At this moment in time life is steady and almost routine. I'm not complaining at all about that because I think there's comfort in routine. I've been working and enjoying time off from being a football mom. But kind of looking forward to the excitement of our next football season as crazy as that sounds.… Continue reading January

It’s 2022… A 2021 recap
To say that time flies by is an understatement. I mean... time really does get away from us. I haven't posted anything since February 2021. That's INSANE. BJ is eleven and B2 is seven and my heart is full. Today I read back over all of my "walking wounded posts." I've been feeling funky and… Continue reading It’s 2022… A 2021 recap
Sitting Still…
I have a habit of jumping into things with both feet, being a bit impulsive and THEN looking back and realizing that I'm having problems because I acted before thinking. I've been working on that this year. I've called this my year of sitting still. No going fast. No dating. No self induced negative energy.… Continue reading Sitting Still…
My sunshine… on a rainy day turns 6.
I'm trying to take notice of all of the beautiful moments that come while parenting. Even if they're only momentary breaks in the middle of a storm...
Since the world has shut down
I'm finally ready to write about the Coronavirus. It's been on my mind since things got crazy but my mind was too hectic to express my feelings through words. I've been going through the necessary motions and to be honest I've been mostly scared out of my mind. My girlfriends and I went to Mardi… Continue reading Since the world has shut down
Chapter 9
Saturday my biggest boy turned NINE. The time has flown by so fast... I don't really know how to feel about it. He's maturing right in front of me. He counted down almost the whole month until his birthday in typical BJ fashion and he wanted to know if "everyone will know it's his birthday"… Continue reading Chapter 9
My boys
We pray every night. We ask God to cover all that is special to us, we thank him for all of our blessings, and in those prayers we thank God for each other. I can't begin to thank God enough for the blessings that are the both of you. The night before last B2, you… Continue reading My boys
Here we are…
I look at my youngest and think about how fast time is flying and how quickly his toddler days are going by and my brain flashes back to when he was an infant. I think about how confused and tired and overwhelmingly sad I was during that time. Being widowed while pregnant was such an… Continue reading Here we are…
My life…
My house has been a mess for two weeks. My boys need haircuts. My dog needs to go to the groomer. I need to clean out my closet and install a shower curtain rod (that I bought a month ago). My dishwasher is clogged and I'm going to have to pay someone to come out… Continue reading My life…
Christmas Tradition
Yesterday was Christmas. I decided 3 years ago that the boys and I would stop traveling for Christmas. When B was alive we tried super hard to appease both sides of the family. We'd pack everything up and drive to Austin for Christmas eve, spend the night and get up early and head back to… Continue reading Christmas Tradition
