For me, it is just part of my everyday now: the empathy I feel for moms who have lost a child, or who have a child who is suffering. Take for example, last night’s local newscast. As it turns out, one of the 4 soldiers killed in Iraq over the weekend (the 4 deaths that brought the total killed to… View Post
Nothing makes me feel more beautiful….Kids Say the Funniest Things
This morning I was getting ready for a meeting. Since I clearly don’t get ‘all dolled up’ very often (and the meeting was important to me), I was feeling a few butterflies. I walked downstairs and heard a little voice say, ‘boot-i-fool, Mommy’. I think I teared up…was my one and half year old son really telling me I looked… View Post
It is a routine

However, Coop was up at 2am raring to go…bright eyed and asking for ‘Go Diego Go’. Not an option. An hour later he went back… View Post
Inside a child’s mind – Kids Say the Funniest Things
I would love to travel in Delaney’s or Cooper’s mind for just a few hours….Delaney especially, as she is growing and thinking and absorbing everything around her, every minute of every day. This morning, as she was following the fabulous trail left by the Easter bunny, she kept saying, “I still can’t pick a winner!” I have absolutely no idea… View Post
