Vegas was HOT, guys. I mean, H-O-T! Burning hot. 110-113 every day. 90 or so every night. Walking through the outlet mall on Sunday with the sun burning down it felt like it might be a thousand degrees out there. I was pushing the double stroller…

Elliana Nichole
June 1, 2016. I became an Auntie again. The third time (on my side of the family, anyway). The first girl. Elliana Nichole. She’s incredible. I can’t wait to meet her. But that isn’t why my blog was late. …
Baby Cuckoo
That is sort of a disingenuous title. Because I am cuckoo for a baby. Can’t wait to have one! YAY babies! This post is not (exactly) about my biological clock issues. No. This is about the Baby Cuckoo. My Baby Cuckoo. Okay, okay. Technically, he belongs…
Carol Jean
Most of us have family, in some regard or another. I, for one, have a large one. Both paternal and maternal cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts & great-uncles, second and third and fifteenth cousins… Growing up, I always felt a bit of a black sheep. My family never made me…
The Blue List, Episode One

Glut of Birthdays
Between November and December each year, a huge number of people in my life celebrate their birthdays. People who I am close to and care for – not just Facebook acquaintances and celebrities. My mother-in-law, a wonderful woman who made me feel loved and included and accepted from the…
The Pink List, Episode One
We’re playing a little game here at JeezJosie.com! This week, The Pink List. A list of memories I have about an event with my parents. Guess the event! The Circus-Circus Clown’s nose blinking erratically. My dad posed for a photo with a one-armed showgirl. The showgirl…
Modest
I have been thinking a lot about Daddy these past couple of days, as is customary around the anniversary of his birth and his death, and about how much I miss him. How much I wish he were here to meet his precious little grandson, Malakai, and both of…
Here Comes the Bride (part two)
To recap: Together 8 years. Finally set a date post-heart attack. Planned low-key, low-budget affair on NYE. Small guest list. Anti-stress. Our rings arrived about a week before the wedding (i.e. two days before Christmas) and despite agonizing over the sizing – they were both huge. Replacements were re-ordered…
