …the sun peeking in through the […]
