Bonding Breakfast

Remember the first day of school?  Walking into a new classroom, with a new teacher, and new kids.  Not fun.  Pretty scary, actually.  My neighbor had a GREAT idea for her kids…so we’ll share.

Last night I peaked into Caroline’s bedroom.  I love to watch my baby girl sleep.  It’s in her peacefulness that I find my own peace.

Behind the Scenes—Meet Denise

It’s time to meet Denise.  If it weren’t for her, I don’t think I’d be able to turn on my computer, let alone do a daily blog.  Cheers to Denise!

Just like the movie “Saving Private Ryan” makes me want to be a better American, looking into my daughter’s eyes makes me want to be a better mother.  How has parenthood changed who you are?
