The T-Ball Experience
When I signed Jordan up for t-ball, I thought she’d like it… but just a little. She’s had to attend so many games for her brother, it just seemed right for her to have a chance to play herself. So I signed her up. She wasn’t that impressed during practice but ever since her first…

I’m nine years into this mom thing… And I still can’t say I’m a pro at this, but I am honored to be the mom of these two kids. This past week has been an example of just how crazy I allow my world to get because I’m a mom. Jordan and Cameron had baseball…

In my quest to take more time to think about all kinds of ways I can help the kids learn about diversity, I made a point of taking the kids to a couple of events in town this past week. Last Friday, Cameron’s (and soon to be Jordan’s) school held an International Day. Each year…

I wasn’t even a mom yet when September 11th happened, but I reacted like a parent. I was crushed to see our nation change. Our comfort and ease of our lifestyle ended that day. Sure, we’re still incredibly safe. But travel and concerns changed. I was hard at work in a newsroom that day ten…

We had such a busy weekend. Saturday was our super fun family meetup and Sunday was our town’s Earth Day event. Its a chance to see how our town is helping save the earth and enjoy all kinds of entertainment. It’s also an excuse to enjoy music and dancing and romp around a park and…
Read More +Family meetup!
We had a great meetup yesterday at the Magic House just outside of St. Louis. We had a small but super fun group of families to play and get to know each other. The Magic House was crowded but we were able to have all kinds of fun. I can’t say enough about how powerful…
Read More +Beauty. How far should you go?
When I was a teen, I struggled with feeling good about myself and my body. It’s crazy to think about that now since I had everything going for me. I didn’t fit the über skinny expectations for anything like a modeling career, but I really didn’t have a thing to worry about. That’s why the…

I had to pull out the camera yesterday… It was warm and breezy and the flowers are out on the trees and the kids were getting along. Jordan’s arm is getting a rash, but that didn’t stop her from climbing our favorite climbing tree and having fun outside. Enjoy the pictures!
