Lessons in fear

March 31, 2011 by Shannon  |  5 Comments

Have I ever told you about my biggest fear? No? Oh geez…I can’t believe this hasn’t come up before. Well, it just so happens that I turn into a complete maniac at the sight of a spider. Yep, arachnophobia. I’ve got it bad.

To illustrate the height of my phobia, let me tell you what I had to resort to while living by myself…

So here's the deal...

You know that ambiguous post about life’s changing seasons, where I mentioned that I have a bit of a change on the horizon? No, I’m not pregnant again. Here’s the deal…

Crap! The croup is back!

Crap! The croup is back!

By far, one of the things I hate most about this motherhood gig is dealing with THE CROUP. It is a miserable ailment. Kellan is prone to it, and if you didn’t know, the hallmark of croup is how it attacks a kid’s windpipe…

My secret life

March 17, 2011 by Shannon  |  4 Comments

I’m not big on secrets. In fact, I’m probably more of an oversharer when it comes to the details of my life. My friends probably hear way more than they care to. But sometimes, I feel like I’m living a weird sort of secret life, because there’s a certain group of people who see me on a regular basis, but know very little about me.

Happy Birthday Kellan!!!

Happy birthday to my sweet and wonderful four year-old boy! I can’t believe you’re four. It seems like just a couple months ago I brought you home, sat in a rocker and wept tears of joy that you were finally here…

Life's changing seasons

Life never stops long enough for me to grab on and hold it still. As much as I’d like to, our family’s little world is constantly changing and evolving…

Nothing whatsoever to say

February 18, 2011 by Shannon  |  2 Comments

So….yeah. Here’s another little problem with my goal of blogging more.

When I get a glorious little window of free time, I have nothing to say.

Kellan is at preschool, the baby is (finally!) asleep, and I have no idea what I could possibly write about. No idea whatsoever. Hmm…

Happy Valentine's Day!

A day to celebrate love.

What could be better than that?

I hope that your day is filled with love – whether that’s in the form of chocolate, love notes, hugs, kisses, good food, good friends…or all of the above…

Love Heart Art

Love Heart Art

Remember folding paper in half and cutting out hearts as a kid? I always loved plastering my classroom valentine bag with a smattering of simple and symmetrical paper hearts in red, white and pink. In fact, I still love them. But instead of gluing a mish-mash of them all over a brown paper bag, I now have a much more stylish way to use them…

10 Ways I rocked 2010

10 Ways I rocked 2010

I’m a little late in summarizing my successes of 2010, but whatever. Better late than never.

In fact, it didn’t even occur to me to write this post until recently. I started thinking about things I would like to accomplish in 2011, and it occurred to me that I really had a pretty rockin’ 2010…

Um, hi…remember me?

Um, hi...remember me?

Wowee. Time flies when you’re not blogging.

I’ve really been missing my regular posts here on AnchorMommy and missing all of you who come here to visit me. And I thought to myself, “I should really post about why I’m not posting, so the few people who actually care will know where I’ve been…”
