James, my nine-year old word master, strikes again. About to leave for his 9:00am park district baseball game this morning, James questions our mode of transportation: "Mom, are we taking your car or the Delorean?" "Considering we don't own a Delorean, James, but a Durango," I replied, " we will probably just take my car."

The Stealing Drawer
I love my kids. But there is no one in the world who will test my patience or make me question my sanity more than one of them. Well, maybe my husband, but I’ll save that for another post. Over a year ago, my eldest took flight and moved out of the house to attend college …
Hide the Evidence
"Grumpy Cat" and Xena got into a fight last night while MacKenzie was sleeping unsuspectingly in the same room. Grumpy Cat lost. To thwart a Level 7, International Nuclear Event Meltdown provided by my cat-obsessed four-year old, I did what any proactive Mama would do: I swiftly collected Grumpy Cat's carcass and brain matter off …
Worst. Birthday. Ever.
I would like to begin this post by saying that I am not, I repeat, I am not one of those full-of-herself girls that is birthday-obsessed. You know the one. Her day is her day and should be treated as such. She has to give you reminders for weeks prior to her birthday... "Hey, my birthday is …
Move-In Date
Last family photo op for a while; we just moved our oldest into her freshman college dorm room, four hours away.

The Whip and Zucchini Chips
I haven’t touched on anything personal over the past couple of months, but am slowly warming up to the idea of writing again. To be honest, the break was nice. With the way my mind works, however, having a creative outlet is a must. I can’t promise weekly blog posts from here on out. I …
It’s Scarier When It’s Real
Dirty kids, everything I own/am smelling like a hotdog due to the campfire smoke, unsanitary cooking conditions, bugs, sleeping in extremely tight quarters with five other individuals, sunburns, loud neighbors, no computer… Camping was a blast this past weekend! No, I'm not being sarcastic. I was able to spend some very much needed quality time with …
Honored…
My very first blog award!! I'm not going to lie... this does stroke the ego just a teeny little bit. I have been blogging for... actually, it is exactly four months today! To be noticed by a talented writer such as Aaron from The Confusing Middle feels nothing short of amazing. Thank you Aaron, for the nomination for the Liebster …
