Eight years ago, I became an auntie for the first time. Carter Everett Kolman was born and became the love of my life even before he took his first breath.  At 20 weeks along, my sister and brother-in-law found out that Carter had a very serious heart defect along with a couple other complications. In […]

If your house has been nailed by a bug, you’re definitely not alone. My sister just sent me a picture of four medicine bottles all lined up. Each of them was an antibiotic for a different member of the family. Four out of the five of them are on medicine, for pneumonia, for a double […]

Let’s take a second to bow our heads to 2016, shall we? I beg you not to think about all the celebrities we lost or the politics that blew your mind, good or bad. Let’s not focus on notions of hate and madness.  I encourage you to do one simple thing.  Go back on your […]

We always expect this time of year to be busy, but WHOA! Slow down, Santa! But you just smile and keep on trudging through it because it’s your life, and you wouldn’t change it. On Saturday, we had Everett’s birthday party with a couple dozen of his favorite friends bowling at Ten Pin Alley, then […]

I just finished up the last bit of leftover squash soup with turkey sausage. I made it as an appetizer on Thanksgiving and it is so delicious, I have to share it, so click here. The first time I made it all in the pot like the recipe says, but since I think baked squash […]

My little buddy will be two next month. Can you believe it? Roman’s birthday is August 27th. We’ll be having his party a couple weeks before that, and we’ve decided to go with the “Old McDonald” theme. This kid could sing ‘E-I-E-I-O’ all day long (and sometimes does). It’ll just be a small family-and-friends party, and I just can’t wait to celebrate him. He’s […]

Argue with me if you want, but Thanksgiving is the best holiday of all! It’s the food, the parade, the traditions, the family and friends–WITHOUT all the insanity that gift-giving provokes. We’re hosting the big feast this year. Count along with me will you? My mom, dad, grandma, Marc’s mom, my sister, her husband and […]

How much fun was Halloween?!  Bear with me here if this was your millionth Halloween with your kids and you’re so over it. This was a first for me.  Both kids, ages 4 and 2, were dressed up in their costumes. There was no fight to get Everett in his Martin Kratt costume nor Roman into […]

Getting up at 3:30AM is my new ‘normal’ as I fill-in on the Magic 98 Morning Show. Usually my two year-old, Roman, gets up once at night. I go get him, we snuggle into the recliner for a couple hours, and then my alarm clock goes off. I try to tap my phone to send […]

Honestly, it just doesn’t get any better than this. It looks like her first name will be Evelyn, after my 95-year-old grandma, but there’s no word on her middle name yet. I can tell you that she’s a healthy, happy, little (well, at 9 pounds, 6 ounces so not so little) sweet girl. She has […]
