“I mean it, I’m lucky to know ya.”   ~DMB Summer 2013 Anyway I am. Lucky to know ya. I say it a lot. I say a lot of things a lot. It’s who I am. Just ask Bri. But I can never say it enough. I have the best people in my life. The best. The very, very best. And to me, that’s all you need. People. If you have people that love you, people that care for you, people that want only the best for you. People that support you day in and day out. What else do you need? A roof over your head. Maybe some food and a little drink. But that’s all. Everything else fits in your heart. Life is hard. To quote my sil, “Being a person is hard.” You can bring your own sunshine. You can bring your own happiness.  But sometimes there is pain and sometimes there is loss. Pain that we don’t often know about. Loss that we may or may not see coming. Pain that we might not feel ourselves. But it’s there. It’s there for some more than others and it’s the hardest part of life. Life...

Post Valenniversary weekend. Meh. So much fun!!  But I did not run my heart out per say...until today. Normally I would have been running my heart out Saturday with DFMC but I traded it for some much needed B, C & E time. But I missed my team!! And this face! I love this face. And his mom's face. So. 16 miles attempted on the tready today... After having way too much of a good time for myself on Friday (Capital Grill) & Saturday breakfast fun at home with this crew... Look at the wine... Much Love from C. Breakfast club Saturday- Sunday Road Trip to Seabrook/Rye and one really long, semi stressful drive home in white out blizzard conditions I was done.  So much fun with my B. But so done. And when you're done before your start it's never any good. It can't be.  So while I did one million miles of things. It wasn't a consistent 16 mile run on the tready which I set out to do. And I set out to do things. An...

I spend most of my time with little people. Being responsible for shaping little lives is huge. HUGE. Sometimes I have no words. I have 2 of my own and 24 that are not my own, but I spend so much time with them that they are pretty much my own too. Make no mistake, it is no joke. But I wouldn't have it any other way.  Being a mom of 2 little ones is the most amazing thing I will ever do. I am so lucky. But this post is for my Beans, my only girl who shines so bright. She's at the age where she's asking so many questions and she's taking it all in. This thing called life. I can see the reflection in her big brown eyes. And I can see the wheels turning. And it always makes me smile. She has so much personality in one little person that has only been in our lives for 6 really fast years. As a mom, you always pray that you are doing the right thing. Making the right choices. Being a good role model. Saying the right things. Answering all the questions. So MANY questions. A...
