I went out again without my fake foob. This is a second time in less than a week. This morning I was going for a walk around my neighborhood. Shortly into the walk I looked down and noticed my lopsided chest. As I rushed out the door to get my walk in I forgot to…

The Unplanned Weekend
I learned something this weekend. Sometimes the best celebrations and outings aren’t planned. Saturday was Chase’s 8th birthday. Between a busy day with two soccer games and dance and all I’ve been through this year, planning a party was the last thing I wanted to take on. That and I’m still nervous about gatherings even…
More Than a Doll
I may have mentioned this before but I am obsessed with consignment sales. I started going when I was pregnant with Chase and in need of pretty much everything baby and continue to find great deals on second hand items and clothes, which with five kids is a beautiful thing. I went to a local…
Happy Birthday Chase!
On this day eight years ago I became a mother for the first time when this beautiful boy entered the world. He is a mini-version of his dad (seriously if you see pictures of Chris as a kid it’s hard to tell the difference) but full of competitiveness and a love of sports like his…

Remember Who You Are
One of my favorite Disney movies is the Lion King. I’ve loved it since it came out in the 90s. The music, the scenery and characters just made it great. Admittedly I may cry when Mufasa dies every time watching the movie but I still love it. One of my favorite characters in the movie…
9/11, Never Forget
Twenty one years ago is a date that none of us will ever forget. This was my generation’s “JFK moment”, where we all remember exactly where we were when the terrible events of this day unfolded. But this was scarier than the JFK assassination because this was an attack on our country. This affected people…
