I did something Monday that made me feel like I was back at work. It gave me confidence which I have been lacking as I prepare to return to work soon after a very long time off. I was nervous how this would go but I think it went ok. And it felt good to…

The Perfect Gift
It’s hard to believe this little guy is 7 months old. I still look at him in awe. I still can’t believe what he went through to get here. Sometimes we are given what we need at just the right time. Five kids is a lot of work but Bryce gave us such a wonderful…
Oops I Did It Again!
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.

Hakuna My Tatas
Sticking with the Lion King theme and one of my favorite Disney movies, I’m talking about missing my you know what…tatas. I’ve seen shirts and team names at breast cancer walks over the years with a play on the song from the Lion King, Hakuna Matata. Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase. It means no…
