Eyes Wide Open

“What happened to the trees, Mama?” she asked me with a sad tone in her voice. I replied, “I am not sure.” I drove by the trees daily. I honestly never looked at the trees. I knew they were there. I knew they were “pretty” to look at, and yet, I never genuinely looked at […]
Ready, Set, Kinder

“Mama, I’m ready!” Though she could not verbalize the words yet, the giggle she gave me was letting me know she was ready. Day after day, she would try harder and harder. She would lift her head, then her shoulders. She would crunch her belly so well that any fitness guru would be proud. Then, […]
Big Momma

You need someone like Big Momma in your life. Big Momma is someone that I have only known for about two and a half years. You are probably asking yourself, why would you dedicate a blog post to someone you’ve only known for two years versus someone you have known your entire life? Easy. Big […]
Were you there Mama?

Were you there Mama that day at the park? You said you were having a bad hair day, so you did not want to be in the picture. Were you there Mama that day at my school? You said you did not have time to get ready that morning, so you did not want to […]
Your Hair, Don’t Care!
April 26, 2019 2 Comments
My five-year-old daughter has beautiful curly hair. Natural ringlets with a spring in their step that match her loving personality perfectly. Her hair is long and light brown with golden highlights that glisten in the sun. She receives compliments on her hair frequently. The expressions range from, “Wow, look at ALL THAT hair!” to “Your […]
The Table
April 21, 2019 No Comments
When we went dining room table shopping back in early 2017, I knew what I wanted. Visions of a rustic, elegant round table with a farmhouse look danced in my mind. I was imagining off-white, cottage-farmhouse, with a vase of beautiful pink roses perfectly placed mid-table. Maybe a bowl of lemons too, just to give […]
Mama, you can do this.
April 14, 2019 No Comments
Mama, you can do this. Being a mom is hard. Difficult. Challenging. Painful. Backbreaking. Exhausting. These little people push you to the limits of your sanity. Each day in my home, the day starts with “Stop! No! Get down! Don’t run! You’re going to hurt your sister! Be gentle with one another! Don’t push! Stop […]
The Day I Almost Died: A Birthing Story
April 7, 2019 No Comments
Life is often a series of circumstances beyond your control. The day you almost bleed to death is not a day you quickly forget. It is also a day that takes some time to come to terms with. To tell the story entirely, I have to go back to my first pregnancy. My first daughter, […]
Magic

“Mama, do you believe in magic?” She asked me with a curious look on her face. Kids do not wait for the perfect time to ask you a question. When I need to speak to my husband about something that may require more than a yes or no answer, I will wait for a “good […]
The Turtle

I lied to my daughter recently. As parents, we tell white lies to our children frequently. For instance, when your child has had enough cookies but asked for more, you’ll say, “No we don’t have any more cookies,” knowing there are more cookies hidden behind that cereal that no one’s eating. On this particular day, […]
