A "MOM" BLOG FOR ALL OF US

You may wonder about the title of my blog. Let me explain. One day long ago when I was getting my son ready for his bath, he asked if I could "Make it warmer." I was surprised by this request as the water seemed plenty warm to me, if not hot. Immediately I received a treasured glimpse into the amazing mind of a child: what he really wanted was for the water to be cooled. After all, he explained in his kid-like way: warm is COOLER than hot. "Make it warmer." I thought that was brilliant. I still do.

Spring Break

I often hear parents say they are so glad that break is over so that the kids will be back in school. Not me. I always feel blessed to have my son home, even if it does mean shouting over the top of Rock Band, buying more milk, surrendering my computer time, washing more clothes. Because one day, he will not live here anymore. One day, he'll be padding down another hallway, chatting on another phone, eating a lunch that I didn't pack.
