Being a mom (or dad) means that you will occasionally or frequently lose sleep. Tell you something you don’t know, right? I’ve only been a mom for nearly three years, but I can already imagine how I still won’t sleep well once Lydia is a teen. I’ve also always been a lucky mom (so far)… Continue reading To Dream … When Mommies Don’t Get to Sleep Anymore …
I’m going to keep this post short … seriously. With so much “fun” going on this season, activities like baking cookies and wrapping presents, which should be fun, sometimes end up feeling like one more thing to do.

A Schoff woman knows that she will have to withstand some barbs from her loving, yet not always sensitive man. A Schoff woman will have to hear hunting stories, fishing stories, and stories about getting ready to hunt; time will be spent waiting for your husband to return from hunting, and sure enough there will… Continue reading On Being a Schoff Woman
I recently caught the end of the movie, Joy, on HBO … twice … two times, I saw the last hour… Finally I had some”Lydia is napping” time on my hands, so I decided that I needed to see it from the beginning, and currently it’s playing on demand through HBO.
