My definition of 'clean' has changed over the years. There was a time where I would have thought 'clean' meant clean. Now, I define it as: "an area where you can see some carpet and most of the trash is in a can" Case and point: this past weekend my kids took a container of sprinkles and…

I find myself on repeat a lot. And shockingly, I keep getting the same results. I keep thinking this will be the one time it is different; where the cause and effect phenomenon will not hold true. Apparently, that is a sign of insanity. Momma is gonna take back her sanity and try a little…

WARNING: COULD BE CONSIDERED TO CONTAIN SPOILERS My husband and I love the entertainment industry. Television and movies... it is our thing. But, we have opposite taste in these things. He is more of an 80's action-Rambo-all the Texas Chainsaw remakes kinda guy and I am more of the A Few Good Men - make me…

Everyday that I am with my little people I wonder how I am doing as a parent. Am I instilling the values I want to instill? Am I teaching them to be faithful, obedient, compassionate, strong and flexible? I have no idea. I know that today I failed my daughter. Getting ready for school she…

I always dread Sundays. It is the day before Monday. 'nuff said. But, I try to make them relaxing, enjoyable yet productive days for the fam. Start it off with a big breakfast usually consisting of eggs, breakfast meat, biscuits and if I am really fancy, fruit. Then, get some laundry done. And if I…
