Letters For You

I have the privilege of participating in my dear friend Tonya’s Letters for You series today. Tonya, who writes beautifully at Letters For Lucas, is an inspiration and a lifeline, and I am thrilled to be part of something so sentimental and special.
Check out my letter to my husband, who I couldn’t fathom doing this parenting thing without, here: Letters For You

Moms That Blog Interview
February 21, 2012 By Gingerbreadmama Leave a Comment
Charlene from Adventures-In-Mommy-Land is a busy mom of 6 (wow, right?!?) who still finds the time to support and highlight other moms with her Moms That Blog series. And lucky for me, today she is sharing my interview!
Check me out over at her site, Adventures-In-Mommy-Land: Here
Because, as she says, “It’s not where you go, or what you do, it’s who is besides you that counts…”
Thanks Charlene, for the opportunity!

Kicked, while down – A TMI post. You’ve been warned.

On days like today, I’m so happy for yoga breaths. As previously blogged, last month I had a miscarriage and a D&C. I was supposed to have follow-up blood work done until my HCG levels were under 5 but I never did it. Chalk it up to stress, exhaustion, denial, whatever, I just couldn’t go [...]
Wordful Wednesday: injuries but not on my watch
February 1, 2012 By Gingerbreadmama 1 Comment
I went out of town (Sundance Film Festival, it was awesome and I’ll post pictures and recap later) and while I was gone I got a phone call from my kid’s school. Little Miss had bumped her head while playing with a friend and had a red mark on her forehead but was otherwise fine. [...]
Stronger. 2012, here I come.

I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions. I don’t like them and the only one I’ve kept is the one I made not to make them. I’d rather set goals throughout the year, targeting areas that are meaningful to me at that time. And 2012 won’t be any different, except that I’m going to be more [...]

I am so excited and thrilled to say I’m over at Mommy of a Monster & Twins today sharing a Mommy Moment! Thank you so much to Natalie for asking me to play along. Go check me out over there and then read all her posts (and all the other Mommy Moments) because she is [...]
Losing it
January 6, 2012 By Gingerbreadmama 1 Comment
I so wish this post was about losing the holiday pounds but alas, it is not. It is about me being a dumb-ass. I’ve lost (and lose) many things; my sanity, my temper, my patience all being high on the list but I don’t lose material objects. That’s not to say I’ve never lost anything tangible, [...]
Turning FIVE & getting to be “only-child” for a few hours
January 3, 2012 By Gingerbreadmama 3 Comments
Fussypants is five years old. Yesterday was his birthday. I still can’t believe it. Five. 5, cinco, 5, fünf. Crap. Am I old enough to have an almost Kindergartner? Ok, don’t answer that. He had an amazing birthday, mostly because he was so excited to be 5. Seriously excited. Beyond seriously excited. I could have [...]
Making lemonade
December 21, 2011 By Gingerbreadmama 4 Comments
I had a maddening mommy moment today. Yesterday another mom texted me to verify that it was “feast” day (where the parents all bring a food item so the kids can have a special lunch party and we don’t have to pack our kids a lunch) at the preschool because she didn’t make her son [...]
Santa photo – Making Memories
December 17, 2011 By Gingerbreadmama 3 Comments
Little Miss didn’t get to see Santa last year, on her first Christmas, because she was sick and fell asleep when we went to take our Santa photo. She’s a bit of a mama’s girl right now but I didn’t think she’d have any issues with seeing Santa because her brother was there with her. [...]
Christmas Ditty (Writer’s Workshop)
December 16, 2011 By Gingerbreadmama 4 Comments
It’s been a very long time since I participated in Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop. But this week, I wanna play. However, I’m modifying the prompt I chose a little though: 1.) 10 things I Wanted for Christmas as a Kid but Didn’t Get and Still Want I cannot recall not getting what I wanted for Christmas. [...]
Miscarriage sucks
December 9, 2011 By Gingerbreadmama 51 Comments
The flowers my husband brought to my work, as a surprise Miscarriage sucks for so many reasons. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, a physical drain. Even though this pregnancy was unexpected and at first I wasn’t sure how I felt, every day I was pregnant I was more comfortable with the idea of having a third child. You can’t help [...]
