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 all know about the multitudes of stages our children go through from infancy through adulthood and beyond. But what I have found most amazing is that we rarely hear about how that affects us not only as parents but in every way. There are definitely Parenting stages and around here, we have embarked on [...]
I recently was contacted by a subscriber and she shared her heart and a few challenges that she’s having with her kiddos. As I read her email, I felt her pain and the frustration of the part of parenting that sometimes can be so hurtful…disrespectful children. My kids aren’t perfect. We’ve had plenty of hiccups [...]
As we rummage through all of the vastness that is our children’s back to school supplies, typically not one thing in there is for us. I admit, occasionally I’ll grab a set of yummy pens (I love smooth writing pens so much it’s not even funny!), or a pretty journal, but other than that, nothing! [...]
I entered motherhood as most of us do, full of plans and expectations and ….well…. I “knew” exactly how it would go. Six children later, I laugh at the new-mom-me and am learning to embrace reality.

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 [...]
This post was originally published on March 7, 2008, when the twins were just over 2 years old. It’s so funny to look back on this now, because I so totally remember it (though some of it is still painfully true). Before we walk down memory lane, here’s a little visual then and now for [...]
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
