Being a working mom is a lot of work. Figuring out how to be a good mother, wife and employee is an overwhelming challenge. Since this is clearly turning into more of a ‘mom blog’ I thought I’d start formally asking my mom friends to share their thoughts, tips and tricks on handling this complex … More Mommas Who Work It: Lindsay
I’m currently reading a novel about Thomas Jefferson’s daughter and I have many thoughts. One thing that stands out is the fierce partisan rhetoric, libelous and petty attacks on character and talk of unprecedented divisiveness/taking up arms in protest. It seems that every presidential election cycle we have the same debates, disappointments and in January the country … More Happy Friday
We’ve been in our house for just over a month and I love it just as much as I did when B sent the Zillow listing. From the moment I stepped through the door it felt like home and now that I’ve painted the door ‘Lovebird pink’ I’ve appropriately marked my territory. After we got … More Home, Sweet Home
Mother Teresa becomes a saint this weekend. It’s crazy to think I lived on the planet at the same time as a saint. Inspired, I decided to read Mother Teresa – Her Essential Wisdom. I’m ashamed it took me this long, it was a gift from Danny’s parents when I was confirmed years ago. I … More Mothers & Saints
Happy half birthday to my little big man. I’m so grateful for every second I get with Lucas. His ‘official portrait was a last minute photo-shoot but it was too cute to pass up. Alternative shot on Instagram. He’s definitely transitioning from infant to baby (I will not say toddler). He’s curious about everything and … More Lucas 6 Months
I saw the Slow Roll the other day from my car and snapped a picture. It reminds me that summer is at an end. The loss of time saddens me more than the loss of a season. I love the fall but am feeling a bit overwhelmed these days and the thought of the holiday season doesn’t help … More Currently
No, I haven’t forgotten about the blog. Life has simply been so busy that I have a hard time balancing it all (another blog post). So here a few weekend highlights (aka evidence of the activity): Friday: We celebrated Granny’s 71st birthday with a family dinner after work. Saturday: We traveled across the state to … More Weekend Update
It’s been a week and if you follow me on Instagram you’ve seen my frustration with daycare. Although they are not necessarily on my favorite people list, they did garner some goodwill when I opened Lucas’ folder and found this adorable picture. I have no idea who the other babies are but there’s no mistaking … More Happy Friday
Two toes up for two teeth! It appears our boy is double jointed in his toes because he can hold them up like thumbs and it cracks people up. He also has two little (although strong) front bottom teeth. We don’t know if it’s the teething, daycare or mystery reason but he had his first … More Lucas Month 5
I started my day by hugging a Detroit police officer. It’s too easy to forget the good. The great thing about my job is that I get to see the good more often than most. Today a multinational corporation brought volunteers to board-up abandoned houses in southwest Detroit. As one of the company’s group was … More Happy Friday
