Life after loss with one teenager, two surviving triplets and a rainbow baby
Watching week after week of my favorite mind-numbing show has made me wonder what it might be like if the bachelorettes were nothing but blogging women. Especially since many of us happily claim the famous motto of most bloggers: Source: weheartit.com via Jessica on Pinterest {Read More}
Is it wrong to say how much I love linking up to a link up I am cohosting? I loved every minute of combing through memories of the past year, some months I chose the moment, some months I chose the photo, others I chose both. Just click on each picture and it will take you to my favorite post of that month. See how I get around my own link up rules? Hope you will link up your favorites {Read More}
My sweet friend Tonya hosts a series where she asks bloggers to write a letter to someone. Today I am visiting over there with a letter to the woman who gave me this amazing guy… I would love for you to stop by.

I had big goals for today. It is my husband’s birthday and since I never have anything done ahead of time I had to work on his birthday gift with three small children who are banned from most shopping malls in tow. Putting my hours on Pinterest to good use, I picked a few cute photo ideas to try. First there was the balloon shot, but… The sun was in her eyes. He just thought I looked funny standing on {Read More}
Folded closely on the couch, an early morning softness weighs them down. Pajamas and blankets wrinkle Dora against Thomas the Train. Her ear drifts towards her brother’s shoulder and he bends his head the same. Careful not to disturb their closeness, I dole out sippy cups and whisper how happy I am they are best friends. My thoughts interrupt their trance and my son wiggles to his place in my lap. Do you have a best friend, Mommy? And I {Read More}
So this guy? The tall, handsome one kissing the short, blue-faced one. He screwed up once. I know. Can you believe it? And when that happens, what better to do than blog about it over at one of your all time favorite blogs? Today I’m sharing a Mark story with Liz of a belle a bean and a chicago dog. Grab a dish of Blue Moon and a spoon that’s as big as your head and read my post over {Read More}

When I was 18 I was already a mom. I remember talking with friends about my plans for the future. I would never wear mom-sweats (the yoga pant of today). Make up would be a must before I left the house. My pedicured foot would never touch the gas pedal of a minivan, only an SUV would do. I would balance the corporate world and motherhood perfectly, my college degree far to important to “waste”. And I would never let {Read More}
Have I ever mentioned before that my husband can dance? He’s sort of that guy who all of the women want to dance with because he actually can. You would think that this was one of those qualities that drew me to him instantly but actually it terrified me. I happen to be one of the few women in the world who does NOT like to dance and I was always afraid he would pull me out on a dance {Read More}
On a day out with Daddy you get to…ride in the car (not Mom’s Car Seat Mobile) go to the “Man Store” get an ice cream as big as your head eat ALL of it and pretend you are the King of the World for a little while anyway. (On a side note: If you are trying to decide between a Droid and an iPhone, all of the pics were taken with my husband’s new iPhone 4 except the last {Read More}
I'm Jessica, 30-something mom to five, four in my arms and one in my heart.
On any given day you will find me taxi-ing a teenager, mopping up our latest "art project" and trying to remember when I turned the crock pot on… all the while, looking for the closest Starbucks drive thru. more
