No More Kisses!!

I guess I knew the day would come, but I never thought it would be here so soon.

Missing The Holidays Already!!

I began taking the Christmas decorations down over the weekend. As I reluctantly removed each stocking from the mantle, I must admit to feeling a little melancholy.

Sick of Being Sick

In the last three weeks I've had two major illnesses and while I can't say which one was worse - I can tell you this, "I am sick of being sick!"

Missing Mommy

So...after a few months on the job, I just learned that my three-old year has been crying for me every single morning!

First Day of Kindergarten

It was nothing like I imagined. I've heard the stories...Mother's "boo hooing" on their child's first day of school. Sweet, but not me.

Selling a House With Kids

If you've ever tried to sell a house, you know it can be tough. If you've ever tried to sell a house and have kids - you know it can be even tougher.

Mom on the Move

My life has been a whirlwind!! In the last month, I have left a job of 10 years. Started a brand new one. Put my house up for sale. AND... I'm looking to move into a new home - in a new city - hopefully before schools starts.

T-Ball Time, June 12

Other than gymnastics, my boys haven't been involved in any organized sports. So when I signed Tyler up for T-Ball - I didn't really know what to expect. Would he be too scared to participate? Would there be tears if he made a mistake? Would he even want to do it ? I found out today - I had no reason to worry!

The Bathroom Battle

There's a battle brewing in public restrooms all over our city. And it's all because my boys don't want to go into the restroom with me because they say they're not girls!!!!

I think I just discovered the first draw back in having a house full of men. They smell!

The Cost of Family Entertainment, April 4

Our boys love basketball so when I heard the Harlem Globetrotters where coming to town - I couldn't wait to tell my husband. He was on board, too - UNTIL he found out how much the tickets cost.

Poo Goes in The Pot! March 13

"Poo Goes in the Pot." That's exactly what I tell my youngest son everyday as we try to take him to the next level in his potting training. But when it's time to go -her forgets all that and just goes...whenever - wherever.

Reconnecting, Feb 28

Since I've been a wife - particularly since I became a mom, I have lost touch with many of my close, childhood friends. So this year I've dedicated myself to reconnecting.

Playing With the Big Boys, Feb 15

When it comes to friends, my sons Tyler and Jordan have each other. Don't get my wrong, Tyler has made some good friends at pre-school and they both love their cousins, but their day to day fun pretty much revolves around each other and us..... That changed this weekend.

Early Kindergarten Jitters, Feb 1

I just got my first kindergarten round-up letter in the mail. It made me cringe.

A Birthday Miracle! Jan. 19

If you've read any of my blogs, you know how frustrating birthday celebrations and holidays have been for me because of my parent's divorce. Unfortunately, it's been like that all of my life. I never had a birthday party, a graduation party, a big wedding or reception - mainly because of all the family drama I've witnessed and tried to avoid.

I'm turning a year older this week, and I have to tell you, my little ones (with a little prepping from dad) made my special day even more special.

Good-Bye Christmas, Hello New Year! Jan. 4

I miss Christmas already! And it's not just me - it's still all my kids can talk about. However, there is something to be said for a new year and a fresh start. There are so many things I didn't get right in 2010 - so I'm excited about the chance to do them all better.

Christmas: My Favorite Things, December 21

I have to say - even though I am not a fan of the cold weather, THIS is truly my favorite time of the year.

There comes a time when you realize even your four-year-old will tell you a little white lie. It happened to me this morning.

We Want A Sister!! Nov. 29

We Want a Sister! Those are the words that have been coming from my two and four-year-old boys lately. I'm not sure how and why this all started, but they have convinced themselves that this is a legitimate demand and that a little sister would be a good addition to our family.

Thank You God For Cheerios, November 15

"Thank you God for Cheerios." That's exactly what my four-year-old son said in front of a crowd of about 100 people Friday.

Working Out: A Family Affair, 11/8

For the past four years I've tried to shuffle being a wife, a mom, a good daughter and oh yeah....a news anchor - while also trying to keep my heart healthy by working out at least three to five times a week. Needless to say it has been a challenge.

Cancer Mom, Oct 31

I am writing this on the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I just couldn't let it go by without saying something about the disease. This is in honor of all the young moms out there who are battling breast cancer and still doing all the things we moms do everyday - cook, clean - drive the kids around. Keep up the faith and the fight!
