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!

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.

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.

This is an exciting time of year for a number of reasons..the leaves begin to change colors, the kids get a chance to dress up in costumes, we get to visit the highly anticipated pumpkin patch - and of course - FOOTBALL.

Did That Kid Just Hit My Son? Sept. 22

Our "Mommy & Me" gymnastics class turned a little physical for my little one this week. I'm still not exactly sure what happened, but I think Jordan got in front of a boy when it was his turn to roll down the mat. Apparently the little guy didn't like that much because - he reached back and whacked Jordan right in the head. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Did that little boy just hit my son?
