Motherhood: A Day in the Life #7 – Jacqueline
It has taken me quite a while to realize that I am living the dream. Really! So many people are reading books and blogs about downsizing and living simpler and our family made that leap 10 years ago, before it was fashionable. We are trendsetters, risk takers or just plain crazy – you can decide for yourself. 10 years ago we took the risk of moving, sight unseen, to a little town in the Ozarks from … Read entire article »

Motherhood: A Day in the Life #6 – Julie
T minus months to parental retirement My alarm starts going off at 6:20AM. I really should get up then. If I did, my morning would be less hectic. But I never do. I don’t have parenting duties in the morning like I used to have. My son is capable of getting up and getting out of the house on his own. Still, I usually make sure he’s out of bed by 7:05. Sometimes he’s glad because he’s … Read entire article »

Motherhood: A Day in the Life #4 – Shannon
When Fawn first put out the Bat signal for “A Day in the Life” guest posts, I first thought about writing it from my 11-year-old daughter’s perspective. She imagines I drop her off to school and then hurry back to my cozy kitchen – where the computer lives – and hang out all day, emptying the fridge of its contents and reading my blawgs (the modern day mom’s Days of Our Lives) until it’s time to pick … Read entire article »

Motherhood: A Day in the Life #3 – Stephanie B
A Day in My Life: Learning to Savor the Moments I get to be a stay-at-home, homeschool mom. While some days are… let’s say, challenging (definition: wreak havoc on my entire being), most days I am able to stop and savor the moments with our two boys. The time is flying by, people always told me it would but during colic and wiping noses and bottoms, I did not believe them. But, now I know it’s … Read entire article »

Motherhood: A Day in the Life #2 – Stephanie M
Working mom, toddler mom, blogging mom You know that moment when you become aware that you are awake and you can tell its light outside, but you haven’t yet opened your eyes? That moment that’s peaceful for about one fifteenth of second until you panic and think, “Oh no! Have I overslept.” I hate that moment because it is immediately followed with all kinds of internal negotiations about exactly what time I need to get out of … Read entire article »
