I am a living testament to the fact that God really does answer our prayers–even ones from a mom who was feeling like she was losing her mind because she couldn’t get her life and brain (mostly her brain) organized.  I know that because I’m that woman.  Some background: When I started this blog almostContinue reading “Do You Get ADD At The Age of 42???”

I’ve been talking with some moms lately about navigating the stormy waters of parenting and I’ve decided that the number one rule that allows us to be (somewhat) successful is this:  Choose Your Battles.  Really–that’s like the golden rule of parenting.  Have you ever seen those parents where EVERYTHING is a big deal–so consequently nothingContinue reading “Choosing Your Battles”

For those of you following along on this wacky life journey of mine you know that it’s pretty obvious that here at the Morgan house we are a long way from perfect.  We also might be, just a tiny bit, a little nutso.  Here are just a few glimpses into our life this last week:Continue reading “We've Got Problems”

Recently I had the great misfortune of being struck by the flu–or something similar.  Since my health insurance is incredibly lacking (and incredibly expensive) I guess I’ll never know for sure.  But regardless I have literally spent the last 48 hours in bed.  As I laid there alternating between the chills and hot flashes, IContinue reading “Laid Up”

My Facebook feed (like everyone else’s) was filled this past week with those “First Day of School” pictures.  They look pretty similar to this one of my two youngest: Parker (8th Grade) and Kennedy (6th Grade) I would have taken one of my other two except I totally forgot–poor middle children. (Which I guess isContinue reading “Back to School Musings”

It is a testament to my nutso life that it’s been over a month since I’ve written a post.  (I know,  I know, you’ve been waiting with baited breath for my wise words…)  Life has been busy at the Morgan house with school getting out, vacations, camps, new callings, work and life in general.  ButContinue reading “"What They Don't Tell You When You Decide To Be A Mom"”

I was talking with a friend the other night and we were lamenting all of the pressure that comes from those FB posts celebrating achievements.  We all do it right?  “Hey look at me, I’m on a cruise!”  “My kid is awesome–he’s a 4.0 student!”  It’s like those dang Christmas letters–but we get them EVERYContinue reading “Mediocrity–let's celebrate!”

I have been thinking a lot about happiness lately.  What makes us happy and how do we define happiness?  (I’m thinking real happiness not Baja Fresh induced coma happiness.)  In reflecting on this I’ve realized that in the last year or so I think I’ve misunderstood what happiness is.  As moms a lot of ourContinue reading “Happiness–it's a state of mind”

When you last saw me I was whining (like usual) about my inability to stay on track and get things accomplished.  After all, this is one of the main reasons I started blogging almost a year (a year!) ago.  And then a small miracle occurred this week.  You see most days I feel like oneContinue reading “Dare I say this just might be working?”
