Close to home

By admin On July 31, 2012 · Add Comment
It’s been 15 years since I packed up all of my worldly belongings, loaded them into my ’87 Ford Tempo, and drove across town and knocked on the door of my best friend’s home. I was 17 years old. I had graduated from high school the day before, and when I returned home from my [...]

Thanks for the memories Momaha

By admin On July 25, 2012 · Add Comment
In October of 2009, an advertisement in the Omaha World-Herald caught my eye. They were looking for moms who like to write to join a team of bloggers for a new website. It asked for two articles, and this was one I sent: Six Years ago…. I became a parent. I was not prepared. I [...]

Raising good kids

By admin On July 12, 2012 · Add Comment
I am not just a mom of boys, I am a mother of a future generation of men. That is a tall order. In between trying to keep them alive, my husband and I are also trying to prepare them for their future lives. We try very hard to let them know the rationale behind [...]

Making friends in D.C.

By admin On July 4, 2012 · Add Comment
I was in Washington D.C. for less than eight hours on Friday. I was in town for a meeting, and at the last minute my husband was able to fly along with a stand-by ticket. And while we didn’t have much time for sight-seeing, my husband and I made the best of the few hours we had. We [...]

Birthday Month

By admin On July 2, 2012 · 2 Comments
It’s July. You know what that means? It’s my birthday month! (For those of you unaware of  birthday month, it refers to the ability to have extra privileges and license for the entire month of your birth. You’re welcome. Live it up!) In case you also weren’t aware, I obviously suffer from SBS (Summer Birthday Syndrome). It [...]

A perfect game

By admin On June 13, 2012 · Add Comment
Do you know what keeps the Earth spinning on its axis? Do you know why the the tide rolls in each night? Do you know how the birds know when it’s time to migrate? According to my father-in-law, it’s the same answer for all three: The Infield fly rule. When I first heard him say [...]

How to save a life

By admin On June 6, 2012 · Add Comment
I have never used super-human strength to lift a vehicle off of someone after a car-accident. I have never knocked someone out of the way of a speeding locomotive. I have never used CPR to save someone’s life. I am not a hero. Yet. En route to my home, in a neat little package, is [...]

Summer days

By admin On May 25, 2012 · 1 Comment
It’s not often that I envy the life of an adolescent girl. In fact, those were the most awkward days of my life. The teeth, the hair, and the oily skin all combined for an atrocious existence. Not to mention the pixie cut my mom gave me. Ugh. Awful. However, I met a young lady on [...]

Siblings that drive you nuts

By admin On May 23, 2012 · 1 Comment
(Diary of 9-year-old Isaiah, an older brother and Lego lover.) My brothers drive me crazy. Don’t get me wrong. There are times I really enjoy them. We have fun together. We play. But there are times when they make me so angry I could just scream. Sometimes, especially after Saturday afternoon, I wish I was [...]

Weekend Getaway

By admin On May 11, 2012 · Add Comment
Boy, oh, boy. We’ve had our eye on the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City for a long time. And finally, we were able to make the three-hour trek for a night. And our boys were ecstatic. We’ve been to the Coco Key Water Resort in Omaha many times, but had heard such wonderful things [...]
