There are many things about our childhoods that are different than the ones our own children are experiencing. I know it was the same for our parents and it will continue to be the same as new generations come into this world. But sometimes I find myself truly longing for the “easier” days of my…
Expectations
When I was pregnant with my first child I had so many expectations. I spent several hours reading “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”, the book that most mothers who see those two pink lines for the first time, consider the pregnancy Bible. I eagerly anticipated the emails that entered my inbox every week, comparing…
Blog On Sista! (refelctions on blogging)
As I entered into the experience that was BlogHer ’11 I had no reservations and I was not stressed about going. Admittedly I was a tad anxious just because I knew I would meet many new people. It’s much like I used to feel when I was a kid, getting ready for the first day of school,…

We’re on the Move!
Tim and I had this view this weekend. We had a night together alone in a hotel, a wonderful steak dinner and LOTS of time to talk. Our round trip took us to Lafayette, LA. No, it wasn’t technically a “romantic getaway” but more of a trip with a mission. Why, you may ask…. Because…….
