There are many things I love about St. Louis. The free Zoo. The pretty scenery. The Arch. The fact that there are parks on nearly every corner and there are so many free things to do for families. What do I not love about St. Louis. The freakin’ weather! We get a conglomeration of all […]

I take Sloan to speech therapy on Thursdays to work on a minor dysfluency problem. That’s fancy talk for stuttering. The boy can sometimes bump painfully through his sentences. Anyway, nearly every Thursday, Tia and I sit in the little library of the preschool while we wait for Sloan to finish. It’s an interesting experience, […]

It’s been a tough weekend…for reasons that I don’t feel it appropriate to share on this blog. All I will say is that while I was not directly affected by the events of this past week, people that I love dearly were directly affected and their pain has impacted me. I have been reminded once […]

First of all, I have no idea if I spelled demasculinization right…Happy Valentines day to everyone! This morning, I laid out my gifts for the kids so when they woke up they’d find them on the table. Such a mom thing to do. I bought both of them these little stuffed dogs that cost $5 […]

Okay, I was wrong. Sloan’s bowling high score on the Wii was 247, not 289. Hey, I’m a mom, I can exaggerate a little right? Anyway, we actually took a picture of it and I went back to check the picture to see exactly what his score was. He’s freaky good at bowling. Here’s his […]

February 12, 2008 by
So, I recently found out that I won a short story contest that I entered a few months ago. The premise was to take one line of a song that you liked and craft a story around that song. This is what I came up with. It’s not a brilliant story by any means, but […]

Lee has taken up yoga in an effort to stretch himself out a little since he and I have signed up to run in a marathon relay in a couple of months. Why have we done that? No one really knows. Perhaps we are glutten for punishment. Either way, since Lee is likely the most […]

*Sorry, this post is a little long.*So I got a CD I ordered in the mail yesterday and I am THRILLED! It’s the TRUTH 25th Anniversary album, which is my all time favorite CD. I lost it several months ago and have been so bummed because it’s out of print and is nowhere to be […]

February 6, 2008 by
So, we put Tia in a big girl bed tonight. She went right to sleep. She seemed a little perplexed by it and kept looking at her crib like she didn’t understand why she had to sleep in this bed when there was obviously a perfectly good bed right there. But, she did not get […]
