A glimpse into my past

October 13, 2014 By Erin L. Leave a Comment

Memories live in our minds and come back to us at random times. Sometimes we do our best to remember how we thought or felt around a specific moment, but it’s hard to capture it exactly…like we’re looking at it through a fog. But sometimes, we discover something that takes us back and gives us… [Read More]

I ran into an old friend – me

I ran into an old friend – me

This weekend was a weekend unlike any weekend I’d had in awhile. I saw someone I hadn’t seen in quite a long time. Me. You see, this weekend I had a chance to connect with all facets of my life. I had business moments, family moments, marriage moments and friendship moments.  It was a miracle to… [Read More]

Other things I’m spewing across the Internet

June 26, 2014 By Erin L. Leave a Comment

Sometimes I have a lot to say and other times I find myself at a loss for words (you hush, it happens.) But I don’t always spew it all over this blog. Sometimes I share it over on BabyCenter. Here are a few of my rambling thoughts from the past month. The kids are learning… [Read More]

Don’t worry about what your kids read; just worry that they read

Don’t worry about what your kids read; just worry that they read

Judy Blume, my favorite childhood author, has it right. Parents worry “much too much” about what their children are reading. I’m a reader. I always have been. As a child, I voraciously gobbled up every word, every paragraph, every book I could get my hands on. In the 2nd or 3rd grade, I read Are… [Read More]

My eyebrows are preventing me from aging gracefully

My eyebrows are preventing me from aging gracefully

I’m not one of those people that bitch and moan every time I look in the mirror. I like my life – where I’ve been, where I am and where I’m going. The way I look tells a story.  It says I’ve lived. Yes, there are a few more wrinkles than I’d like. A few… [Read More]

My Favorite Posts From 2012

Every year there are those few posts that you go back and read and think, “YES! I am so glad I wrote this.”  Some are funny. Some are poignant.  Some make you reflect on a certain situation. Here are my favorite posts that I wrote this year: 1. Sometimes the Mirror Lies — I was… [Read More]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: Sweet Babies

February 19, 2012 By Erin L. Leave a Comment

  It’s 7:30 in the a.m. and I’ve been up for an hour. Last night’s sleep was fitful as I have a migraine I can’t seem to get rid of. Yet, even though I’m exhausted and really want go go back to bed…I’m enjoying my dark, rainy morning because I’m with my kiddos. Bug and… [Read More]

VlogMoms Thursday: If I Could Live Anywhere

February 16, 2012 By Erin L. 4 Comments

It’s been a week to say the least, with a sick kid yesterday, and lots of other craziness (hence my absence for the first part of the week).  BUT…here I am with this weeks #VlogMoms video courtesy of Christine at From Dates to Diapers. If you could live anywhere and do anything – family and… [Read More]

So Over Baby Food

So Over Baby Food

D.O.N.E. I am done with baby food — the purees to be specific. I don’t know why I am so eager to be over this stage but I am. Miss E. is almost ten months (ACK, almost a YEAR!) and we’ve just embarked on the next journey with food – tiny pieces of cheese, bread,… [Read More]

Apparently Barbie was asking to visit the North Pole so Toby was happy to oblige. (Em was thrilled as she’d recently noted that Toby wasn’t very creative in his movement around the house 😂)

For the last few days, the forecast has shown 30% chance of snow but then it would quickly disappear. Em was devastated as she really wanted to see some snow this vacation. 
Mother Nature must have heard her because we woke up to this!

Every stage of parenting is hard. Every stage brings new challenges...and new joys. ❤️
This kid, my first baby, is growing up. He’ll be taller than me in no time and next year, we are off to middle school. I know a shift in the tide is coming. So for now, I’m going to cherish the moments when he reaches out for me and we walk hand in hand. I hope he knows I’m here for him, no matter what and that I’ll do my best to guide him through what’s to come.

I mean...look at the girl child. I just can’t with her. I think she’s ready for Halloween season.

These two had a blast at their first ever weekend retreat. I knew the boy child would be fine but wasn’t sure about the girl. 
Well they both loved it and had a blast. I think the boy is ready for sleep away camp!
