I can’t thank each of you that submitted a *Mom-story* enough! I’ve truly enjoyed this month tremendously… the little life lessons we’ve learned from each other has been wonderful! So, let me again thank you individually so in case someone missed it, they can get caught up now!

This *Mom-story* is submitted by Vonnie, a long-time blog reader and commenter - who does not have a blog of her own (yet!). Please feel free to leave her lots of *bloglove* in the comments section here for her to come read. I, for one, know how hard this was for her [...]

There are some people in this world that you meet and connect with immediately. The writer of this *Mom-story* is one of those people for me. I first started reading at The Dad’s blog in the summer of 2006 when I was a serious blog-lurker (not a commenter at ALL!) One day, a few weeks [...]

The following *Mom-story* is from another dear friend, Stacy. I definitely recommend you grab a tissue…seriously. I can’t tell you how proud I am of her for writing such a wonderful and powerful tribute. Stacy is one of the very first people that said she would submit a story for this month - so I [...]

Last November, the first time I ever participated in National Blog Post Month, I met Michelle of Bleeding Espresso. I think we both had pictures of our dogs posted around the same time and so, we readily knew we had things in common. We’ve been trading comments ever since. She is a wonderful woman and [...]

Last night as I stood at the sink and tossed back some water and a couple of Extra Strength Tylenol, I had a momentary flashback of my mother that made me smile.
I remember sitting at the dining table for what felt all darn day when I was about 10 years old (probably around the time [...]

Happy Monday folks! This morning I realized that I had NOT forewarned our guest blogger that today is the day her post comes up in the queue ….. so …
SURPRISE MEG!!
You might notice I am well on my way to getting *Lucky Dorito* a little more to my liking…. I spent lots of the weekend [...]

Snippets of random conversations:
“How does this look?”
“Hey! You look like a lima bean!”
“Oh great, thanks.”
“Well, it’s better than looking like a turd!”
“True. Good point.” Yeah… there is a reason she said that. You’d never believe me if I toldcha though.

Five minutes later….
“Honey, how does this look? Luby said I looked like a [...]

Another guest adorns my blog today with her *Mom-story*: My sweet friend Guinie. She is one of my favorite people and another online scrabble partner. We have lots in common, especially our similarities in the “forgetful” department. (Sorry, Guinie… let your secret outta the bag!) She is fun and witty and someone I am proud [...]

Remember those great Mt. Dew commercials a few years ago? The ones that were wild adventures and extreme sports, prompting the Average Joe to “Do the Dew!“? It was a great ad campaign and I actually loved it. I must confess here and say I used to be a Mt. Dewaholic. My husband used [...]
