I’m a bargain shopper at heart – always have been and always will be. My idea of a good time is spending a few hours pouring over racks of discounted items looking for the best buy. On any given day I could tell you how much my pants, shirt, or shoes cost when I bought [...]
I don’t know if I’ve ever told you before (I’m guessing you may have picked up on this on your own) but I am married to an older man. And by older, I mean that there’s a 17 years difference in age between us. (Gasp!)
If someone had told me years ago that I would have [...]
Today is the 20 week mark, a.k.a., the “half way point.” In celebration of this momentous occasion I’ve taken some pictures of my thickening waistline. Let me just warn you: it’s not pretty.
The good news is that I feel like I’ve finally popped. That’s how I’ve heard it described from others – it’s the time [...]
Several weeks ago I had a dream. I remember it very clearly as it was the evening that we returned from our trip to New York. I don’t know whether it was because we were so tired from hours of driving or if my mind was just working overtime, but the dream was very vivid.

Several years ago I interviewed for a job working at a law firm in the downtown DC area. As part of the interview process, I met with the managing partner, the office manager, and then a couple of the firm’s associates. I went home from the long interview process and the first thing I did [...]
A special treat on this Monday morning, a guest post from my dear sister, otherwise known as the Wife of Odie. Enjoy!
There I am, catching some much needed sleep. It’s tough being a five-year-old and you have to catch any sleep you can get. Especially when you’re the youngest child. All that adoration really wears [...]
I had one of those eye-opening experiences yesterday. You know the ones, where you suddenly realize that either you’ve changed or things around you have changed without you noticing. It happened while I was at church. I went through the meeting like I normally do – I bowed my head during the opening prayer and [...]
Do you ever have one of those days (or weekends, as the case may be) where you just can’t do anything? Where your list of to-do items gets thrown out the window and you spend your entire day sitting around in your pajamas?
Yep, that was my weekend. I literally just shut down and didn’t leave [...]
There are some things that we just don’t say around children. Words of anger or disagreement or worry. Curse words, of course, and sometimes words of sadness or gossip. I think it’s safe to say that most of us would classify such discussions as “adult talk only.” The reason is obvious, we don’t want our [...]
Even though this topic has been on my mind lately, I’ve been putting off this post for a while, feeling ashamed and disappointed in myself. And because I feel this way, I’m guessing that there are others out there who do too. Others who give in to emotional and/or compulsive eating. Like me, you are [...]
