Have you been wanting a new blog design, but didn’t know who to turn to? Are you wanting to start your own blog but tired of the same old templates? Do posts that start out with a lot of questions make you dizzy and feel like running off and changing your blog [...]

A Sign Of Things To Come

May 12, 2008

Most people think that boys are more difficult when they’re small, and girls are harder when they’re teenagers. I sometimes wonder if my boys didn’t get that memo, and are already practicing for their teen angst professional eye roll competitions.

If I Had Known

May 1, 2008

I’ve been thinking all week about submitting a photo for the 5 Minutes for Mom photo contest, but I couldn’t decide what to highlight. Do I pick a photo of the kids? Of my own mom? Ultimately I decided on this photo:
