Friday, March 7th, 2008

As moms we can very so often get into a routine and rut. Even those who say they do not like routine can still get into rut. I do love routine, structure, but I do not like to be stuck in a rut. Doing the same thing over and over. Laundry, cleaning, cooking, errands, and [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

I thought, this Sunday being mother’s day, I would feature a few other great mothers. (These are in no particular order) First: It is the text message we all want to get, and laugh at. It is the main reason we bother to leave our husbands with the kids. Read Holly’s story about leaving her [...]
