In the Blink of an Eye
Just as I started to feel like I was getting a handle on this whole "working mom" thing, summer break arrived. Not that I'm complaining! Actually, I'm super stoked to have the month of June off; there is SO much happening in these next four weeks that I'll need the...
One Season to Another
I've been yapping on and on about my new digital songbook collection, Spring Into Summer, yet I've completely neglected to share the title song here on the blog. I wrote it just off the heels of our final winter snowstorm (I lost count back in January), when spring...
Can’t Hold It Back Anymore
It just doesn't seem right to be singing about frozen fractals when it's 80 degrees out. But that didn't stop the melodious strains of "Let It Go" from flowing out of my fingertips today...multiple times. Don't get me wrong: I love the movie Frozen and just about...
{Mama Moment} 15 Minute Break
This year, for the first time ever, I scheduled a break halfway through my afternoon/evening of work. The picture above illustrates how I've spent those 15 minutes every day since September -- up until today. This week, my trusty Medela pump is going into storage...

First Mother’s Day

Eleven
When Parker was born and we decided to take weekly growth photos until his first birthday, it seemed like FOREVER away. Now all of the sudden we are just a mere month from taking one last photo in the chair next to Mr. Teddy. Parker's thoughts on this: "Thank...
“Spring Into Summer” is Here!
I knew I was excited about this project when I actually looked forward to staying up late transcribing my songs into sheet music and designing the layout. I haven't gotten much sleep over the past two weeks, but the finished product is worth it. I wanted to create a...
And Off He Goes
We've had a cruiser for awhile now, but last week (April 24, to be exact) Parker decided he didn't need any assistance. He had taken a step or two in his room, so I grabbed my phone with the hopes of catching it on video. To my absolute surprise, he took his longest...
