Today I’m just plain excited…
…because today I am visiting one of my favorite places in the universe (yes, universe): Four Plus an Angel.
You know Jessica’s blog, right? If you’ve read her words, then you have also laughed, cried and let your heart swell beyond imagining. The raw truths she shares about being a mother (four in her arms, one in her heart) literally take my breath away.
But also Jessica’s got a fantastic sense of humor that’s been sharpened by the realities of being a mom, a blogger, a writer and friend. So when she said she wanted guest posters to share funny stories from their past summers, I jumped at the chance.
(Okay. I didn’t jump. But I did email her back immediately to say, “I’m in!”)
And then I wrote something I’ve been dying to share at my own blog but never could bring myself to publish here. Read it and you’ll see why. Probably. Or maybe these things happen at your house all the time.
Either way, I got my son’s permission to tell this story.
So please visit me there. Read, comment and check out Four Plus an Angel. Then follow Jessica on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. You won’t be sorry.
(Okay, you may feel sorry for Jack.)
Shhhh.

Featured Post: My Favorite Post
Would you believe me if I said that I actually gave quite a bit of thought to my 100th post? (I know. Such an overachiever. 100 posts in less than two years! How does she do it?)
Unfortunately, I didn’t pay close attention to how many posts I had published because when you’re... Read more
Featured Post: Today call me laid
Today call me laid but I’m referring to grammar; more specifically to the infinitives to lie and to lay. So if your Google search brought you here for something sexier, you’re in luck. There’s nothing hotter than the proper conjugation of verbs.
(Besides... Read more
Featured Post: Today call me a mother.
Today call me a mother; which means of course I’ve embraced the joys and uncertainties, the fear and faith that attends the title. Motherhood is a gift beyond words, a challenge that bears a name but no fair or complete description.
In its sharpest distillation, parenting calls... Read more

I loved the storytelling and I love that you got his permission, too. My eldest is 13 and it never ceases to amaze me that I am a parent to someone who is bigger than I am and speaks in a baritone…
