Happy 5th Birthday to Michaismom.com

5 years ago today, I planned to stay home and do some self care before picking Michai up at my mom’s. *Read the post from 12.25.2019* That was interrupted by being called into work which I agreed to because my car payment was due, my dad had car trouble and didn’t follow instructions regarding transporting… Continue reading Happy 5th Birthday to Michaismom.com

A lot has happened in the past 24° related to football and I wasn’t going to say anything after Friday night, yet yesterday’s games took things over the edge! Friday night was Mount Tabor’s Homecoming and it was nice to see classes as early as ‘89 come to the game. What wasn’t nice is the… Continue reading Couch Coaching

What A Time To Be Alive…Part 4

What A Time To Be Alive…Part 3

After learning I was pregnant the same night I graduated from undergrad in 2003, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to work 12-hour shifts as a nurse since that meant I was either going to miss my baby waking up or putting them to bed and I didn’t want to miss either.

What A Time To Be Alive…Part 2 (although posted first 😉)

Added to the fact, it’s been 90 days since I’ve shared with y’all 😳🫢. We not only celebrated 100 Episodes of Our Kijiji with… Continue reading What A Time To Be Alive…Part 2 (although posted first 😉)

Developmental Milestones Continue…

…to be reached by Michai (AND ME 😩)! The CDC’s list stops at 5 years. We need a list to help us get through these teenage years!!! As I talk to people, parents and those who aren’t parents, about things Michai says and does, a couple of things I constantly hear are, “He’ll learn” and… Continue reading Developmental Milestones Continue…
