Have you ever gotten caught up in the vortex of your own blogging life? The place where you have a laundry list of things you want to write about, share, engage people with and then you just get sucked into another writing prompt or another meme? This is what has happened to me…

How I Tell My Story {Pour Your Heart Out}
My voice. Everyone is busy searching for their voice right now, pouring over their words, choosing the ones that said something this year and hoping that they spoke to the heart of their audience. I did it too; I took a journey through my words and realized that my voice was missing. From the…
Five is Fabulous (Yep I was surprised by it too)
It’s no secret. For me: One was Overwhelming. Two was Terrible. Three was Torture. ( I often (& loudly) exclaimed that I wasn’t sure all 4 of us would make it to 4) Four was Frustrating. You’d think for all the time I waited, prayed and hoped to be granted the moniker of “Mommy” I…
I Love You Just the Way You Are (Pour Your Heart Out)
Unless you’re new around these parts, you know that my son Jacob loves to dress up. As Santa. As Scrooge. As Willy Wonka. As Harry Potter. It’s so much a part of him, that I hardly pay attention anymore. It’s…
On Being a Phenomenal Woman {International Women’s Day 2013}
Source: 3.bp.blogspot.com via International Women’s Day on Pinterest Once upon a time, a lifetime ago, I graduated from college with a degree in Government with a minor in Women’s Studies.

I Can…Say Your Name
It took me four years to get Pregnant with Giovanni and Jacob. Years where my faith was tested, my hopes were dashed and my spirit was emptied month after month, cycle after cycle and year after year. When my sons were born my one and only prayer was, “Please don’t take…
SOC-Meeting Myself.
A few days ago, I read Erin Margolin’s blog (as I normally do) and her SOC from Jana. Starting with “I am…” I tweeted it, because it touched me, it was wonderful and introspective, and then it touched Mags (love her too) who did her own today. This exercise is one of just…
Just Be Enough: Listening
My journey to become a mother was a long one, a sad one (at times) but it is truly one of the greatest adventures of my life. Back in February, I wanted to share some of that story in my own words, to leave a piece of it for Giovanni & Jacob to see…
Proud Mommy Moments: Arnebya is Here (I LOVE Her)
When I started Proud Mommy Moments, way back in May 2011, I wanted more than anything, for us as parents to be able to find a MOMENT (in the middle of all the chaos that is raising our children) and not only be proud of our children but be proud of ourselves too. I also dreamed that people would be clamoring…
Proud Mommy Moments: Julie (By Any Other Name) is Visiting (*happy sighs*)
By other name she’d be called Genuine, Intelligent, Warm Hearted. But today, I am calling her, Friend, Mommy, Honored Guest of the Corner. Julie Gardner is here and I’m thrilled. Julie is a kindred spirit of mine, when she writes (Like this amazing post) I feel a sense of “someone gets me”, “She understands”. Whether she…
