Obligatory Inaugural Post

Tuesday, April 22, 2014

I've been meaning to blog for... well, for as long as I've been interested in reading your blogs.  If you stick around a while, you'll learn that I struggle with always striving to achieve perfectionism.  This angst often leads to great things, but occasionally causes me to give up just shy of completion.  Instead of continuing to procrastinate the telling of what I believe to be an amazing journey, I will begin.  But not at the beginning... I'm sure there will be time for that later.  This blog starts during the middle of our tale, a charmed life full of love, joy and shenanigans with three beautiful boys.

Husband and I are fortunate enough to call Northeast Ohio home (as you can tell, I'm not writing this during winter, in which case, I would replace fortunate with cursed).  I'm a displaced Texan, and I will remind you of that at any opportunity.  We have three dear sons, ages 10, 2 and 6 months.  We both work full time, and we try and play full time too.  Sometimes this makes for long days.

I continue to learn what it means to be a "grown-up."  I struggle with squeezing everything I want to do into one 24-hour period, but that's not a terrible problem to have.  I try and remember that a full schedule means I have so much love to give, and an incredible amount of people who love me.  I'm in love with this life, and I'm thrilled to share all the beautiful things I learn along the way.

Welcome to our journey: a glimpse into a family of five, with two working parents and lots of big dreams... charmed shenanigans.

Three

April 29, 2012 A year ago I started a blog.  It was inspired by my Wild One turning two.  Life has happened, and I haven't made writing a priority, but because I was so inspired last year around the time of Wild One's birth, maybe I'll just make this an annual tradition on the anniversaries of my children's births. April 29, 2015 Today, Wild One, you are three.  After reflecting on last year's entry, I pore upon your growth and change in one short year.  My love for you continues to explosively expand with each rotation of the earth. You will always be my first baby, and you have taught me to love more broadly and fervidly.  Last night, I cried hard, ugly tears about your birthday.  These were not necessarily sad tears, just tears representing feelings about how much you've changed me.  You've changed my heart, the way I feel about the world, the way I feel about your daddy, the way I make choices, big and small.  You have been t...

Crunchy vs. Creamy: The Struggle Is Real

Thursday, April 24, 2014 As a relatively new member of the American Mother's Association* (not to be confused with Against Medical Advice... although some might say the two are interchangeable), I am fascinated, and concerned, by the latest trends and labels that we have been imposing on each other.  To be a mother in today's society, you must choose a side, or so it seems.  I love reading Mommy Blogs, in fact, they're what served as my main inspiration to start my own blog.  And as confusing as it might seem, your choice of crunchy or creamy starts long before your child even enters the world. No matter which side you opt for, you might feel forced to defend the things you believe are best for your child to someone: your husband, your family, a health professional, but sadly, and most often, another mother. It's a shark tank out there, and you better not share your opposing opinion too loudly in the wrong crowd of vicious mothers, lest you be eaten up and spit ou...
