Karen – My Life With My Girls | Adventures in Mommyhood

I’m a different person now….
ByKaren January 11, 2018January 11, 2018
Something happened yesterday that really upset me. I wanted to cry so bad but my medication doesn’t allow me to cry very easily. (And that’s okay!). But I was very sad and I had a lot to do. It would have been great to have a hug and to be held for a little while, I feel safe that way. But that wasn’t readily available to me so I picked myself up and went on with my day and surprisingly, I was very productive. And then later on in the afternoon I realized that 7 months ago I would have just shut down for the day and felt helpless, alone, sad… and I would have had a pity party for me because Steve wasn’t here…

Time for our Annual Scrapbook Weekend – Girl’s Weekend
ByKaren September 18, 2013September 18, 2013
The fall doesn’t only bring back to school, football and cooler weather, but it also brings Scrapbook Weekend with my BFF Jodi! I look forward to this weekend every single year. We actually went earlier in the year during the winter as a bonus weekend (and hope to do that again in 2014) but I still couldn’t wait to go. Jodi and I plan this every year and we rent a hotel room that has two bedrooms and a kitchenette so we can cook all our meals as well. We usually pig out big time but since we are both trying to eat healthier this year, we did really well with our meals. But the main reason we are there is to scrapbook and I …

Me and My NEW Black Boot
ByKaren April 1, 2013April 19, 2013
This is no April Fools joke….. Sometime in January I did something to my left foot. Not sure what I did or when I did it, but I believe it happened in January. It’s been hurting since then but I just ignored it. Best way to fix it right? Then last month when I went to Texas for a conference, it got worse the say I was traveling and I could hardly walk all weekend while there. I knew I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I made an appointment for the following week with my doctor from the hotel room in Texas, that is how bad it hurt. A week later I found out that I have a stress fracture and the only thing to…

Father Daughter Dance – 30 Years Ago
ByKaren April 14, 2012
Holly was so excited to go to the Father Daughter dance this year and last year and Allison can’t wait to go next year. It got me thinking of when I was little and went myself. And then my mother gave me some old pictures and I found this picture! I was so excited when I did. Those of you that know me, know that is not my father so let me explain. My father doesn’t like LOUD music, never did and still doesn’t. When I was little he took me to my first Father Daughter dance and he didn’t enjoy it as much as I did because the music was too loud. So the following year he asked a family friend to take…

Coffee with A Friend
ByKaren March 29, 2012
I love coffee – most people that know me know I love coffee. Allison loves that I love coffee too. She relates the smell of coffee with me and it’s a comfort smell for her. It’s sort of cute! Recently I was drinking a cup of coffee and had a little left and it got cold so I didn’t want anymore. I asked Allison if she could put my cup on the counter for me. She asked if she could smell it first, something she loves doing almost every time I make a cup of coffee. I told her sure, just to be careful. She came back a few moments later and was giggling. She told me that she was smelling my coffee and tipped…
