Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

I know, I know. You were hoping for a race report, and I promise, I’m working on it. But a situation came up today that has me thinking about something else.

My first post as a regular contributor to the Texas Health Moms Blog posted today! It’s not long, and it’s just some thoughts I had coming up on Sam’s first birthday in (gulp) just over a month! I do hope you’ll enjoy it, and leave me a comment, there or here, to let me know […]

Back in September, I got to do a guest blog entry for the Texas Health Moms blog. You’ll no doubt remember how excited I was to get to do this! (Yes, I know that’s a lot of links for the first two sentences. It’s my blog; I’ll link as much as I want to.) Guess […]

I ran my first ever 10K race today. To say I felt unprepared would be an understatement. I’ve been training for the Dallas Rock-n-Roll half marathon at the end of March, and had been doing pretty well, until . . . remember that ice/snow I posted about from the beginning of the month?

We all know her. She’s that woman who fusses at the teenagers from two houses down (who really aren’t doing any harm, or even being loud) to not lay in the street at night in dark clothes. She’s that woman who looks down her nose hautily at the too-short skirts and shorts and low-cut tops of […]

I have to confess something. I have a jealous streak – a big one. I try to suppress it, and most of the time I’m successful. But there are days when I don’t do so well at controlling my green-eyed monster. Sometimes it rears up when I least expect it. Like the way my husband […]

Since I haven’t gotten around to publishing my Hanukkah post yet, some of y’all might not know that last Saturday, Sam came down with his first nasty, retching tummy bug (which, subsequently, Daddy and I both got, but that’s another story, of which I will spare you the details).  Now, I should also mention that […]

I have found a new woman to admire. A friend of mine shared this article, and I am now in love. While I’m not sure I’ve ever truly tried to be a Supermom, I have had aspirations. Unrealistic aspirations, really; ones that leave me sometimes feeling beaten down or overwhelmed at all that Supermom would […]

Since yesterday’s post was a little bit of a downer, I thought I might amuse you today with an account of my attempt to get back in some sort of pre-pregnancy shape. Anyone who has children (small or otherwise) knows that it’s hard to carve out enough time for yourself to shower and have a […]

Today I experienced the sisterhood of Mommies–the way two women who have never seen each other in their lives can almost immediately bond over kiddos, no matter how brief the encounter.
