Can’t you just hear my father’s voice asking that question? I admit, I’ve been a little MIA this week. I wish I could say that we had jetted off to some exotic destination before football season or that I had finally invented something that made me an instant millionaire… but alas, it’s just Babycakes teething again. I [...]

Remember Little E? Babycakes was baptized yesterday and in honor of the day, our family came from near and far to celebrate. My parents, sister, brother, & my niece, Little E made the 9 hour trip sardined together in my Dad’s car. Luckily, his car is pretty big. When was the last time you saw [...]

It’s been asked of me, “What’s it like being a coach’s wife?” It’s not THAT bad. In fact, it’s kind of fun. How many women can say that their husband’s job entertains (& stresses) them 11 Saturdays a year? I feel like I’m the new breed of “Coach’s Wife” — I’m young, a new mother, [...]

I am always trying to multi-task — who isn’t? As a kid, I would brush my teeth & try to clean my ears at the same time. I don’t recommend it unless you’re the kind of person who can rub their tummy and pat their head. If you’re less talented like me, you’ll end up [...]

This, my friends, is the project room. See how uninspiring this space is? If you’re a big fan of beige, you might think it’s relaxing. If you prefer color, polka dots, & texture then you’re with me — time for some change. We were/are trying to sell the house, but it looks like we’re staying. [...]

Let the countdown begin… only 20 days until football season. *cringe* If you’re a coach’s wife, you know what that means… It means… you won’t see your husband for three months having to mow the lawn yourself eating dinner alone OR serving it just before bedtime visiting the practice field so that your kids remember [...]

The other day I called Coach at work because I couldn’t find the laundry soap anywhere. He had been washing clothes and towels the evening before — was it possible that he had used all the soap? “Honey, do you know where the laundry soap is?” “I don’t. I just used that stuff that’s on [...]

I’ve been a little distracted lately and this is why… See how sweet she is? There’s just one little “problem” that we have right now. She’s obsessed. She’s especially obsessed with me — particularly at 1 & 4 in the morning. And in the car, at the library, shopping, playing on the floor — we [...]

Why didn’t someone warn me? Give me a heads up? Anything? Vacationing with a baby is HARD WORK! Last Saturday, with the Mommy-mobile packed & ready-to-go we set off for Hilton Head Island. Along the way, we stopped briefly to begin our caravan with Coach’s brother and his family. About midway, my BIL phoned to [...]

Want to know what heaven will be like? Try 5 am on the Pacific Ocean in THIS house. Yes, it’s a house. Not our house, but we did get to stay there thanks to a generous football alum who asked us what our honeymoon plans were. Thank goodness we had nothing planned when he offered us his Mexican Villa. Every [...]
