The first day of Kindergarten came and went and we made it. Jacob walked into the school and together we walked all the way down the long hall to his classroom. He hung his backpack outside of his room and by the time I turned around he had walked right inside his room…without even saying…

Anticipation
If it wasn’t completely obvious by my last post, I had myself all worked up about Kindergarten over the weekend. In my mind, I had imagined every "worst case scenario" and had cried buckets of tears stressing about the "First Day of Kindergarten Event". I told myself to hold it together this morning…no matter…
Comfort Me – Parker House Rolls Recipe
Homemade bread is the best… especially in the form of these tender and delicious Parker House Rolls! My baby starts Kindergarten tomorrow. At one point recently, I did not think that Kindergarten was going to be that big of deal. The school we go to still has half day Kindergarten, so I get my…

Bubbles
It is less than one month before school starts. I cannot believe how fast this summer flew by, and I know that once Kindergarten starts, the next 14 years will go by just as quickly. Jacob got the "green light" from his doctor to get back outside and to be active again after his…
The Secret
I will admit, I was one of the millions of people who jumped on "The Secret" bandwagon after Oprah had featured the author and other life coach professionals on her show. I watched her original show and the follow up show afterwards and was immediately hooked. I wanted to learn more. Next, I bought…
My Baby
For some reason it is really hitting me today that Ella is a toddler. She is no longer my little infant baby. She’s walking all over the place, full of joy and laughter, and she now has an attitude to match her sister’s. I wish they could stay this little forever. I am trying…
