Love Does
“I get the invitation each morning, when I wake up to actually live a life of complete engagement, a life of whimsy, a life where love does.”

Shoe Shopping
Friends, Followers…I might have been mentioned a time of two that I have a thing for shoes. I admit it. I have a bit of an addiction to them. Let’s face it. When you aren’t a size 5, 7, or even a 9, 12, or 14… shoes and accessories can be a girl’s best friend! However, I think that I have created this same kind of thing in my son! Well, it’s in the beginning stages, but I might be in...

Mommy, you look like a princess...
Part of our morning ritual includes me asking K, as we are walking out the door, how I look. I have “trained” him to say “You are so pretty Mommy!” However, as he has gotten older, he has changed it up to say things like, “You are very handsome!” or “Yeah, you look great!” or even, at times, “I don’t like that shirt, but you look...

Happy Mothers Day Z
Well, it’s been almost 6 months since I last wrote to/about you! I think about you each and every day. When I look into our son’s eyes, I see glimpses of you and imagine what you must look like. Oh how I wish I knew what you looked like. I wish we had a picture of you, something, so that when K and I talk about you, we could look at your face and speak to you rather than simply about you. You...

Dog Crap
No, I don’t have a dog. Actually, I have never owned a dog. Since my new boss came to work with us almost 2 years ago, he has graciously shared his dog with the office. Mack, the dog, brings a wonderfully great vibe to the office. He is an immediate icebreaker for dog lovers and even dog fearers. I have, somehow, become his surrogate office Auntie/dog sitter. I also want to add—K-man LOVES...

It’s ok to be different, right?
K has been watching PBS and one of the shows is called “Super Why”. On a recent episode, there was a situation where the kids had to help their friend dress up for Cinderella’s ball. She gets the gown and the dress (by her friends helping her spell the words) but when midnight strikes, all of the glitz and glamour disappears and she runs away. She is ashamed that she doesn’t’ have all the nice...

Quote from Grandpa
Scene: I am off to Denver for a work conference and my parents are getting to watch K for the week. I packed his clothes and brought them over a day early, so that they could let me know if there was anything that I missed.
Saturday morning at 715 AM—my phone rings and it’s my dad.
GPA: Um, I noticed that you didn’t pack K any Lakers shirts.
Me: No Dad, I didn’t. I...

Foundational Truths
As a parent, it’s my goal to train, encourage, listen, observe, guide and discipline. Clearly parenting isn’t just about these things, but that’s the basics. As I have been on this journey and what I have learned from other parents who I respect, there are several “rules”, or as I like to call them, truths, that this kid needs to have as part of his foundation. This is just the start to the...
