Tips for Parenting a Strong Willed Child

October 28, 2014 By SoberJulie 24 Comments

Almost 11 years ago I gave birth to my first child, a daughter who entered the world in a dramatic fashion three weeks early via an emergency c-section. That day is etched upon my soul, the nuances of the smells, sounds and experiences are ones I can recall as if I'm instantly there. After weeks of feeling her grow within my body, of mentally, emotionally and physically preparing for her arrival our first-born had arrived and the joy was overwhelming. Sydney's arrival pulled my husband and I ...

Cell Phones – The Joys, Spellcheck Fails and Selfies

May 9, 2014 By SoberJulie 9 Comments

These days most of us have mobile devices and frankly when I meet someone who doesn't, I experience some shock and a strange kind of envy. Yes, I said envy! Imagine being unreachable, able to simply be IN the moment without ever being interrupted. Then of course my true nature kicks in and I realized that I'd have a very hard time being utterly unplugged. Seriously, have you seen how much I am on social media? My phone usage has changed over the years, where once it was for speaking to others ...

They Stole My Mojo & Left Me With Wet Wipes – Joys of Motherhood

January 19, 2014 By SoberJulie 4 Comments

This weekend has reminded me why I'll never qualify for the June Cleaver award or any other motherhood award. Deep within my soul I do have a talent for organizing and managing schedules. Apparently the rest of life is sitting in front of it so this talent hasn't a chance to flourish. Or so I tell myself. Honestly, when I had children it all began so innocently. With our first born I had those mini-baby socks all paired, sheets were properly folded with the fitted corners tucked into each ...

Chelsea is 8 Today!! Introducing Chelsea Chat…a kidblog for her birthday

December 13, 2013 By SoberJulie 7 Comments

Today our youngest daughter, Chelsea turns 8 years old! As you can imagine, this is a BIG day...it would be for anyone celebrating a birthday but perhaps it's compounded by being the youngest in her class. She has been waiting ALL year to be the same age as everyone in her class and today there were cheers when we found out the school busses were running, it's been snowing overnight and oh how upset she would have been if she didn't get to share the day with her friends. When we asked ...

In The Thick of Motherhood, It’s Not All Pretty

March 18, 2013 By SoberJulie 15 Comments

Motherhood collage

Sitting in my quiet home today has me somewhat in a state of bliss, I've actually contemplated reorganizing the shoes I'm that happy! Days like today are the ones that aren't listed in the Motherhood books. I have YET to find a book titled Motherhood: The state when a person fully understands the value of silence. I'm sure there's a title out there which is similar to the one I've noted but it definitely wasn't on my pre-Motherhood reading list. Within the stacks of What to Expect books there ...
