Holiday travel is stressful. Holiday travel with kids is even more taxing. And holiday traveling with two kids and a husband who has to work at home is practically torture. Just kidding. Kinda. This was my reality during Thanksgiving. Schlepping my kids from Louisiana to Colorado with only my two hands gave me anxiety from the moment the tickets were purchased. I put on my game face as I carried car seat parts while wearing a backpack and three month old baby while simultaneously dragging my seven year old away from the Hudson News. I fully expected to be greeted with eye rolls and groans, but something amazing happened. People ... helped me. After security, a kind woman with a British accent brought...
It is the night before your 10th birthday. The night before the fast track train to the teen years would start. You see, I had been here before already. Your older brother had taken me on this road when he turned 10. I had no clue what to expect when we went through this with him. How quickly time would pass, but now I know exactly how this goes. Tomorrow you will be 10. You will feel much more grown up, and you will ask me to do things you know I don't think you're old enough to do. Then suddenly, you will be 12 and I will wonder how in the world had we already gotten here. And then in...
I'll be there first to admit, I love me a good ol' family gathering. I love the holidays. I love all the magical chaos that comes along with it. I LOVE to entertain in my home, to host my family and friends and entertain their faces off ... I really really do. What I loathe? All of the freaking prep that goes along with it. I mean the holidays are crazy ... crazy like my kids after their Paw Paw gave them a super sized Icee for the first time ever. Crazy as in the time I did all my Christmas shopping at midnight two days before Santa was to arrive. Crazy. This year, I'm hosting Christmas day at my house....
When you first find out you’re pregnant, your mind immediately goes to pregnancy, labor & delivery and the first couple months (sometimes days) of the baby being home. But to me, as a society, we focus so much on our children that they are infants, we tend to forget that we are raising children who will be adults one day. So what does that look like? I think the picture of our children as adults probably varies from person to person. I want my children to be able to think on their own about issues that are presented in society. There is a certain level of sheltering our children that is to be expected depending on your child's age based on...
It was the early 1950s. She was young and had only been married for a few years. This Christmas ... this Christmas was something to look forward to. No one was going to be deployed overseas; there was a little extra money in the budget. Yes, this Christmas was going to be nice. This Christmas called for new ornaments and decorations on the tree. At her next trip to the drugstore, she walked slowly down the aisle of Christmas decorations, choosing carefully what would adorn her tree and bring the Christmas spirit to their small home. She finally chose a variety of ornaments, of all different colors and shapes. These. These would look beautiful with colored lights, white lights, or...
