Life as we know it
(reposted from the HennHouse) We’ve traded late night, happy hour dates for early morning mini conferences on raising spiritually healthy special needs kids. And we wouldn’t change a thing… We’ve traded Big Ten athletic events for seventh grade basketball tryouts. And we wouldn’t change a thing… We’ve traded philosophical discussions about politics and superpowers for…
‘Tis the Season!
Here it is again! It’s November! Time to pack up all the summer clothes, the picnic blankets, and turn the clocks back. I don’t know about you, but I often lament this time of year for one other BIG reason: hibernation. My little dude has junky lungs. His immune system is just not up to…

Will you Vote?
I don’t know about you, but I’m about sick of the emails, phone calls, and television ads telling me who to vote for. “Vote for Al—he’s better than Sandy!” “Don’t vote for Sandy, she has a history of not paying her taxes, and she eats small children for lunch!” However, as much as I want…
Mother’s Work is Never Done
I’m a single mom who has to work full-time outside the home. Normally I can balance everything enough to get by – children are fed, clothes are clean, house is passable, job assignments get done close to their due date – but sometimes, everything seems to fall apart. It can happen when multiple children get…
Special Exposure Wednesday
This is from our Spring Fair. We were watching the popular pig races. The punniest traveling show. I am always astonished at how many jokes can me made from pig-related words. It’s still one of my favorites. It’s my Blackberry background. She doesn’t feel the same way. She’ll run around wearing a ballet leotard, tiger…
