• Celebrating My Birthday

  published: 12/30/2009 12:00:00 AM

      If enjoying celebrating your birthday as a grown up is wrong, I don’t want to be right. 
      I recently had another birthday. As I enjoyed my day, I thought of friends I know who don’t like to make a big deal about their birthdays. In fact, they’d prefer if everyone would just forget they even had a birthday. Not me.

• A Crazy Christmas List

  published: 12/23/2009 12:00:00 AM

      I’ve learned a couple of things this holiday season.  First of all, I learned that you shouldn't’t ask your children what they want for Christmas after you have already bought their presents.  Second, I learned that I will likely never understand what goes on inside the head of a little boy.

      A few nights ago, after reading some Christmas stories to my preschoolers, I asked them what they would like for Christmas.  I really should ...

      All week we wondered whether it would be worth it. Saturday morning we decided we'd give it a try. I continued to wonder whether it would be worth it as I packed clothes, snacks, entertainment for the car, a single stroller, and a double stroller.

      Finally, just before noon on Saturday, my husband and I were in the van with our three young children. We were headed to Branson to check out An Old Time ...

• The Third Time is a Charm

  published: 12/2/2009 12:00:00 AM

      As I stood in line waiting to check out, I looked down at my youngest child who sat in her stroller. I noticed she didn't have socks on and didn't think too much about it even though it was late November. At least I didn't think much about it until I looked back up and noticed an older woman looking at my daughter. I thought I saw her glance at my daughter's feet, so I ...
