Mommy Musings - Food, Friendship And Just Good Stuff
I have always believed that the best test of friendship, is to see who is surrounding you during the worst of times.

Mommy Musings - Cowgirls And Finish Lines
After a few months of hibernation and quality family time, along comes April. This April in particular, I could not help but wonder what life might be like in another zip code. April in Oakdale is - simply put - jam packed. We start the month with Little League Opening Day and conclude it with a good old fashioned Easter Egg Hunt. My favorite April events however, have held steady for the better part of ...

Life is full of metaphors, or at least mine is.
Mommy Musings - What To Write … What To Write?

As an only child, I spent a lot of my childhood surrounded by adults.
Mommy Musings - The “I Do’s” And “I Don’ts”
Planning a wedding is not for the faint at heart. It has been 20 years since I stood at the front of a church and pledged my commitment to my husband. Since then, little has changed when it comes to getting married. Sure, dresses have fewer crystals and are sleeker, elegance has been redefined. Regardless of the decade or the trend, a bride is still a bride. As I've gotten older, I've come to realize ...
