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. In [...]

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 [...]
