Upside Down

The following story is entirely fiction. It’s only base in reality is what exists in my head. This did NOT happen to me! But please read on and let me know what you think!

I could never have imagined this moment. It all happened so quickly and the events were still fuzzy. I felt [...]

Smelly Cats

I grew up with cats. For the most part, I really love cats. Plus, I find them to be easy, low-maintenance pets. For the most part. But they are animals. And just like children, they drive me crazy sometimes.

Being an avid Friends fan, I felt that Phoebe’s ode to cats pretty much [...]

Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Exhaustion had set in. I reached for my sugar-filled Pepsi and took a swig. It was a long, wonderful, bubbly swig. I could nearly feel the caffeine coursing through my body. I knew it was bad for me. I had seen The Biggest Loser.

I closed my eyes and tried to ignore my [...]

Inspiration

I watch the children interact. Mister A has a green storage bin on his head and his sisters are happily pounding on it at his encouragement. I smile at the moment and I know I have to share. I have to share the beauty I see in it. And so I write.

I stood there, looking across one of the highest, longest, suspended swinging bridges in the world, and I could feel the panic well up inside of me. I wasn’t entirely sure how I had been talked into crossing this series of bridges. But here I stood. And there was no easy way to back [...]

Why blog?

Today is the 5th and final day of the SITS girls Back 2 Blogging challenge. Today’s challenge is simply to explain why you blog. Easy enough, right?

Wrong.

I blog for so many different reasons and it’s hard to explain the why’s of it. But I’ll give it a shot.

I am a stay at home mother to five children ranging [...]

Snakes

I’m standing in the middle of the formal dining room at my grandparents house. There’s a large picture window on one wall and the room is wide and opens into an adjacent room. There’s an old grandfather clock in the corner. I stand there, taking in my surroundings, sensing something wrong.
