As you can imagine, life with my Twinky Dinks (aka. twins) in school has been interesting to say the least. Through the years I have given you all tiny little hints into the reality of life with them, but the full truth… well, I may have underestimated your ability to handle it. I apologize! In [...]
Shoes should be a simple item, a daily part of your wardrobe, functional to protect feet from things on the ground and also keep them warm… right? Well, this is what I thought along with the fact that it’s a simple matter when you take them off somewhere they stay there or if you put [...]
We knew the day was coming. The countdown to 15 1/2 years was ticking away. Then suddenly it arrived, and I had no excuse, I had to renew my driver’s license so it only made sense to take “the kid” with me to get his permit. He was already enrolled in Driver’s Education locally and [...]
Yes, this is a random post, but hey sometimes a girl just needs a little chocolate…. this has been one of those days. And I have to wonder if I’m alone. The end of the school year is extra hectic this year and … well… as unhealthy as it may seem, a little chocolate sometimes [...]

Do you ever find that there are times in life where you just have to keep pushing forward and it seems to go on and on? I love that even though things may seem like an endless river (and often I find myself swimming against the current), eventually there is a destination. The journey may [...]
Today I had one of those moments. An epiphany if you will, about how vitally important friendships are as a mom. As I left my friend’s house after a very fun little party she was hosting it hit me… This is what I have been missing. This is what I crave. I love getting together [...]
It has been an interesting week and a half around here. Yes, there has definitely been an absence of posts and for that I apologize but truly things have been a little crazier than normalIt has been an interesting week and a half around here.

Often the unexpected comes in forms that we never could have anticipated. Both good and bad come from the unexpected, we just never know what we’re going to end up with. What happens though when an unexpected turn of events in life that you think might be a blessing in disguise goes terribly wrong. This [...]
Not long ago, our Redbone Coonhound, Sadie, passed away. It was sudden and unexpected and very very challenging particularly for the youngest members of our family. Dealing with death is never fun, explaining it to children in a way that is honest yet softened is definitely difficult. Sadie was a playmate, friend, comforter and confidante [...]
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more
