Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Girls Weekend


We sat in the sun.
We walked and we talked.
We ate so many great little snacks there was no discussion of dinner.
It was dark before we even looked at our watches.
We laughed until we cried.
We talked of struggles, and love and children.
Of hopes and dreams.
We relaxed and grew closer.
No one cared what we were wearing, or who weighed what.

I drove home by myself and enjoyed the quiet.

I came back to the chaos, and loved that too.

Girlfriends.
Everyone needs a couple of great girlfriends.


Don't forget to enter my Giveaway! It ends Tuesday!
