Are You An Overprotective Mom Too?

You have heard it said that confession is good for the soul...right? Well, I confessed...about my overprotective mom ways today, right out for the world to read about over at Family Matters. Here's a smidge of my guest post over there... Being a mom brings out the absolute “protect and preserve” gene in all of us, which can be a great thing. But it can also be a not so great thing. Case in point: my need to over-protect and preserve my … [Read more...]

You Can Handle The Truth!

Well friends, today I am spouting out some seriously needed to be heard mom truth over at MomLife Today - I hope you'll stop by over there and soak it in! My next few days will be spent quietly reflecting, reading about the life and death of Jesus, watching Passion of the Christ and spending time with family and friends. Typing words seems inadequate at such a time as this...we would all be better off spending time in God's word, not on the … [Read more...]

Prom Dress Made Of Starburst Wrappers!!!

Through the years I have felt that I was an involved mom. A mom willing to go "above and beyond" to connect with and do things for my children. But I have just "met" a mom from Wisconsin that has gone further than most any mom would have the capacity to go by making her daughters prom dress...out of Starburst wrappers! I kid you not, watch the video... Just watching that makes me tired, really ... I mean really? Where did she find the time … [Read more...]

Stay At Home Mom Thoughts

Moms need to stick together...because we all need every drop of support we can get! I get most frustrated when the whole "stay at home vs work outside of the home" mom wars rip through the headlines. I have seen that more than I care to the last few months. I won't even provide links, the articles will probably just frustrate you...as they do me. I am of the mindset that we all should support and educate one another regarding our lives so that … [Read more...]

Senior Daughter = Bling With Wheels

Oh my gosh! I have always said April and May were the crazy busy months for all moms. Well, let's ramp that up a gazillion notches when your daughter is a Senior in High School. So much to do...so little time - is no longer a cliche - it is my existence! I am enjoying all that we are doing, even though the pace seems a bit much! But hey, I think I am managing to stay on top of things, so it's all good. Graduation photos, invitations, … [Read more...]

37 Teens Die in One School

When I was in High School I had class mates who died as a result of traffic accidents, as did my siblings. It always seemed to happen in the Spring...maybe it's a symptom of Spring Fever among teens. Driving a bit too fast, experimenting with alcohol, being out having fun a bit more often, not believing that cell phone usage and text messaging while driving is a bad thing. Yeah, I used a dramatic headline ... to get your attention, but those … [Read more...]
