A Snowy Morning Story

becky | November 30, 2008

On a cold snowy Sunday morning, a mother got out of bed and was about to go brush her teeth when she heard the sleepy crackled voice of her young boy saying, “No Mommy.  Come snuggle with me.”   Even though her teeth were screaming to be brushed, Superman himself couldn’t have walked away from the sweet [...]

Giving Thanks

becky | November 27, 2008

On this Thanksgiving Day, 2008, I have many things to be thankful for: I’m thankful for my health. I’m thankful for my wonderful job.  Especially in these scary economic times. I’m thankful for baby carrots that aren’t slimy. I’m thankful for the health of my family.  I am thankful I can still make my kid [...]

One Too Many Monkeys In This Bed

becky | November 25, 2008

Benjamin Franklin once said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes”.  Except Dr. Franklin forgot one other constant of life.  That my son will end up in bed with me at some point during the night.   This little tradition started, oh, as soon as he was sprung from [...]

A few short hours ago, there was an elephant who took permanent residence on my face and [...]

A Birds and the Bees Close Call

becky | November 18, 2008

Ben: Mom? Me: Yeah honey? Ben: What is the body part that has a circle and then like a little tail coming off of it. My heart stops and my throat starts to close.  I knew this day would come but I didn’t really expect it on a Tuesday morning as I was getting ready [...]

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

becky | November 17, 2008

Change is a funny thing.  I used to be a firm believer that people didn’t really change.  We were who we were and that was that.   You played with the cards life dealt you.  That was until it was ME that wanted to change.  Until it was me that WAS changing.  Until a dear friend said “Maybe [...]
