It only took one year of trying! Exactly one year ago, I published this post entitled "I do not know how to toilet train my son." I swear that I wrote a follow-up post to the original, but I cannot seem to find it. I did, however, write a more recent post involving my son and the toilet, but ...
originally published on this here site, over four years ago, and I still feel the very same way! Photo circa April, 2014 -- Beau's former signature move. Today, he is still just as crafty, he is just a lot taller. Or, as I like to call it, “Why everyone who wants to be a parent someday should babysit ...
Here's a joke for you: "Why is a computer so smart? It listens to its Motherboard!" *** OK, so I am notorious for being terrible at telling jokes. Don't get me wrong; I think that I am FUNNY AF. I just can't seem to do the whole "What is the definition of a sweater?" thing. See? Even that made no sense. (Just ...
Hello, and welcome to my first real DIY Post. Also, this is the first time that I am showing you my Powder Room. I am always posting pictures of my family in my home and #keepinitreal, but this room has remained under wraps. I am sure you can imagine why. Oh yeah A little closer, please. Cardinal Rule ...

I have written before about my time college; how my experience was certainly not traditional, but how it was oh so very meaningful. Am I happy that I chose to go to Barcelona at the age of 19? Of course. Had I not taken the untraditional college path, I would not have met my twin. ...
Or, as I like to call it, "Why everyone who wants to be a parent someday should babysit (and not for the reasons that you think"). I know what is going through your head. You think that I am going to advise you to do a lot of babysitting before becoming a parent so that ...
I am prepared. I am used to many of my posts being greeted with great warmth and empathy. "I feel exactly the same way!" I hear. But I don't think that this will be that kind of post; it is going to be a different post. An unpopular post. And that is OK. I am writing in support of the snow ...
This week, things changed for me a bit; My plans, my outlook, my mood. I was able to appreciate some really sweet things from some really sweet people. There are many. I have been the lucky recipient of so many kind notes, inspirational screen shots, kisses-- but here are just a few of the sweet things that touched me ...
Do you know the expression "pour your heart out"? Well, that is what I wish I could do, but not just in the idom-way that implies the sharing of your deepest secrets and fears; I also am someone who tries not to say the word "literally" when I don't actually mean something literally (eg.
