Have you even been told you look like someone? Maybe someone’s sister or aunt or even a celebrity? Well last week I had two people from COMPLETELY different parts of my life tell me I look like a woman in a cereal commercial. So of course I had to check this out because apparently this…
38
photo by Jennifer Williams I am so very happy to say goodbye to 37 so I just thought I would go ahead and glorify this birthday with the number in the title. I really do NOT like odd numbers for whatever reason and this year has had some ups but some pretty (weighty) downs too….
From Whence Inspiration Comes
I’ve been blogging here for over 6 years now. It kinda blows my mind that I have been writing and photographing and posting about my life and family for that long in this space. Recently I was thinking about how so many “bloggers” aspire to write a book and I kind of think I have…
Here I Am
I have been completely inspired by my friend Sarah. There is just no other way to say it. So… I took at least one photo of myself every day last week, sometimes with kids, sometimes not, because her project has me seeing things differently, with ME in front of the camera too. Here are the results… A…
The Voices in my Head
I hate walking by the mirror in my bedroom. It’s big and shows all of me. I am big too. The voices as I walk by go something like this: “You are fat. Sure, go ahead and suck in your gut but then when you push it out again you’re just going to see that…
Great Expectations…

Tired.
One tear falls down my cheek as I look over at my almost empty wine glass. I decide if I even want the last sip and my brain says, “why waste it?” So I grab the glass and let the rest of the red liquid slide down my throat. I’m tired. If I looked in…
Nap Talk (and a cutie-patootie video)
So, one of the last things my last baby has yet to outgrow is the NAP. K is quickly approaching 3 and half years old (shiz, how did THAT, happen!?!) and her brothers both stopped napping a little after 3 years old so this is kinda foreign to me. She’s still going pretty strong and…
48 Questions (old school blog style)
I saw this on my adorable friend Emily’s blog and she stole it from the awesome Zakary who hijacked it from another blog and yeah, it’s like an old fashioned (circa 2008) kinda meme. I tweeted back in December that I think we need a little of this, blog posts like they used to be, back…
