Navigating life as a pilot's wife and misadventurous mom.
Tweet I’ll never be SuperMom, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try and have it all. If there’s anything that turning 40 and watching your 39-year-old husband battle cancer teaches you, it’s that thinking you’ll always have later to live the life you really want is foolhardiness. Later is NOW and I’d rather not be [...]
Tweet While I’m sure no one really noticed, *ahem* it has been over TWO MONTHS since my last post! Ack! Hellooooo… anybody out there? You’ve all gone on to more important things than checking in to see if I’ve come back from the dead, I know. After my first successful year of regular (okay, somewhat [...]
Tweet A Mother’s Day tribute to an extraordinary Mom. This Mother’s Day, just like last, I want to recognize a Mom in my life who inspires me to be a better Mom. There are so many ordinary women doing extraordinary things in ways that often go unacknowledged as mothers. We laud the accomplishments of women [...]
Tweet I’ve only been working outside the home for three weeks and I’m already wondering how other working moms do it?! For the past six months, I’ve been working from home part-time while my husband waits to be allowed to return to work at Frontier Airlines after his bout with cancer. My work has been [...]
Tweet I never thought it would happen this early. But, I’m already suffering second-hand rejection issues on the part of my little girl’s heart. We all know there will come a day when our child is pushed out of a game of hopscotch or whispered about in the classroom. As we all were. And we’re [...]
Tweet Well, not exactly, but just knowing I have that option, if I really, really wanted to is just INSANE! For the first time in two-and-a-half years, I am flying solo, baby! And, for FIVE whole days! There was a time when I didn’t think I could handle being separated from my munchkin. But, yesterday [...]
Tweet Whatever the question, the answer is “NO!” Like most two-year-old’s, Princess Reagan has come with the 1985 mantra “Just say, no” already built in. A war of wills has been building for some time, and I have been desperately trying to stay on top. Up until a week or so ago, I chose to [...]
Tweet I’ve been toying with writing this post for days now. Not sure if I was comfortable exposing myself to the judgment that this topic brings with it. Fear of judgment seems to be a common theme in motherhood (see prior post here) and one that I’ve found myself embracing more and more since beginning [...]
Tweet Drifting. For the past year and a half. Life definitely has a course of its’ own and we have no control of the rudder. What is the lesson here? Still trying to figure that out. For every lighthouse in the distance, a new reef has emerged. Truth? After two months of working from home, [...]
