I would love to see a world where every baby is born healthy and into a home that can nurture and care for them in a way that keeps them healthy and thriving. I know this is wishful thinking, and that to think this could truly happen definitely doesn’t seem realistic, but the thought is [...]
Recently it occurred to me that I actually need to start thinking about what we need to do and get for our summer vacation. Going away as a family of 8 for an entire week to the lake 6 hours away takes a lot of planning. Sure, there’s a lot of things that have to [...]
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 [...]
Winter has descended upon us turning our average rainy Pacific Northwest into a Winter Wonderland complete with snow plowed piles along the side of the road and a power outage for a few hours tonight as well! We had the most amazing beautiful chilly, clear day on Friday with a sunset that lit up the [...]

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 [...]
We all like to feel safe and secure in our daily lives, but sometimes the unthinkable happens and that safety is put in question. I don’t like to think about all the “what if’s” in life frankly. As we quickly jet toward the year 2012 many of us are thinking about those ominous “New Year’s [...]
The holidays can be an overwhelming and often stressful time for families (parents in particular), something I know it was never intended to be. The simplest and most amazing story of joy and hope was given to us on that very first Christmas, but it’s so hard to see past the glitter, lights and dollar [...]
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
