• I Hear Nothing

  The front door opened, and I heard footsteps coming into the kitchen. “Who’s here?” No answer. Not an opportunity for panic; we have grands that live close, and they often stop by and let themselves in. Inevitably, the one that doesn’t answer is Teagan. He wanders in, waves, and sits down, never once taking his […]

• The Beet Went On

  My friend Kourtney is a busy woman. With a husband and three sons and a job she enjoys, she manages to fill her days moving at near the speed of light. Until she couldn’t. Dashing through the grocery store to pick up food for her family, she rounded the produce aisle of a national store […]

We’d drive all over Florida and surrounding states as well as fly to several so our kids could compete for medals and trophies that now gather dust in our attic. But when invited by my daughter to […]

• Hail, Hail The Grands Are Here

  I thought I was a flexible person. Not overwhelmed by the chaos around me. Who was I kidding? We’ve got all six of our kids here for a few days. With most of the grands. I’m passionate about my family–I truly enjoy my kids. I know what happens when I make categorical statements like that. […]
