I’m. Grumpy. I’ve got nothin’ but another rainy day and another rescheduled shoot. My kid’s got a bloody, fat lip after a playtime accident last night, and the wall near my patio got tagged yet again by delinquent neighborhood high schoolers. I’m tired of waiting for summer to finally arrive. Tired of my husband’s ridiculous commute […]
I learned a new word recently. “Threenager.” It’s a funny (if you aren’t trying to raise one), eerily accurate word to describe a three-year-old who suddenly possesses all of the nasty mood swings, stubborn, know-it-all attitude, and volatile temper of a full-fledged teen member of the entitlement generation. We completely skipped the terrible twos, […]
For the past three years, we have vacationed in Marco Island, Florida. The beach is one of my favorite places in the world. It’s my happy place. The place where I can breathe, reset, and regain perspective. I don’t think I’ve ever needed to feel the ocean breeze, hear the crashing waves, and sink my feet into […]
You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away. *Just take a moment.

So glad you didn’t lie and say it made up for everything! LOL I would only have made the rest of us feel like failures! Love your blog Jen! I really look forward to reading it.
There hasn’t been a day in my life when she hasn’t dropped everything to have my back. And to this day, there isn’t a single person in the world who I would rather have in my corner. She may be little, but she’s mighty. The strongest person I’ve ever met. She taught me what kind […]
Aww! You brought tears to my eyes!
I LOVE the time I get to spend with you and cherish watching Eloise grow up. You are already a wonderful mother to Ellie, and I am SO proud of the woman you have become. Happy Mother’s Day to you, too!
I went through this “special time” with you and your sister, Jenny, and lived to talk about it. So hang in there, Honey. Some day, you will be telling Eloise all about this when she is going through the same thing with her kiddos. It is a right of passage. I love being a part of your lives, and I hope I can always be of some help 🙂
