In the last few weeks I have listened to so much and read a lot and felt so much about Motherhood. Because of that and also because of the phase I am at in my life, the meaning behind the act of Motherhood seems to be taking on new life for me. Recently I came to the epiphany that I…
TILT – Review and Giveaway
While at Mom Com in Austin I went into a session with Marci Fair. At first I was not sure I would get that much out of it because Marci is a classic “working mother”. She has a career outside of the home, helps spearhead a charity that she founded and she is busy with…
Ruby Leon Jewelry Giveaway
Back in Texas, when I became a non-working mother of two little ones, I joined the local chapter of The Moms Club. There I made many great friends who were moms of little ones and at home, just like me. We met for play dates at the park or at each other’s houses. We talked…
Family Time & a Fruity Giveaway!
This weekend we bonded as a family in a few ways, including three of us running a 5K together. Yes, a family that runs together also gets king cake at the end together, at least where we live and during the Mardi Gras season…

It’s HOT outside right now. Like, OHMYGAWD why did I even step outside to get the mail today, hot. My kids are eating freeze pops like they’re goin’ outta style and the ice maker is workin’ over time. I found one way for me to combat the heat though. ICED coffee. Yum! I was so…
Kindness
Things around our world seem to be falling apart this week so one afternoon I decided to take my camera outside for a bit to gather some perspective and even a little peace for my heart and mind. It worked for a little while… I thought about this post that my friend Tracy wrote and…
Minted Giveaway!
Minted stationary has come through my mailbox a few times, mostly from my friend Haley. She sends Christmas cards from them and the quality is always really wonderful. I have also seen some of their business cards and was impressed with those as well. And, well, I just like pretty paper. Here is a lovely quote…

While at BlogHer this year I came across a booth in the expo with these fun little pieces that work with games on the iPad, called iPieces. Basically you turn your iPad into an interactive game board. I thought that was SO cool! The kids and I got pretty excited when our own pieces showed up…
