You see the world in black and white. Good and bad. Hot and Cold. Bed time and Play time. Mommy and Daddy. There’s no complications. No middle ground. It’s either or. I admire your innocence. Your sense of certainty about the life you live. There’s no confusion. No doubt. No hesitation. Just simplicity. A little […]

  Being a business owner scares me. Not because of money. Or liability. Or fear of messing up someones blog or website. Those things could be bad; cataclysmic even to my business or my reputation. Those things worry me, but they aren’t the things that I dwell on. Those things that leave me antsy here […]

I never questioned what I would do with my life when I had kids. It was always just a given that I would become a stay-at-home-mom. My mom was always around growing up. She went to class parties, did the PTA thing, softball games, you name it. She was always a presence in my life […]

My head isn’t all here this week, folks. I promise I didn’t just ditch out on you. I haven’t made it around the link to visit last weeks 52 Faces participants, but I plan on doing that today. Bare with me. Like I mentioned on Monday, I’ve been just walking around in a fog. The […]

That’s where I am now. In a fog. Tired. Worn out. Cold. The weather, I think, is finally getting to me here on the island. The cold. The snow. The rain. I’m in need of a beach and some sunshine. Some color and humidity. Something other than endless roads of grey’s and neutrals. I’m not […]

I sit back sometimes and watch my son go about his daily routine. Get up, snuggle in the chair or on the couch with Mommy or Daddy (depending on what day of the week it is and who is up), drink juice, eat breakfast, watch cartoons, play with toys, eat some more, play some more, […]

It’s no secret around here that I absolutely hated high school. I spent most of my time wishing that I could change myself…my circumstances…my life. Looking back now at both my high school career and my life as a “tween” (isn’t that the current term for that almost a teenager phase?) I wish I could go […]

…More than once this past week, I reached a point of frustration beyond all others and told my son to, “just leave me alone.” …And then I watched Courageous with my husband and wished I could take the words back. If anything like that ever happened to my son, I don’t know what I would do […]

I have to start by saying that this is the last set of pictures I’ll be taking…with my Canon Rebel. Because I ordered my new Canon 7D on Tuesday and it will be here before next Wednesday’s Project 52 shoot! I. am. ecstatic. I’ve been itching to upgrade for months and months and months, especially since I […]

Growing up I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. My mom stayed home with my sister and I all during my school years. She was at every class party, every sporting event, joined the PTA…did all of the things that stay-at-home moms do. I knew that when it got time for me to have […]
