One morning recently I took a quick walk through my neighborhood as my exercise for that day. It was great weather and other people were out and about as well. On one of the blocks I saw my neighbor friend’s two boys riding their scooters. As I passed them I said, “Hey guys” and one…
How Could You Be So Harsh?
The other day I went to Target to pick up a few a lot of things and I was alone (I KNOW!!) since my babysitter was hanging with the kiddos. You know how it is when you go shopping alone (if you’re a parent), you’re just SO much more relaxed when the only person you have…
Canadian Fun!
I’m leaving for BlogHer on Wednesday so I want to leave some more a kajillion photos from our trip to Canada up before I jet outta her (Get it, “jet” outta here? I know, I’m hilarious). They don’t need a ton of explanation. You can probably tell from them that we had a wonderful time! We…
Happy AND Proud #HappyMamas
The other day K came home from school talking about “baby Bennett” and that he had a “bo-bo” the size of an orange in his tummy. At first I was not completely sure what she was talking about, but of course I had an idea. Later on that day as I was going through her…
Hamster Bamster
What do a nine year-old boy (almost ten!) and a 4 year-old little girl have in common? Some majorly fierce love for the family hamster, that’s what. Y’all, this is seriously THE most loved-on hamster on the planet, I mean it. She has the opportunity to hang out in the horse barn… …and…
The Happy Mama Movement Begins!
My kids surprise me sometimes. I mean, actually, they surprise me a lot. And of course not always in a way I want to be surprised. Sometimes they come around the corner in a Batman mask to purposely surprise me and I pee a little. That way is definitely not my favorite. And sometimes they…
So This Was Christmas
It is not often that you see a rainbow and a potential pot of gold in December but see it we did, as the kids and I headed to Texas for Christmas. Don’t worry, Tim met us there after his weekend of hunting… As you’ll see in the photos below, a wonderful time…
Restless
It seems as if Christmas cannot come soon enough for my kids. Last night Tim and I stayed up to finally wrap several gifts and when the children awoke in the morning and saw them under the tree they about lost it. And wanted it to be Christmas Eve TODAY. Now. This minute. It is…
My Day. How Was Yours?
“Would you please not do that?” “Why did you do that?” “Really?!” “Tell your brother you are sorry.” “Well then, we’ll just go home!” “Mom does not respond to whining.” “You want another snack? But you JUST ate.” “No, you may not have another piece of candy.” “Please, just get in the bathroom.” “IF YOU…
Over Lunch…
I sighed as I opened the fridge door, thinking about the fact that I needed to eat some lunch. The little girl in the house had already determined she wanted macaroni and cheese so I pulled one of the microwavable packets from our pantry. The hum of the microwave sounded in the background as I…
