My boy (who’s almost SIX) has had a few great one liners lately. Enjoy the deep thoughts of Sloan Stuart: Sloan: “Hey mom – you know what I’m the awesomest at?” Me: “What?” Sloan: “Oh, just about everything.” Me: “You’re modest too.” Sloan: “Yeah…Mom, what’s modest?” One morning, after he crawled in bed with us […]

Our plane, which was scheduled to depart from Miami and 8:15 and land in St. Louis at 9:55 last night, did not leave until 11:40 and land until 1:15 am. So I am tired today. Really, really tired. I can barely form a coherent thought, so I leave you with a few photos. My pictures […]

I’m Coming home soon!
June 28, 2009 by
The day before leaving for this trip, I found myself very anxious. It’s funny how before I had kids I was ready and willing to hop on a plane anywhere and try anything. But now that I have three tiny lives who are dependent on me, I find myself much more cautious. But, I must […]

A few months ago, my mom asked me if I would like to accompany her on a trip to trace the unique heritage of our family. Her offer was even more enticing when she said that she and dad had enough miles saved up to get our plane tickets for free. I’m a smart girl […]

I am blessed. I have been surrounded by wonderful men my entire life. I’ve often thought that the reason that I’m just an okay writer and not a spectacular write is because I don’t have daddy issues. The greatest writer’s all have so much angst, such heartache, and, often (not always, I know) they have […]

Last night Lee and I went to the Grand Opening of Shock City Studios, an amazing, state of the art recording and film editing studio owned and operated by Chris Loesch and parters. Chris is married to Dana, my blogging guru and co-board member of the St. Louis Blogger’s Guild. Lee and I were beyond […]

Yesterday marked 18 months since we welcomed Landon into the world. How I love this little boy. He brings such joy to our household. I fully expect him to be the class clown someday as he always good for a laugh. I wish I could freeze frame this time and keep him 18 months forever […]

That I wouldn’t sleep this week, but would just power through until next week? Yeah, what was I thinking? I was up until 1:00 last night writing up this post. There are some fascinating things happening in the world right now and Twitter is capturing all of it in real time. (Go to Twitterfall and […]
