I haven’t been super anxious about the Coronavirus. I have logically thought through every scenario. I have read the reports coming out of Italy and talked to my husband about my fears or being in a category of people who may get sick and not get treatment. I have rationally considered that we actually have […]

As moms, we tell our kids that we have eyes in the backs of our heads. And for a while they believe us. For many years of their lives, they are convinced a kiss from us will truly fix their boo-boo. What happens when something comes along like Coronavirus that we, as moms, can’t fix? […]

Fear can be all consuming. It can make a normally level headed person turn into a person who can’t think straight, can’t function through daily activities, and maybe even a person who is hoarding items from the grocery store “just in case.” Coronavirus is the buzzword for fear right now. In every city in the […]

There is a general feeling of widespread panic throughout our country right now because of the Coronavirus. And possibly rightfully so. If you are older, immunocompromised, have young children, you do fall into a category that is at a greater risk for complications with the virus. I myself fall into the category that needs to […]

Have you ever had a week where you were just completely overwhelmed? I’ve had one of those this week. Some of it is my own fault. I like to take on the world. I see projects that need done, or ways I can help and I dive in before I stop to consider just how […]

I never considered appearance something that instilled confidence in a child. But I saw in front of my eyes my own daughter light up with confidence as her appearance changed before our eyes today. I had written about our hair experience when my daughter had her hair cut off, and it was cute, but neither […]

I have this grand idea that if I try really hard I can control everything around me. Isn’t that a wonderful illusion? What is reality? Control slips through our fingers like grains of sand at the seashore being pulled back out to sea. We can’t keep all of those grains together in our hands no […]

We had an amazing experience today taking our daughter to a new hair stylist. That sounds crazy, it shouldn’t be a thing that is worthy of a blog post. But for moms who have adopted, have kids with hair types different than you do, or simply are overwhelmed by the sheer number of products available […]

Transformation. When I look at these two pictures, I see transformation. And this is after the awful carpet came up, so the transformation is truly even more stunning. Metamorphosis, the process of changing from one thing to another. It isn’t always easy. I will tell you even this change from mismatched, ugly floors to beautiful, […]
