What I Wish You Knew About Dyslexia – One mom’s journey
Our identical twin boys, now 15, were diagnosed with Dyslexia in the first grade. Man, I love these kids! We were very lucky that they were diagnosed so young and we were able to immediately work alongside their elementary school to get them the help they needed. After one year of public school intervention, we […]
I’m Finally at Peace With My Body
The first time I remember feeling fat, I was 11 years old and in a ballet class. I spent countless hours of my formational years in ballet studios, and for the first time, I looked in the mirror reflecting myself and the other girls in the class and I felt bigger than they were. Looking […]
A This and That Post – Wine and Dine Early Registration and a Frustrating Half Marathon Training Week!
It’s Thursday and we are all home because there’s about 4 inches of snow on the ground! I know that for a lot of you, that’s just normal March weather, but not here in North Texas! And certainly not this much at once. This is our 3rd snow day in the last 2 weeks and […]

FIVE things you should know about BLOGGERS
I’ve been a blogger for almost 3 full years now. This was the blog’s first birthday bagel. Bless it’s little heart. I am by NO MEANS an expert, and by many definitions, I am only on the very beginning edge of even being mildly successful. But in the three years of consistent writing and participating […]
Were You Married in 1990? Here’s How It Was a TAD Different Than Today
So, last year, I wrote a very heartfelt post all about what I’d learned over my 24 years of marriage. I don’t really have anything new to add to that, but I did want to write something about our marriage as Scott and I are getting ready to celebrate 25 years together. I got to […]
