When I was asked by the Alzheimer’s Prevention Initiative to participate in a briefing with their experts last week, it was not without bittersweetness. Prior to venturing into this world of birthing babies and blogging, I was a social worker. I worked primarily in Alzheimer’s nursing home units, and the dear faces and stories of […]
My Mommy! Moment
Before kids, I used to volunteer in the church nursery. I would watch the kids faces light up upon seeing their parents’ faces when they came to pick them up. I would think, “WOW. That is the coolest thing.” And then it happened–I became the parent picking up kids. And one day, recently, when I […]
Daniel Tiger is in the ‘Hood!
Sometimes when I think of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, I could cry. It’s like a flood of sweet childhood perfection comes rushing back at me. Those moments when I felt little and happy and thrilled to just be learning how to tie my shoes. It is without exaggeration that I say Fred Rogers was huge part […]
The Dying Drama Queen
Last week I thought I was going to die. I woke up in the middle of the night to a raging fever, pounding migraine, and the overwhelming sense that I needed to empty the contents of my stomach IMMEDIATELY. Upon standing up to address the situation, I fell over. I then crawled to the bathroom. […]
We’re Gonna Make This House a Home
…because we are. My husband and I moved to this town 8 yrs. ago. We knew no one. It was brutal. It was awful. I cried. Often. Then we started build a community. A house. A HOME. My dear friend, the mother of my son’s BFF doesn’ t know this, but on the day that […]
Modern Day Business Mama?
I haven’t ever had big goals or aspirations in relation to this whole blogging business, but then a funny thing began to happen. I started to make a little cash. Stress on the “little” part. And that was kind of cool. Partially because it was easier to feed my online yardsaling obsession, but also? I […]

Counting Down with Finding the Funny!
Listen, friends, the laughs are coming, I promise. After just a teeny bit of blathering on and on from me, Finding the Funny is all linked below! But with this official introduction of November, I am reminded that some big things are coming our way–soon! Trying to keep track of it all has me spinning […]
Green Street Grill
I have fallen completely head over heels for Green Street Grill, and I can’t wait to tell you all about this gem of a new restaurant. See, in our neck of the woods, adorable cafes that serve amazing breakfast can be hard to come by. And I love, like passionately love, going out for breakfast. Don’t get […]
Time for some Perspective on Parenting
I’m pretty public about the fact that there is very little on this earth that gets me giddy-dancing like a good bargain. Sales, promos, Black Friday, online yardsaling…I’m there. So when the chance to get into the presale for the outgrown sale at my son’s preschool cropped up about a month ago, I was beyond […]
