Being Better
Tonight I’m wishing I was better. I’ve been in a rut the past few weeks and I can’t exactly figure out why. But I do know this. I wish I was better. At everything. I wish I could be a better mother. I wish I was a better employee. I wish I could be a Continue reading

Companionable
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge is to show “Companionable.” You can see the post (and cute pictures of dogs) here. That’s JC and M. playing with the hose in our backyard.

Picky Eaters
Is your kid the kid who won’t eat at the picnic because he doesn’t like hot dogs? Who refuses the pizza at the pizza party? Who has a diet that resembles a supermodel? Welcome to the club! I have a kid like that too. JC didn’t start off as a picky eater. In the highchair Continue reading
