Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. This is a day where all moms should be honored for all that they do; those things that we notice and the many things that they do behind the scenes. If you’re like me, the day is shared with other moms. My mother, my sister, my grandmother and the other mother in … Continue reading
My Real Second Anniversary
This week, I am celebrating the second anniversary of my site. I have to say that while I consider myself an organized person that follows through with my responsibilities, I am a bit surprised that I have stuck with this for two years. I am proud of the work that I have done. The parents and educators … Continue reading
The Motherhood Club
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I have been thinking about my introduction to the motherhood club. I remember it completely! The extra freezer in the garage had gone out and I was removing the half-frozen contents before the repairman came. I grabbed the phone in between trips to the garage and that’s when it … Continue reading
Nine At My House
In just two months, my boy will be nine. Nine?! I just got used to saying that I have an eight years old son. What is nine supposed to look like? I’m not sure since this is my only child and even the students that I have taught for more than two decades have always been younger … Continue reading
I Choose My Son

I kept saying out loud, “I knew I had that picture somewhere?!” I don’t know about you, but when I used to have a camera with film, I seemed to … Continue reading
Enemy Number One
What is Enemy number one to a writer? No, it isn’t a lack of time to get clever thoughts into complete sentences. It isn’t having that perfectly selected word leave you when the phone jolts you back to reality. It isn’t even the lack of fresh ideas. The biggest enemy to a writer…is a confidentiality agreement! If … Continue reading
So…How Is It?
It has been about a month since we traded the big school for home school; I thought I would provide an update. First, I want to thank those of you that continue to send encouraging and supportive emails and share comments about your personal stories. Based on the comments that I have received, especially from the recent … Continue reading
The Bunny Weekend Report
This weekend was a great weekend. It was the kind of weekend that was made up of just the right amount of relaxing at home and making our way out for fun and family. As always, we started the weekend off with our traditional Friday Family Movie Night. The day was hectic so instead of … Continue reading
Does the Good REALLY Outweigh the Bad?
Let me start by saying that I am not trying to insult or judge parenting decisions made by anyone. I honestly believe that we all do our best with the knowledge that we currently possess and that parenting is a series of doing-the-best-we-can-moments. Having said that…I have been wondering about emails and comments that I … Continue reading
