Friends, I am so excited to share this week’s post. Brought back by popular vote is another article written by my daughter. Her post titled Prepare For Poop: Confessions from a New Mom was LOVED. In fact, I arrived to speak at a retreat and the ladies were talking about my blog–but NOT a post […]

A picture tells a thousand words…the above is a picture of the bathroom my kids used while growing up. It also doubled as my guest bathroom. It has clearly suffered its wear and tear. The chip in the tank lid was from my youngest son. When he was a kid, he would hold his breath […]
Please come in – It’s 7:30 p.m. in the Williams home. Mike and I are both kicking back on our sofa—each reading a book. It’s peaceful. Very peaceful. It’s quite relaxing. It’s quiet.

Sue Klebold, mother of Dylan Klebold, Columbine shooter, is speaking out after seventeen years since that fatal day on April 20, 1999.

I just became a grandmother. And because I’m a writer I have to write about it. This post will be raw and unfiltered. I’ve heard many say, “If I knew how great having grandchildren was I would have had them first.” I never really understood because I loved being a mom and couldn’t imagine anything […]

If you live in California, you know what I’m talking about. My daughter reminded me about part of our Northridge earthquake story that I had forgotten about. Monica was five years […]
