Happy Birthday Brayden!

Over 10 months ago, I moved to Goose Creek and the invasion of random boys into my house began. I randomly fed guys home cooked meals knowing that the conversation and random facts about Conor would help me to void that homesick feeling I had been unable to shake. 
I don’t think I’ll forget meeting James [...]

A few Letters

Dear Ethan,
Please stop breaking my clothespins. I have no idea where you keep finding them but I have no idea how to fix them so please stop! 
Love,  Mommy
PS You look 2 today, you will never wear that outfit again!
Dear Cable Man,
I have been dreading your arrival for 2 days now. A four hour time frame [...]

The Baby Book

Sure, I have one. It is adorable; yellow and blue. I even have a specific pen reserved for only that book. The problem is I have only written in it one day since Ethan was born. I filled out all the fun, random facts about Conor and I before Ethan was born. Then, like every [...]

Don’t mess with me!

While I am not an extremely aggressive person, lately I have felt the urge to stand up for things I believe. It started a while ago when a thirty-something year old fat  man knocked over my little Zach at the sprinkler park! The park is marked for 8 and under and jackass had a crew of [...]

Grace and Veggie Tales

I grabbed my boys hands and said I [...]

Milo, Milo, Milo

I love Milo..I promise I do. He is my very first pet and I waited 22 years for the perfect dog. After a 4 hour drive, Conor and I picked out beautiful, hyper Milo the Mighty McKee. He has moved around a bit and has been to more states than some people but he does [...]

Careful what you say…

As a mom, I know it is my job to create a safe and loving environment for Ethan. I know I am far from perfect but I do love him immensely. Every child presents different challenges and while I am not exactly quick to judge, I did when  I saw a woman at Branch Medical (the doctors office) who was [...]

We miss you Chris!

I am currently home for Ben’s graduation party but Chris had to keep working back in Houston. I have had so much fun with my cousins, family and friends. We had ate and drank too much. Ethan will take weeks to recover from all the attention he has been getting =) Still, home just isn’t [...]
