Let's get something straight on miscarriages and infertility issues. I have had neither. I am sure if it was up to me I would have a million babies. If pregnancy wasn't filled with endless morning sickness I might be up to the task. I don't mean to say this to boast. I say this to show that I do not know what it is like to have a miscarriage or have infertility. So, why am I writing? Because, I have seen my friends deal with this? It is hard to watch and I am never quite sure how to respond.

(this letter was written to and responded to by another writer and due to copy write laws I can not re-post =( but this is addressing to a couple emails I have received personally. Emails that ask what I do with my time and them casting judgment on me personally for complaining to much on my blog. I am sorry if I complain but.......You are seeing the true side of motherhood here and I assure you I am not complaining about being a mother. I am tired but love my boys. I do not sit around all day drinking tea and eating bon bons. Being a Mom is hard work.)

There were smiles on faces of Middle Township Board of Education members Thursday, Nov. 20 as Dr. Theresa DeFranco proclaimed, “We are no longer a district in need of improvement.”

I had to repost this from a mom that knows her funny stuff (shout out to Lelah......thanks for sharing) Justin Timberlake and Beyonce are so funny!!!!!

Something is always so fun when it comes to cooking. OK, well sometimes it also means a mess to but that's part of the fun. I am sure for the kiddos atleast. I am soooooo thinking this dessert option, THANKSGIVING style, has minimal mess but something the kids can look forward to. This way if you have to bribe them, which I NEVER do, something will hold them over while you are cooking and they are NOT messing up the house.

When I was talking to the Present Professor (an excellent place to find the perfect gift for those hard to buy for people) about the perfect or most disasterous gift I received, I knew that I had to make an entry.

My children were so excited about spending some time at the playground in woodbine.
