  • When I’m Quiet

    As you can see, my personal blog posts have been quiet for quite some time. It’s because I’ve been living life – the good and the bad- the past few years. All while focusing more on my freelance writing and the college communication courses I now teach. I hope to eventually get back to blogging…

  • Slice of Life 2015

    Finally, I find myself gearing up to once again blog in the Slice of Life challenge.  It has been a few years since I’ve been a part of this monthly challenge. Sadly, I am not traveling to a warm spot this March, so I should have time to blog each day. At least that is…

  • My Inbox

    I can always tell how busy I am based on my email inbox.  Over Christmas break, I had my inbox down to 30 emails. Yippee I thought.  Now, let’s not forget that this doesn’t include my folders I have set up. Just my inbox. If you look at the folder for my sister’s emails, I…

  • Buy the Buzz

    Buzz’s leg has fallen off.  It should be a simple decision to throw him away. But it isn’t. He is more than just a toy. He is a symbol of “Buy the Buzz.”  A symbol of something I don’t like to do:  giving in to a demanding child simply to keep your own sanity. I…

  • I Am a Triathlete!

    I did it!  I finished a full triathlon!! On Sunday, I was part of the SheROX Philly tri.  This sprint tri includes a .37 swim in the Schuylkill River, a 15.5 (hilly) bike ride, and a 3.1 mile run.  Yikes!  I haven’t looked up my race times as of yet but that is of little…

  • Mommy…. I have a birthmark…right here…

    It’s that time again.  Time for another laser treatment for Cade. Laser treatment Number 9 will happen on Friday.  It will be his second with anesthesia.  I just wrote our monthly payment to the hospital for his laser treatments. And I have so many thoughts floating through my mind. Thoughts of wonderful doctors and nurses who…

  • Sacrifices…

    My house is a disaster.  Unfolded clothes are all over a couch.  My table is scattered with coloring sheets, notebooks, books, and who knows what else.  My boys’ rooms are cluttered with toys all over the floor.  My fridge is running low on groceries.  My office desk has papers all over. I’m so far behind…

  • Welcoming 2011 with One Simple Goal

    Here it is 2011. I can hardly believe it.  As I look back on 2010, I am reminded of three major accomplishments I made this past year. – I re-focused my freelance work. – I swam in a tri.                                   – I finished a 5K with my boys. Literally with my boys as I pushed…
