One of the hardest things when your kids enter elementary school (which continues until they graduate high school!) is keeping track of everything school-related. Until my oldest started school I didn’t realize how many fundraisers and things there were. Different themed dress days, bring in certain things on certain days (just forgot something for Shane…
Teeing off Some Great Memories
As the Masters wrapped up over the weekend, I decided to write about one one sport I am not good at, golf. Despite my lack of ability I enjoy watching the sport and playing mini golf. Mini golf along with a few par 3 courses is all I have ever played. So I am not…
Today Was a Good Day
This weekend I did a lot. What would be a normal Wetzel weekend in the past was a challenge this weekend, not just because of any additional Wetzel to take around but the whole cancer thing. The thing with me, if you know me, is that I don’t take it easy. I don’t relax. And…

While our “first” date after college was…

This Last Difficult Journey to Motherhood
I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. It’s an easy way to stay in touch with family and friends and for that very reason it’s wonderful. One thing I don’t like about it is that I feel like it becomes a competition where we display our seemingly perfect lives. I like to display the imperfections,…
