Life without coffee, in a word, has been exhausting. One week ago, our coffee pot stopped working. I stared at it in disbelief. Are you kidding me? Without coffee, how would I survive? My days and NIGHTS are long with Babycakes – I NEED COFFEE. Desperately, I phoned Cuisinart. Cuisinart: Thank you for calling Cuisinart. [...]

I would say that I finally “found” some time to be crafty, but you all know very well that when you’re a mom, “extra” time doesn’t exist. It means that somewhere there’s a pile of laundry & dishes in the sink. It was worth it to feel like a little kid and get messy with [...]

While visiting Carolyn Allen’s new & improved The Coach’s Wife website, I came across her blog post about the ups & downs of living & coaching in a small town.

Last year, upon returning from the Football Coaches’ Convention in San Antonio, Coach handed me a book. It was a cute little book full of stories & recipes called “Married to the Game”. “It’s from Coach B’s wife…” Wife? What was a wife doing at Convention? “Because wives can come, too.” I had been kept in [...]
