Potty Talk With the Six-Year-Old
I have shared with all of you several times about the things my son says that either crack me up or leave me scratching my head and asking, “What the hell?” Seriously, that boy has no filter. If it’s on his mind, it’s out his mouth, no matter where we are. Here’s another one of…
How I Ruined Christmas…And My Boyfriend’s Proposal Plan
Okay, so I didn’t exactly ruin Christmas…but I sure felt like I did. Although, my boyfriend assured me several times that it wasn’t that case at all, and I was being far too hard on myself. Me? Hard on myself? I NEVER do that. So how did I ruin Christmas in my eyes? I’ll tell…

My Daughter’s Two Best Halloween Costumes
I have never considered my daughter to be a normal girl. She’s not even close. She’s not obsessed with the way she looks or boys. She does her own thing and doesn’t care what others think about her. She’s smart and not afraid to show it. She’s extremely sarcastic and funny and has a larger…
A Tale of Love
Today my boyfriend and I are celebrating our One-Year Anniversary. A year ago today we went on our first date…and as they say, the rest was history. He and I are a dating site success story. We initially met on OKCupid several months before our first date when he messaged me, but things didn’t go…
Conversations With My Son: “Mom, Were You Alive When…”
Well, it’s that time again! Here is another one of my conversations with my son, now six years old. This one occurred last night while I was cuddling with him before bed. Again, I couldn’t help but laugh. The things that he comes out with are truly priceless. Though my son can be quite the…
