Because Blogging Looks Like Typing and Typing Looks A Lot Like Work

http://mominthelastfrontier.blogspot.com

I'm doing my best to kill the last 15 minutes of my work day by looking very, very busy.... In fact, I do have a project that I could be working on but I'm feeling lazy and it sounds annoying and like I said, only 15 minutes left in my work day...

So I thought I'd update you guys on the whole "hair down there" situation.... Because…

Why me???

Can someone please tell me why, oh why people like to cause drama.

Here is the scenario (short version by the way)

My parents have been divorced for almost 20 years. My dad has been dating the same woman (I assume they are engaged or may be married, but won't tell us) we'll call her "D" for 18 of those last 20 years.

D is not a fan of mine, she never really was and never really will be. I have made some huge mistakes in my life and some I have made many of times, over… Continue

24 hours..not enough

Do you ever fee like 24 hours is just not enough? stupid question I know, but today was just one of those days. I feel like no matter how early I wake up in the mornings, it just doesn't matter because I always feel like I'm rushing!

I wake up between 6:00a-6:30ish everyday, I take a shower and I start my coffee ( I can't do anything else until I have my coffee) I start making breakfast ( my hubby has to be at work by 7:30a), so I make breakfast so that he can have it…

Food Fun!

In my house, when the kids eat all their dinner, including their veggies, they get a dessert as a reward. Some nights it’s ice cream, some nights it’s jello, and other nights, I am left without new and fun options. It’s often easy to get into a food rut where you are serving the same meals over and over. While it’s still tasty, it can also be boring, and if there is no excitement at the dinner table, it’s…

The Insomniac's Guide To Possibly Sleeping Again

You look at the clock on your bedside table... its 11:05. You toss and turn. Your pillow is too hot so you flip it over. Your blankets are irritating you tonight and there's a small lump in the mattress that has never bothered you until now....

Ignorance and self control

I was in Walmart about a year ago with all four of my children. We had finished our shopping and were now waiting at checkout. My youngest was having a really hard time and was stimming, this is a repetitive behavior that he does to calm himself down.… Continue

Something I Have to Forgive Myself For

I think of all the things I need to forgive myself for, and there are many, so I will start my list and see where it goes. To start I think I need to forgive myself for allowing my past to dictate my future. While this may seem confusing, it is something that I have accomplished now. Back a few years, I was falling into the same situation over and over and over again. I mean I think my son is repetitive, maybe he got it from me. LOL.. No, really, I didn't know what love was and so I kept…

My Rights as a Mom

Rights are found everywhere; human rights, civil rights, animal rights, child rights, patient rights, criminal rights... but what about Mommy Rights? I actually googled 'Mom rights' before starting this article (see, I do research for my blog), and the… Continue

A Little Holiday Magic

The saddest part of this season is that it just doesn't seem like there is enough time to celebrate it! However, amidst all of the shopping, gift wrapping, parties, and holiday preparation, be sure you

set aside some time for some real holiday magic.

Dave and I ran into some unplanned holiday magic the other night, when we went out to eat at the Riverwoods. On our way to the restaurant, we

found this cute little shop, called Blickenstaff's. It was adorable -…

Yes, honey. And nothing more.

We all have them. Those bad days where we need someone (namely our spouse) to cut us a little slack. Mine happened a few weeks ago, on a

day I wasn't feeling particularly well. I had a bad headache, I was

stressed out by all of the places we…

It's a Tradition for Us

Every year for as long as I can remember in our relationship- my husband's grandmother always sent us haystacks as our little taste of home each year for Christmas. She would take the Chinese noodles & mix them in melted chocolate and let them harden into a yummy little treat.…

Proud Mommy Moment

I'm so happy, proud, ecstatic, and amazed today. After 6 years,

countless attempts (and failures), guilt trips, crying fits, etc, BG1

has FINALLY slept through the night in her own bed in her own room! Now that is a milestone!

I know what you're thinking, she's 6! She should have been sleeping on

her own, but in my family we've always been quite lenient on that part

of the parenting field. Why even my little brother slept with my mom

until he was 8… Continue

Lessons I've Learned

“Courage allows the successful woman to fail-

and learn powerful lessons-

from the failure-

so that in the end,

she didn’t fail at all.”

The amazing Maya Angelou.

When we become parents, we are not provided with an instruction manual. We are not given a step by step agenda of how to properly…

Totally Random!

I've always thought those two memes kind of go hand in hand right? Post

it notes can be totally random. Today I have to sew the fleece liners

for the diapers I will be mailing out tomorrow to my diaper tester

winners. Will this bring more people to my shop to buy things...I doubt

it, but I'm still doing it. I at least think I can make some pretty rad

diapers for family and friends though huh?
