Counting Down to 40 – Being an Advocate

by sarahon March 19, 2014Leave a Comment on Counting Down to 40 – Being an Advocate

As part of my Counting Down to 40 series I will be writing about things about myself of which I am most proud. The first in the series is the importance of being an advocate. When Jack was born I expected to become a mom and have the mother bear instincts kick in, but I …

Counting Down to 40

by sarahon February 11, 2014Leave a Comment on Counting Down to 40

I turn 40 in October this year. I have been thinking about how I want to countdown to this milestone. Many people create lists of things they want to accomplish in the year leading up to their 40th birthday. I haven’t felt comfortable about making a list like this for a number of reasons. Most …

On My Own (Well Almost)

by sarahon August 26, 2013Leave a Comment on On My Own (Well Almost)

This past weekend Jim and the boys went to Daddy Camp, a camping weekend of just dads and kids. I was on my own at home. Well, technically I was on puppy duty. Last year Will didn’t go, so this was my first year all alone. Sort of. I realized that Friday night was the …

The art of saying something wrong

by sarahon April 13, 2011Leave a Comment on The art of saying something wrong

Learning to talk is one of those really fun milestones. You never know what exactly they are going to say and how it is going to sound. A few are really embarrassing and others you never want them to grow out of. We all have words that are hard to say or we just flat …

Two Fingers

by sarahon April 5, 2011Leave a Comment on Two Fingers

Will turned two on our Hawaii trip. It felt like a bit of an afterthought because we didn’t even have him blow out a candle that day. (I know I am a bad mom.) I am pretty sure he didn’t notice. Needless to say we didn’t bring presents over with us, we had enough luggage. …

Bottle free

Our house is officially bottle free, well baby bottles that is. About a month ago I weaned Will off his bedtime bottle, the only one that was remaining. I wanted to wait to write this post until I was sure that we were going to keep moving forward and not back (yes I am a …

Photo Friday – Training wheels are off Jack has been working very hard for the last couple weeks on riding his bike without training wheels. He has successfully mastered it, including riding up and down the curbs and through the grass. Great job Jack!

One year older

by sarahon September 23, 2010Leave a Comment on One year older

What a difference a year makes. I realized today how much Jack has grown up in the last year. He has always been a talker with a large vocabulary, so sometimes I forget he is only 5. Last year Jack and I worked on some Halloween crafts. They were ones from the crafts store, foam …

The school bell rings

by sarahon September 1, 2010Leave a Comment on The school bell rings

There is a Kindergartner in our house. (Am I really old enough to have a school age child?) Jack starts school on Thursday. He is in half day/afternoon and gets to ride the bus (which I think he is the most excited for.) There are 5 Kindergarten boys coming from our neighborhood/bus stop (Lord help …

Will does tricks

by sarahon July 9, 2010Leave a Comment on Will does tricks

Will is learning to talk. Instead of starting with the normal first words, his favorites are juice, shoes, tractor and more. Any vehicle with wheels is a tractor. Juice and shoes  sometimes sound the same. More is on of the cutest because he rolls his lip out before he says it, but on the video …
