I can’t begin to recall how many times I have received a hand picked boquet of Dandelions that have been presented by a sweet little boy with the sweetest little smile on his face. My reaction to said boquet has always been… well… not so enthusiastic. I detest Dandelions with all my being. I have [...]
If you’re planning on joining me in Writing Life and still just haven’t quite found that perfect journal, be sure to check out my Writing & Journaling Pinterest board. I just started it, but ALL of the ideas featured in this post are there with links to the source. Be sure to check back often [...]
A few of you may have noticed a little nostalgia going on around here. What you can’t see is that a few years worth of posts (well, several years worth actually) did not fully transfer when I re-installed this site a few years ago. It’s a long drawn out and frustrating story, but the point [...]
Today, I’m updating some posts that for some reason never fully transferred when I moved my blog to a new server due to problems I was experiencing. As I have been going through them, a few have really just been such a blessing to re-read! So, here’s an excerpt of one (plus link to full [...]

Making a more conscious decision to work out isn’t always easy, but the great thing is that the rewards for doing it are phenomenal. After joining the MapMyFitness challenge I have been a lot more consistent with my workouts and when I do workout I feel amazing afterward. Have you joined yet? If you haven’t [...]
The life of a parent can be such a busy one, there are definitely times when it can all feel overwhelming. Lately I’m finding that in addition to the usual stress, I may also experience a bit of anxiety and even insomnia. So today, I wanted to take a moment to address all of this [...]
I thought I was the only one. That every other mom out there somehow had it figured out but me. I sometimes question my ability to be a good parent simply based on how easy it can be to get so very overwhelmed with the endless list of things I need to do. I sometimes can’t [...]
Do the holidays leave anyone else feeling just plain tired? Maybe it’s just me, but I know that I’ll spend pretty much this entire week getting everything and everyone back in order after the holidays. Laundry is no worse (thank goodness), but it’s no better either, even after a full two holiday weeks of no [...]
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 [...]
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
