August 2nd, 2011 I leave for BlogHer in two days.
I am in no way prepared.
I have no idea what to pack, I have no idea what to bring, I have no idea what I will be doing once I get there.
I am starting to freak out. I am super excited to go, and see what the fuss is [...]
June 24th, 2011 Ten years.
When you say “ten years”, it sounds like such a long time.
Why then, have the last ten years gone by in what feels like a blink of my eyes?
Ten years ago, today, my world changed.
Ten years ago, today, my world turned upside down.
Ten years ago, today, I became a Mother.

June 17th, 2011 I was just sitting here, thinking about my friends, and smiling.
I have some pretty amazing friends.
You know who you are.
Some of you are new, some of you are old… but each one of you brings something unique and amazing to my life.
Some of you are confidants, knowing practically everything about me, and yet still adoring [...]
March 17th, 2011 I think by now, we are all familiar with the passage by Robert Fulghum, entitled “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”
It’s a simple list of life truths that we all learned when we were small. I have included it here, in case you haven’t seen it. I recommend that you read [...]
March 3rd, 2011 I snapped this photo while walking along the Inner Harbour of Victoria, British Columbia. We were walking along, and this was stenciled on the sidewalk. It’s a strong message, and one that spoke to me. I don’t know who put it there, but I am grateful to them for doing so. I often look [...]
February 14th, 2011 You have all heard me say it a hundred times.
I am a lucky, lucky girl.
I am surrounded by love all of the time.
I try my best to ensure everyone around me knows that I love them, every day. Not just on a special day set aside by the Card-Making Industry. However, it is sometimes nice [...]
February 12th, 2011 Another year has gone by since my Dad passed away. The anniversary of the day my brother and I found him was yesterday. Tomorrow would be his 61st birthday. This week is always tough for me.
I worked yesterday. It’s the first time I have worked on the anniversary or his birthday. I thought about him as I [...]
February 4th, 2011 I go back to work in the morning.
I love my job. I don’t mind being away, although I do miss my family like crazy. The reason I don’t mind leaving? I know I’m home so much more than the average working Mom. And let’s be honest – the quiet of being alone in a hotel [...]
January 23rd, 2011 I have always thought I would be the world’s greatest Mom if I could serve my kids cookies for breakfast! I am fairly certain that my children would agree – that would make me Worlds Greatest Mom FOR SURE!!!
However…. we all know that the sugar content of cookies is pretty high, and while I personally [...]
January 21st, 2011 A REASON, A SEASON OR A LIFETIME – Author Unknown
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you
will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is
usually to meet a need [...]
