More Flaxseed Please!
For most of my adult life I have been considered some what of a “health nut” by my friends and family. I was the girl in college who after a big night out on the town would come back to my apartment for cottage cheese and cream of chicken soup, while the others were snacking on pizza and hot dogs.

Oh Sure, God Gets All the Credit
Today as I was making the kids their lunch (3 separate meals since they are super annoying like that), I was talking to them about things that make Mommy happy….. Continue Reading...
Love and Ice Cream
As the kids get older I think that it is important for them to have one on one time with my husband and I.

After hearing, “I am not tired,” “I’m thirsty,” etc, my husband Pete and I were fed up. When Chase walked in the last time and said, “I don’t want to sleep in my room all alone,” I quickly sat up and told him that he wouldn’t be alone….the monsters in his room would keep him company.The look on his face still cracks me up to this day!

…And Then There Were 5
If someone would have told me 20 months ago that I would be a mother to three I would have 1) laughed in their face and then 2) slapped them silly. It would have been more believable to me that I was going through EARLY menopause, then pregnant with two kids under the age of three years old. Continue Reading...
