Today I’m Nine

August 8, 2022August 4, 2022 Posted in Motherhood, Reflections1 Comment

Jake from Moon Lake hijacking mom’s blog once again. I’ve successfully navigated another trip around the sun. This past year was packed with a lot of adventures, but what else would you expect? My third grade teacher Miss Janigo rocked the house. She kept me in-line and will always be known as the teacher who…… Continue reading Today I’m Nine

Hurry Up and Wait

June 9, 2022June 9, 2022 Posted in Motherhood2 Comments

My summer in a nutshell. My kid is in his first season of kid pitch baseball. I love sports. I love Jake. But wowza, this sport is painfully slow. If you’ve ever been to a game, then you know what I’m talking about. That said, getting Jake to the games is comparable to Usain Bolt’s…… Continue reading Hurry Up and Wait

Ode to Motherhood

May 8, 2022May 8, 2022 Posted in Grief, Motherhood, Writing Journey2 Comments

I somehow did it. My very first and very rough draft is complete. When I think about loss, losing my mom ranks high. Becoming a mom triggered a whole slew of loss, lessons and love for the woman who made me. I’ve spent years writing about it. This Mother’s Day is no exception. For those…… Continue reading Ode to Motherhood

Hello World. I’m eight!

August 7, 2021August 4, 2021 Posted in Motherhood, ReflectionsLeave a comment

Just another day on Moon Lake. Jake here hijacking mom’s blog. This might be one of the last times I do this since I’m now getting old enough where I have an opinion about mom sharing every aspect of my life… But, that’s a battle for mom to fight next year. In the meantime, this…… Continue reading Hello World. I’m eight!

Thriving Thirties Crisis Anyone?

March 15, 2017October 28, 2022 Posted in Motherhood, Reflections2 Comments

Another trip around the sun means I’m one step closer to the inevitable mid-life crisis that happens at 40. Or, at least that’s what I’ve been told. What baffles me, though, is nobody talks about the time between your quarter-life crisis and your mid-life crisis. That in-between time where so much happens your head spins.…… Continue reading Thriving Thirties Crisis Anyone?

The Waiting Game

November 23, 2016November 23, 2016 Posted in MotherhoodLeave a comment

My son is potty training. I know every family’s experience is different. But, I think most parents can relate about the angst that comes the first time your son informs you he wants to wear big boy underwear. Jake decided to hit this milestone this week. That is – the wearing underwear. We’re still working…… Continue reading The Waiting Game

Running just as fast as I can…

October 21, 2016October 21, 2016 Posted in Motherhood, RunningLeave a comment

Sometimes I find I enjoy writing racing recaps more than the race itself. But, these past few weeks are the exception to the rule. Eleven weeks ago, I began a journey to train for a 10k. I felt it’d be challenging enough, but much more realistic than attempting a half this fall. Surprisingly, it turns…… Continue reading Running just as fast as I can…

It has been another year of whirlwind adventure. Since writing last, I’ve taken up a new hobby. Talking. A…… Continue reading Wild, Free and Three!

Early Morning Resolution

January 15, 2016January 15, 2016 Posted in Motherhood, ReflectionsLeave a comment

Happy New Year! How are those resolutions treating you? I’d just like to go on record right now saying mine are slowly killing my will to live. Fourteen days ago, I started on a quest to factor me-time into everyday of my life to focus on wellness. My solution—wake up by 5:30 am everyday so…… Continue reading Early Morning Resolution

I Dig Being Two!

August 6, 2015August 6, 2015 Posted in Motherhood, ReflectionsLeave a comment

I’m hijacking mom’s blog again in anticipation of my second birthday coming up on Saturday. Things have changed a ton since I last wrote. First, I’m communicating. My vocabulary includes a lot of body parts, food groups and demands. I’ve mastered the words mine, poo and no. And, while I still don’t get it, I…… Continue reading I Dig Being Two!
