I’m officially the mother of a teenager!
How did this happen?? We now officially have a teenager in the house. Happy, Happy Birthday to my Brendan Bear… (Also realizing we spend many birthday dinners at Steak N Shake!)
Happy Birthday Patrick!
My little man turns 10 years old…here’s a walk down birthday memory lane…
Turning 40…my road to a mental breakdown?
One month from today, I turn the dreaded 4-0. Despite Oprah’s claim that life begins at 40, I’m having a hard time with it. And for that I blame When Harry Met Sally. I have watched this movie no less than 500 times. I remember watching it for the first time when I was in…
Winter Olympics Birthday Party
Sad family here as the Olympics wrap up. I’ve had my complaints with NBC’s coverage, I really have no other complaints about the games. It’s been great to watch and we, as a family, still can’t get enough. I do, however, wish that I could watch the big Gold Medal hockey games with my family. …
My baby boy turns 8 years old!
Happy birthday to my little Patrick. Today, he turns 8. It’s hard to believe. He’s always been my little cuddly boy. Thankfully, he still likes to cuddle and promises that he will forever. I will be holding him to this. I remember when he was born, my husband turned to me with a look of…

Happy Birthday to my first love, Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse is my first love. As a baby, my Aunt Laura’s mother (not my real aunt) sewed me a Mickey Mouse doll. It went with me everywhere. When I was about five I had my tonsils out and had to stay at the hospital. Mickey got his own hospital bracelet and stayed with me…
Brendan’s Top 10 Life Events
My little baby boy is 10 years old today. It’s pretty emotional for me. Ten is a big deal. Double-digits. Two hands. We’ve always used “ten” as the thing in our house. As in…”you can get a cell phone when you’re ten…” “you can stay home alone when you’re ten”…”you can play Call of Duty…
Minecraft Crafting
I have a love/hate relationship with birthday parties. I get really excited and pin 800 different ideas on my Pinterest boards. And then I have anxiety for weeks before the event trying to make all the things. It’s awesome, scary and exhausting. We have having a small party for my son’s 10th birthday. In exchange…
Birthday fun…with chocolate, parades & cake
It sucks getting old…but it’s better with chocolate. That’s deep knowledge I just threw out right there. DEEP. Each year, I just really want to celebrate with friends and drink. It’s not asking a lot really. But trying to get everyone together, without children, is never an easy thing. This year, we did things a…
