Coffee with Cheryl Talking Mommy-hood, family, fun ideas & more!

Okay, first of all, I have no idea what happened to the fonts on here…they’re acting funky, and I just don’t have time to try to figure it out, so bear with me, okay? Secondly, a paper I’m writing for my philosophy class got me thinking about all of you, my lovely readers. Ou...

I know, I totally took the easy way out of which of my Easter Pinterest Picks I tried. Hey, I’m a full-time student with 2 full-time sons – that doesn’t make for much down time! So here they are…the results of our family Easter egg coloring with crayons! Yes, I HAD to make on...

You see this clock right here? Yes, that red one. That is a screen-shot I took of my desktop clock a few minutes ago, and that time is AM people! I just finished writing and typing my 11-page final paper for my ethics class. (Excuse me while I go get something to drink.) Ahhhhh – [...] ...
