I did something this week that I never thought I’d do. I started my son on a prescription of Paxil.
Yes, I too used to snub my nose at people who “medicated their children.” Who “took the easy way out.” It’s so easy to pass judgment when it’s...

After recently moving the TV out of my bedroom, I found a renewed appreciation for what a sanctuary that precious room in the house can be. A feeling I didn’t have every time I dared to step a toe into my son’s bedroom.
Think “teenage boy room” and a deluge of...

This is what my son calls himself now. As he stated so eloquently yesterday “I’m your blogging progeny!”
–sigh- They grow so fast.
Yesterday I suggested my 15yo man-cub start his own blog. We were chatting in the car on the way home from Sacramento and he was...

As the parent of a teenager, I’m constantly looking for way to improve communication in our house. A new idea came to me early on Sunday morning and I ran with it. I made a list of fun questions (two pages worth), printed out a copy for each of us and had everyone answer them together.

As my son got older I found myself wondering what he would enjoy in his Easter basket. He will always get a visit from the bunny in our house (and Santa for that matter) and I didn’t want to drop the ball just because he was maturing. Just what do you get a pre-teen or teenager for their...

Tomorrow my little “man-cub” turns 15. I never knew fifteen years could go so fast. In honor of him, this is a little “tribute to motherhood” blog.
Motherhood came knocking at my door at a tender age and when I wasn’t sure I was ready. I never...

There are times in your life when you may find yourself doing the unexpected. This may be something a little as NOT going straight home from picking the kids up, but stopping off for ice cream on the way (for no reason of course), or taking the kids to the grocery store with you at night when...

Yesterday was my son's 14th birthday. I honestly don't know where the time went. On one hand, it seems like he was just born a few years ago. I remember every moment as if it were just a few breaths away. On the other hand, I can't (and don't want to) remember a time in my life when he wasn't...

My family and I had been planning a Spring Break vacation to Hawaii for some time now. It was something I was really looking forward to. We had the dates all set, March 24th-28th. As the date drew near, we started seriously looking at vacation packages. We were pretty shocked. For a family of...

It's really difficult to make new friends when you're an adult. Especially, friends you have something in common with. Fortunately for me, this changed last year when I came across a small group of women in Austin, Texas known as Austin Craft Mafia. They are the original gangsters of the craft...
