Although Jay’s 6th birthday was on Wednesday, I’m dedicating this week’s Gratitude Sunday post to him, just as I did for my daughter on her birthday. Jay is quite a character. He has so much enthusiasm for life and a great sense of humor. But he has a very sweet and sensitive side too. Consider [...]

This week’s Gratitude Sunday post… Quotes on Gratitude “The grateful heart that springs forth in joy is not acquired in a moment; it is the fruit of a thousand choices.” — Nancy Leigh DeMoss “Every single day do something that makes your heart sing.” — Marcia Wieder “And forget not that the earth delights to [...]

I couldn’t post this yesterday because the wireless wasn’t working at the Breckenridge rental. Which is a bummer because I wanted this to post on Em’s actual birthday – the 15th – when she turned 9 years old. But better late than never. This week’s Gratitude Sunday post is dedicated to Em. I am so [...]
Daddy’s Little Girl
Posted in Birthdays, Family, tagged Birthdays, Dad, Family on August 20, 2011 | 20 Comments »
It’s impossible to believe it’s been almost four years since my father passed away. I think about him every single day, and I’ve come to accept the fact that I will continue to think about him every day for the rest of my life. People say, “time heals all wounds.” No it doesn’t. Nor do [...]
Forty Feels Fabulous

I am so overwhelmed and touched by all of the well-wishes from friends and family near and far for my birthday this past Tuesday. It really makes me feel like I’ve celebrated with you all. I had such a great day, and the fun continues this weekend as my stepmother and my brother and his [...]

I have much to be grateful for this week. Indeed my heart is full as I head into my birthday week. Quotes on Gratitude “Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving; make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!” — Amanda Bradley “And in the end it is not the years in your [...]
I’ll Get You, My Pretty!

One week from today I turn 40. All day long I couldn’t help but hear the Wicked Witch of the West in my ear, as if she had turned over the hourglass and cackled, “This is how long you have left to be in your thirties… Yee hee hee hee hee hee hee!” I said [...]
Bye, Bye January!

Don’t let the door smack you in the a$$ on the way out. So, January is not my best month. Never has been. Some of my darkest days have been January days. I’m not entirely sure what comes over me, but it’s been compounded by the fact that both of my kids have their birthdays [...]
My “Baby” is Five Today
Posted in Birthdays, Family, tagged Birthdays, Family on January 25, 2011 | 12 Comments »
Age five seems a pretty firm dividing line between “baby” and “child.” For that reason, I hope you’ll permit me some extra nostalgia over my boy turning five today. Because I see it as a turning point in a child’s life (and a parent’s), I’m even more emotional than normal, which is saying a lot! [...]
My Girl is 8 Today
Posted in Birthdays, Family, Parenting, tagged Birthdays, Family, Parenting on January 15, 2011 | 15 Comments »
Can someone please explain to me how this happened? I used to roll my eyes when, carrying her around as an infant, people would stop to admire her and say, “Enjoy this time. It goes by fast.” At the very beginning, I was only too eager for it to go by fast so I could [...]
