I guess I’m on the four posts a year trend…if that. That means I only have three more to go though. Just wanted to share something that brought me great peace. Trust me, I’m not going to get all preachy, but I am a minister so it is allowed. See. Here’s proof. I’ve been pretty [...]

Pretty sad when the most recent pictures posted to the right are from a YEAR ago… alas, this blog is a little dusty but cobwebs do go well with the season of the witch. My littles are not so little anymore. One has a freaking mowhawk and the other is a sixteen year old bucket [...]

Kyle and I have spent the last three months watching Six Feet Under (HBO’s series that ran from 2001-2005). Okay, we may have been late to the party, but hey, at least we showed up. We finished it last week and the final few episodes were almost too much to bear, especially given the circumstances [...]

I’m thankful for at least one more holiday…one more Thanksgiving…one more Christmas…one more season wrapped in the warmth of my family. I am thankful for time, however short it may be. My grandma is dying of liver cancer. Dying. And until recently, I have resisted the reality of it with every part of my being. [...]

It’s blog or die here. Honestly, if I can’t get into the habit of writing consistently, then this thing is going to disappear. I appreciate all of the support from friends and family to write, so here it is… Anyone who knows us probably knows that Halloween is huge around here. It’s even bigger than [...]

When you live in Cleveland it’s important to focus on the positive. For example: When buried in a ridiculous amount of snow that forces you to stay home with two children under the age of 5 for an entire day, put on the warmest clothing you own and take advantage of it. My children had [...]

My friends are pressuring me to join them in the world of social networking, but my blog and the preschool website are difficult enough to keep updated that I’m not sure I can take on another task. I have a profile, but I have never elaborated on it, or sought out friends, or accepted friends, [...]

The Twilight movie was kind of disappointing (okay, it was very disappointing). I kept forgetting that this book was meant for teens, which meant the movie would be too. Don’t get me wrong, every time Edward graced the screen, my heart skipped a beat. Reading the books gave me the freedom to picture him as [...]

Standing in line at 6:15 in the morning, waiting nearly an hour to cast my vote, seeing neighbors and friends who showed up even earlier than I did, coming home to read blog posts like this one, sensing the shift, realizing that this is history…that I am a part of it, has made me very [...]

One word. A flood of emotion. Frightening. Indiscriminate. Relentless. Murderer. It has struck again. My grandma, the matriarch of our family, the one who keeps us all together, one of the strongest women I know has been diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer. I haven’t blogged about it yet because we still don’t have all of [...]
