How do craft a dream into practicality? There are so many different components to achieving a dream that it may seem insurmountable. But, if you break those components down into manageable tasks, you can make those steps toward your goal. This week, I was pushed (in a good way) toward one of my dreams. I…… Continue Reading

OM :: The Cup of Crazy
I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family these past couple of weeks. Add in the frequent visits to my parents’ and our trip last week to Colorado with my father-in-law and brother-in-law, it all adds up to a concentrated dose of FAMILY. Most everyone says that their family is crazy or that…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Life with Boys
Overall, it’s been a fun week on vacation in Colorado with lots of activities and mostly fine weather. What I forget before coming here twice a year is that I will be the lone female. Three adult males and two little boys all living in the same space with me. I’ve mentioned that as a…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Trip Flip
On this last day before our family vacation, I’m excited to have jiggered my brain into actually taking the vacation. As a family, we travel to Colorado twice a year to see my father-in-law.

And it’s taking a toll. I’m really not complaining – it’s more like wishing for time I…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Banana Bread
Many of the blogs I read usually have beautiful photos of stylized objects. I try to make this blog as pretty as possible without compromising reality. This photo ain’t pretty, but the action behind it was. My husband was home with our 4yo and it was that time of day for whining and possible melt-downs.…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Staycation

OM :: The Graduate
Eli’s graduation was yesterday. The same day my dad was being released from the hospital after his open heart surgery. I thought fo shizzle I was going to miss the ceremony. I kept telling myself that it’s just a ten minute performance and if I miss it, it’s not the end of the world. But…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Open Heart
My One Moment this week hasn’t happened yet. My dad is having open heart surgery today. My moment will come when he can look me in the eye after it’s over. Thank you for all your support. It means so much. :::… Continue Reading
