I was all ready to write a post about how great I have been feeling and how having diabetes has truly saved my life. That was until I woke up this morning. After days of going non-stop and two nights with very little sleep, I felt like I had run full tilt into a brick [...]

If I wasn’t already engaged, I’d totally marry this past weekend. Well if I wasn’t engaged and Wisconsin would recognize a marriage between a human and a weekend. This state is so backwards. To say that Matt, Ben and I have an active social calendar is a grave understatement. Every weekend this summer we have [...]

Every 4th of July, for the past 30 plus years, my family and I go to the same neighborhood parade and festival. Every year I do the cake walk in hopes of winning a glorious cake. Throughout the years I have most likely walked in this same circle on July 4th over 100 times. Every [...]

In hindsight the argument was petty and small. In hindsight, aren’t they always? But at the time, it was a huge deal. Such a big incident that the only way to tuck my nerve ends back in was to lace up my shoes and walk. It had been raining for days on end. When it [...]

If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time, I’m sure it’s no surprise that I’m a lover of Earth Day. I just think it’s a great yearly reminder for everyone to step back and look at what they are doing to help this HOME of ours. As with our bodies, it’s [...]

In 2008, because of my high blood pressure and extra weight, my doctor ordered a blood glucose test. The results came back that my levels were high; borderline. She told me to watch it. [...]

July 1981 Father and daughter rode their bikes down to the Memorial Union on a warm summer day. This wasn’t a new or special event as it was something they did on a fairly regular basis. They parked their bikes and went inside to get ice cream. Again, nothing new. Taking their ice cream over [...]

Many moons ago (13 years to be exact) when I was going through a massive nervous breakdown hard time, on Sunday nights I would write in my diary a list of the things I could look forward to in the upcoming week. No matter how big or small, it was something that kept me going. [...]

Recently, with being on Twitter 24/7 often, and being at Cupcake with all those cute new moms, I have been much more exposed to the Mother of Today than before and I have to tell you, I’m amazed. Actually, I’m in awe. Open mouthed gaping, jaw dropping awe. When Allison over Twitter asked, “Ok, mommas, do [...]

For the past few days I have been reading all my fellow Cupcaker’s blog posts about their experience from the weekend. I should have realized when you go to a BLOGGING convention you are going to be surrounded by talented writers but these posts knocked me off my enlarged-by-cupcakes butt. The truth is, I can’t stop thinking [...]
