I married a rockstar. Hair, natural and long, the reason for some of his best tips. He had a rendition of Rocketman that would break your heart. Easy on the eyeballs, too. He played at local bars. Never paid for his drinks or company. Our own late night star. But that was years ago; we […] The post On Dreaming :: Bright Lights and Chasing Big Things appeared first on Houston Moms Blog. from https://houston.citymomsblog.com/on-dreaming-bright-lights-and-chasing-big-things/

The group text suddenly grew quieter and quieter. Our usual never-ending thread went from solving the world’s parenting and relationship problems to one word responses. I knew deep in my heart that something was not right, and indeed my gut feeling was spot on. One group member took up an issue with me and to […] The post When You are Cast Off the Mom Tribe Island appeared first on Houston Moms Blog. from https://houston.citymomsblog.com/when-you-are-cast-off-the-mom-tribe-island/ In October of 1988, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed October 15 as National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day. This day recognizes the loss so many parents’ experience all over the world. It is also meant to inform and provide resources for parents who have lost children due to miscarriage, eptopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, stillbirths, birth […] The post Pregnancy and Infant Loss {In Remembrance} appeared first on Houston Moms Blog. from https://houston.citymomsblog.com/pregnancy-and-infant-loss-in-remembrance/ When I say I’m Catholic, I don’t use it as a fleeting adjective. I was born and raised a cradle-Catholic. I was baptized in the Archdiocese of Detroit, attended Mass every weekend, went to Catholic grade school and high school, fully participated in all of the Polish Catholic traditions of my family without fail, married […] The post Why I’m {Still} Raising My Children in the Catholic Church appeared first on Houston Moms Blog. from https://houston.citymomsblog.com/why-im-still-raising-my-children-catholic/ From an outsider’s perspective, the infamous “Terrible Twos” were always just kind of annoying, but not… terrible. I’d witness a family out to dinner at a restaurant and mildly react to the screaming child not wanting to eat their vegetables by giving an eye roll or a laugh to the person sitting across from me. As […] The post Welcome to the Terrible Twos appeared first on Houston Moms Blog. from https://houston.citymomsblog.com/welcome-to-the-terrible-twos/ I still remember the first time we met. He had gigantic blue eyes at the time and a shockwave of orange hair circling his head, stopping just above tiny elfin ears which flanked two wide-set circles of black and blue. At a mere six pounds fourteen ounces, we were left alone in a […] The post On the Eve of Thirteen appeared first on Houston Moms Blog. from https://houston.citymomsblog.com/on-the-eve-of-thirteen/ Last June, I read the post “Why Family Reading Time Should be on Your Summer Bucket List” and was so inspired! I have been reading aloud with my kids for years but had fallen out of the habit thanks to middle school homework. With fresh determination, I boldly commented that I would read aloud a […] The post I Survived a Cancer Scare. This is What I Learned. appeared first on Houston Moms Blog. from http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HoustonMomsBlog/~3/67pugSJ8EKo/ I don’t have the answers. I know I misstepped along the way. I trusted a system where I work hard its simply rewarded. I thought people were as straightforward and transparent as I was. I was naïve to ignore the game perhaps. I was raised in a very Alpha male, authoritarian respecting household and asserting […] The post A Working Mom’s Scream from the Frozen Middle appeared first on Houston Moms Blog. from https://houston.citymomsblog.com/a-working-moms-scream-from-the-frozen-middle/ |
