When Your Daughter Is Getting Married (And You Have 6 Kids)

January 8, 2017 by blythenewsome

When my children were young I would throw some of the most amazing birthday parties. Every year I would throw six fun birthday parties, one for each child with a theme, decorations, and activities. 20 years later I still bump into to parents and children who share their memories of the Newsome kids’ birthday parties. These parties were always a hit and I was creative and … [Read more...] about When Your Daughter Is Getting Married (And You Have 6 Kids)

When You Have A Better Chance Of Being Struck By Lightning Than Finding True Love

December 28, 2016 by blythenewsome

I once read a statistic that a woman in her mid-forties has a better chance of being hit on the head by falling space debris, bitten by a King Cobra or being struck by lightning than she does of ever finding true love again. Let’s just say that reading that statistic has stuck with me for years.

I can hardly wait to hold her and to watch my brother step into the role of being a daddy.  I have watched him be an amazing … [Read more...] about My Best Parenting Advice: You Can Never Spoil a Child With Love

Finding Time for Family Dinners

May 26, 2016 by blythenewsome Leave a Comment

Rushing home from work, I call the children and tell them to have their cleats on and be waiting outside the door because I will be there in five minutes to pick them up for practice. They excitedly climb in the car and instead of asking them about their day, I find myself barking out the order in which I will drop each child off and then pick them back up. I don’t need a … [Read more...] about Finding Time for Family Dinners
