Just like there is always bad news out there–there is always good news too. This is my attempt to find it and share it. Just click the links to read the stories–I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. 1. Space X Astronauts return to earth. The miracle of space travel occurred again…
We are living in unprecedented times right now and I know we all get tired of the gloom and doom being reported day in and day out. I’m not a “pollyanna” that will try to put a positive spin on grim things, neither am I comfortable sticking my head in the sand and ignoring reality…
Let’s talk for a minute. Remember WAY back in January when I told you about making a list of Goals Not Resolutions? (you can read about that here and here) I was so young and naïve then. Sigh. Those were good times. So, what should I do now? Scrap the list? Re-write it? Or….is it…
Just a little over 13 years ago, I was privileged (and thrilled) to join the exclusive club of motherhood. I still remember how it felt to celebrate my very first official Mother’s Day. Over the years I’ve learned that motherhood is NOTHING like what I thought it would be. There is no more thinking about…
This week I noticed that we finally, finally, FINALLY have some tulips blooming. Here in Colorado our early year seasons go something like: winter, spring?, definitely winter, maybe spring?, nope back to winter, summer–so our poor little plants burst out of the ground during one of the false springs, then it seems like since they…
Does anyone else feel like we’re living in an episode of Twilight Zone right now?

Don’t we feel…
To sum up our ADHD journey (you can read part 1, part 2, and part 3): We discovered our older son, Morgan has ADHD in 3rd grade (5 years ago now) We tried one class of ADHD medication (there are 4 classes of medication). It worked great for helping him focus and sit still, but…
During this whole journey of discovering that Morgan struggled with ADHD (you can read part 1 and part 2), we were constantly trying to figure out what was his “normal” and what was ADHD. There are no clear cut answers because all of us struggle with short attentions spans occasionally or feeling restless when we’re…
It’s been a long while since I’ve written about my older son, Morgan. (Here are a few posts I’ve written about him in the past: here, here, and here ). Long story short–he has ADHD. He’s now in 7th grade and we have been on quite the roller coaster ride trying to figure out how…
Valentine’s Day is wonderful because it’s all about celebrating the romantic love of a couple. Super Rockstar and I have enjoyed over 25 Valentine’s Day’s together and they have all been special. I love all of the candy and gifts that we give to each other and celebrating loving each other with a special night…
