We tumble out of the car after church and rush into the house, a bundle of nerves and excitement. “I’m scared,” she says, her eyes a little bigger than usual. “What if I mess up?” “Go put on your leotard and your warm ups and we’ll talk about it,” I answer. Ten minutes later she […]

Okay, friends. It’s confession time. I’m bored with blogging. Gasp! I know! It’s like I just insulted my dearest friend and her mom in one fell swoop! I feel like I should buy the internet an “I’m So Sorry” bouquet of daisies and an Edible Arrangement to make up for what is clearly apathy […]

When Tia was nine days old, I took her to have pictures made. I wanted to go all out on her newborn pictures, so I naturally went to Picture People and paid $10 for 150 pictures of the exact same terrible shot. (I paid an extra 10 bucks to get 150 of a second shot […]

Alternately titled Mama’s Gonna PARTY! Yesterday we bid adieu to summer with a trip to the beach. It was awesome and perfect and lovely and beautiful. Last night, the kids were bouncing off the walls, a combination of nervous energy and extreme fatigue. Everyone was in bed by 7:45, lights were out at 8:00 and […]

Tomorrow I will put my three children on a school bus and ship them off to a building that (if I’m being totally honest) looks a bit like a prison. They will be gone five days a week for a solid seven hours. In case you’re new here, you should know that I only have […]
