The first time I remember hearing about a colonoscopy was when Katie Couric’s husband died from colon cancer. Katie was so passionate about getting everyone tested she, herself, televised a portion of her procedure (or something like that. That was several thousand lost brain cells ago). When you’re young (or even young’ish) you think 50Continue reading “Colonoscopy”

Angel
I was making our bed this morning when I glanced up and saw the most beautiful angel standing in the corner of our bedroom. He was very tall (7 or 8 feet), very handsome (understatement) and dressed in all black. He had dark, shoulder-length wavy hair and mesmerizing sapphire blue eyes. While I’m not in theContinue reading “Angel”
Relish
I was recently struck with the enormity of how much my daughter has grown. How did three years pass so quickly? How is it possible? More importantly, HOW did I get through parts of it?! Far warning to my gentle readers, I am going to say the word, “nipple” about 15 times and be ratherContinue reading “Relish”
Hurry
When I walk my daughter to daycare, we cross a busy 4-way residential intersection that is controlled by stop signs. I’m amazed that some people can’t wait seven seconds (yes, you know me, I timed it!) for us to cross and yet others are so respectful they’ll stop a car’s length away. Some smile whileContinue reading “Hurry”
Eyes
A new acquaintance recently asked me, “What personal quality of yours do you hope your child will adopt?” Surprisingly, with all the great qualities I possess (cough), it didn’t take long to come up with the (as in the royal “the”, not the American “the”) answer. As a side note, what was surprising was beingContinue reading “Eyes”
Vermin
Many, MANY years ago in a what seems like a different lifetime, I lived in a home that was located within a budding new development (read: open lots/fields). I was trying to be domestic by planting flowers (ewwww…shutter!) and I was truly the ultimate Attila the Mom with my new plantings. That’s where God’s littleContinue reading “Vermin”
SQUIRREL!
“Oh, dear GOD, I am a lunatic!” I wasn’t belittling or abasing myself. No, this was more of an acknowledgement. Dear God, I am a LUNATIC. I caught myself saying this while doing what so many kazillion of us do; multi-tasking. Although for me, ‘multi’ doesn’t cut it anymore. I came up with a newContinue reading “SQUIRREL!”
Coconut Oil
I’m a relative newcomer to the coconut oil bandwagon. A few years ago, Charmaine told me how I could evenly substitute coconut oil for butter when making cookies or while cooking. It took me a while to warm up to the idea but once I did, it was bub-bye butter. Shannon has told me sheContinue reading “Coconut Oil”
Morning
As my two year old daughter lay sleeping, I was thrilled to be able use the potty ALONE. It’s a total luxury and one that doesn’t often happen (right, moms?!). Most of the time my daughter is chasing me as fast as her little legs will allow. Sometimes I’m quicker and get to the bathroomContinue reading “Morning”
Crazy
Google defines ‘crazy’ as: “Mentally deranged, esp. as manifested in a wild or aggressive way.” It goes on to add synonyms such as: insane, out of one’s mind, deranged, demented and lunatic. Seriously, with descriptions like this, is it any wonder we fear those with mental illness? I have a friend who went through physicalContinue reading “Crazy”
