Next Thursday is the ultimate Veggie Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.
On the Thursday before Thanksgiving, I like to make a super veggie Asian style stir-fry. The taste and texture of the stir-fry is so very different then the Thanksgiving meal that I think it causes me to appreciate both a little extra. If you are stuck on what to whip up in the next few days or week, try having something totally different from what you ...
This week I celebrated my 7th wedding anniversary. And what I mean by “celebrated” is this – my partner and I spent the night together at Target buying holiday dresses for our girls for an upcoming family photo shoot.
So while it wasn’t the most romantic of anniversaries, here’s why it rocked – I got to walk around Target holding hands with the greatest person I have ever known who I have hands-down been ...

So my oldest boy, Fletch, is almost three years old. My youngest, Riley is six months. Currently, my fantastic wife is out of town for a week. So this week I am Mr. Mommin it up. You don’t realize how much effort kids really are until you lose half your team!
You see - the problem is now I am outnumbered. It’s two on one right now– its coming full speed, and the two ...

Oil on CanvasI created this painting in honor of the women in my life…the ones that are always there, and the ones that were temporarily there, but gave a piece of them selves to support me. One of these chic’s nicknamed it “The Daisies”. I love how cheery that sounds. Sometimes life is rocky….sometimes it’s filled with flowers. Can’t know one, without the other…
It’s been a long time since I was in elementary school and participated in a good old-fashioned bake sale. I remember looking forward to those days with eager anticipation. My favorite was cupcakes, though my mom made a pretty mean brownie (no nuts please). I was a chocolate fiend then, though I’ve matured into a vanilla lover.
Now that I’m a mom myself, I look forward to bake sales. I’m sure ...

As a "mom blogger" (I have my own blog called Unconditional Mom as well) I often speak to numerous Moms’ on the World Wide Web. Last night I took part in a discussion that has inspired this particular blog. It was whether or not we, as Mothers, should encourage our children to believe in Santa Claus knowing that someday we will have to tell the sad story of his non-existence while looking into the eyes ...
As the winter months are nearing I am having more and more days that I feel like a bear more than a human. I understand hibernation completely. Something physically comes over me and my body, mind and soul are screaming to slow down, stay warm and gather energy. There’s a chill in the air, the overwhelm of the holidays and sick days ahead can make me want to pull the covers over ...
At 9 PM Central on Thursday, Oct. 29, the Steely Family embarked on an ambitious adventure that most parents dare not even mention. What am I talking about? The Family Road Trip.
So far, the trip has been pretty eventful, complete with overnight stays in Wal-Mart parking lots and dances with crazy drivers. During one stretch through Kansas, we were greeted with a noisome odor. Being that we were in rural Kansas, I assumed it ...
New beginnings are filled with hope and bring the element of surprise & excitement... We've all reached a point in our life when it's time to change one thing or another.. Spring or fall, Summer or Winter, we all need to rejuvenate. Some of the most exciting changes that occur, are when we decide to change something in our bodies or our daily routine. For example: deciding to lose weight, That inital glee is ...
My mother does it. So does my friend Susan. My sister does it, and most of my friends without kids, but not Elena, so you can’t generalize like that. Actually now that you mention it, Lizzie doesn’t do it either, so it’s not an annoying you-don’t-have-kids-and-you-do-this-thing, thing. It’s just a regular you-have-undiagnosed-borderline-personality-disorder thing, thing. Guys do it too, but not nearly as much.
What they do is this; follow me ...
Making the decision to have a home birth is not for everyone but after time, thought and research, my husband and I came to the decision that this is how we want to welcome our daughter to the world. As we considered all options, I was constantly reminded of what my mother told me when I was young: “The hospital is where you go when you are sick; pregnancy is not a sickness.” Although I ...
Imagining your kid having sex is about as icky as imagining your parents having sex. Eeech. Nonetheless, you have to decide how you feel about it. To even contemplate your position about sex and, God forbid, your child, you have to map your territory. This will help you stay in the present without the guilt you may be tempted to wallow in as you review your own story. Your experiences can only inform your position ...
