I have two of the worlds most typical boys. They fight. They wrestle. They like cars, superheroes and Legos. Mostly they like to wrestle and not always with each other. * * * A couple days ago, […]

Dreams
Reading has always been one of my favorite pastimes and my imagination is wicked. That being said I can’t read Stephen King. I’ve been terrified of clowns ever since I tried reading IT. I didn’t even come close to finishing the book, I got maybe 2 chapters in and started losing sleep; I decided […]
King Luther
Bash came home from school last week excited to tell me about what he had learned that day. Bash: Momma, today we learned all about King Luther and all of the good things he did. Me: King Luther…King Luther…never heard of him. Bash: Yes you have, momma! That robot voice on that song we like, […]
Flexible
I’ve never been very flexible. In grade school sitting criss-cross applesauce was a challenge that I just gave up on. In High School during the Presidential fitness test, I passed everything but the sit-and-reach. All I needed to get was one inch past my toes. I tried 4 times and my best result was zero…the first […]

Rock your weird.
I married a class A weirdo. If you have ever met him, you know I’m not lying. If he isn’t trying to convince me he was an opera singer in his past life by singing opera style music at the top of his lungs then he’s contorting his face and holding the face poses until I […]
MN Blog Conference Re-Cap
This year, by the generosity of my friends, I was able to attend the MN Bloggers Conference. I’ve been writing on a blog for about 3 years and I haven’t even heard of this conference (insert embarrassed emoji). The problem is I haven’t networked much. I was beyond excited to attend the conference just for […]
