The Best Me

July 9, 2009

I woke up this morning to more yelling, crying, stomping and door slamming.
The children, they have a serious love/hate thing going on. With each other and with my husband and I and with a leaf that had the nerve to blow by (how dare it).
It seems so incessant, the sibling fighting, that we begin to [...]

Progress

June 4, 2009

Each day I see this blog and have so much to say. To share. But the words don’t come…
I have plenty of other things to still write about, like the SeaWorld blogger trip or our family’s Disney trip, or this, or that…
But so often I can’t bring myself to post one. more. thing. until I [...]

They Say It’s Your Birthday

May 20, 2009

Jonah Bradley. Turned Two today.

Two years of sweetness, smiles and love like I’ve never known before.

A missing piece to his brothers’ ongoing and crazy puzzle, brothers who didn’t realize how much they needed him.

Through trials and tribulations with this boy, we can only see the heart of a lion.

He fell down just in time to [...]

I Would Walk 500 Miles

April 25, 2009

Tomorrow is the big day, the day when I’ll be walking shoulder to shoulder (and likely aching booty to aching booty) with my friends who are like family. People whom I love deeply, as if they were my own flesh. I would walk the planet for them if they asked. Tomorrow is just 6 miles. [...]

World Autism Day

April 2, 2009

April is Autism Awareness Month, and today specifically is World Autism Day. As a mom to three boys with autism, and thinking about what to write about today, I struggled. What exactly do I hope to make you aware of? Is awareness enough? Some would rather call it “Autism Epidemic Action Month“, and I’d have [...]

Sane Fitness, Sane Mama

March 27, 2009

I recently started a new eating plan (refuse to call it a *diet*), and have been counting points like a fiend. I’ve been working out, and feeling good, and really truly proud of myself for doing this. As mothers we can so often get into that rut of the daily grind and forget that doing [...]

Home Again

March 19, 2009

After a whirlwind of travel, talking and walking, I’m home from SxSW. It was quite the experience, with tons of hipsters, loads of interesting conversation, and even some drama thrown in here and there.
While I compile thoughts and experiences, I’d love it if you’d take some time to give my wonderful guest posters some love…
Desiree [...]

A Confession

January 5, 2006

Its been brought to my attention by a certain someone who will remain nameless and who I am married to, that I don’t “write” any more on my blog. So there’s “no point commenting on it”.
If you look at my archives you will see that I did used to “write”. A [...]
