God. In my own quirky way. I trust that one of the things you love about me is my logical mind. Otherwise I’m sure you would not have given it to me. We definitely have a personal relationship—you read my mind well.
My wonderful husband. He is my best friend, my confidant, and the [...]

Often we doubt how we might be doing as a parent. I find myself, that I use trial and error on many of the events that come my way. The boys tend to throw me curve balls, and I often feel like I strike out. There’s definitely not an adequate playbook out there.
Because of all [...]

I’ve since also reworked the chin area…making the drawing’s chin slightly less “long”…I’ll post the rework later.

Wow! It’s certainly been a while since I was on here actively posting. My life has been busy with kids and work, and tutoring at the Elementary nearby. I needed a “break” from blogging, so I took it. I’m looking forward to posting more here.
Some things that have happened during my break?

Bert recently received a Nintendo DS lite for his 5th birthday. At first I was really hesitant because he’s 5, and that’s an expensive toy. I tried to convince my husband that it was a bad idea. Bert got a taste of the Nintendo DS at our workout facility. It seems that all the boys [...]

I often find it funny that as you meet other friends of little kids, especially toddlers in their first and second year, that you are inevitably going to meet one of those people who continuously have to measure how their kid is doing compared to your child.
Often, the conversation starts something like:
You: Hey, guess [...]

Sometimes with my kids I jump from nagger to yeller so quickly, that asking nicely falls through the cracks. Most of this most likely stems from being the main disciplinarian of our kids and also feeling like a single parent much of the time. My husband is wonderful when he is home, but he does [...]

It’s been a while since I mentioned fitness here. That’s not because I quit working out (I don’t think I could ever do that!). I am officially at a maintenance level in my diet and exercise. I still go at least 5 days a week. I have been replacing one day each week with tennis. [...]

I apologize for being somewhat absent for the past 2 weeks. Everything in my house has gotten dirty during this time too. I have been working online on my new tutoring business like crazy. I am getting to the point where I should be able to section off my days again and work a little [...]

There are two bands that I buy albums for—no listen required. I have no doubt that when they finish their material and release it to the world that is will be to my liking.
One of these bands is releasing their sophomore album on July 14th.
I will buy it.
Isn’t he absolutely gorgeous?

I have to admit that as a stay at home mom, I don’t get out of the house much. I have struggled with wondering if I spend too much time on the internet, but I have decided that it is part of my social connection with the real world, and as long as it doesn’t [...]
