Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. But of course, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I am not sure if y’all have noticed lately but my kids are growing up at like lightening speed! When I started this blog back at the end of 2006 The B Man looked like this: And now…
Growing Things & #HappyMamaSummer $125 Giveaway!
The boys’ school planted a garden back in the Spring and K and I went to assist on the day the soon-to-be pepper, tomato and zucchini squash plants went into the prepared earth. It was really great to see all the kids, teachers and some parents (even grandparents) working on it together. A few tomato plants were…
2 + 5 = SEVEN!
When “Little G” was born I watched the American Idol finale from my hospital bed while I continued to learn to nurse him. I always remember who won that year, it was Jordan Sparks. She beat out Blake (cannot remember his last name) and I was a little sad about that. But I was happy…
Some thoughts, some pictures
The other day I walked into the dance studio to deliver K to her class and on the long bench before me sat several mothers I did not recognize. But then I DID recognize them. They were mothers of little ones. You know, new-ish moms with kids younger than school age. Each one sat with…
Oh, This Kid!
Last week was one of some major milestones for my middle child. He lost his second top tooth, taking his classic first-grader lisp to the next level – one of epic proportions, I must add. But even though I can’t always understand him that well right now, I don’t care because it’s so damn cute!…
Just You and Me Girl
It is already school registration time around here and Tim and I have decided to send K to the same school as the boys in the Fall. She will be 5 shortly after school starts so I think sending her five days a week will be fine. Of course this means our days of just…
A picture, a thousand words, you know the saying
I mean seriously people. This kid. She picked out everything she is wearing herself. I take NO credit. And as I took this photo she said to me “Put your hands up, Mama!!” Can I put my bathing suit on first, please? She had a bow in her hair for a bit (thatdidnotmatchanything), to keep…
Just Keep Swimming
“Where did the big girl come from?” We say it a lot these days. The sun was bright and hot while we were at the pool yesterday. I kept one eye on G and the other on K while Tim and Ben went down the big S-shaped slide. Everyone is braver this year. Ben loves…
On Bike Helmets and Growing Up
Since K is my last “baby” I seem to be a little more um… sensitive to her firsts and her milestones (read: I’m freaking out a little about the fact that she is my last baby and OHMYGAWD what a mess I will be in a couple of years when she goes to Kindergarten!!) {Except the no-more-diapers…
The Real Santa
The Saturday afternoon before Christmas I was given the chance to go play Santa. Tim sent me off to go shopping for a bit and I was able to finish up my shopping (mostly for him!). I was so joyful, happy with my purchases, feeling the Christmas spirit in the chilly air and smiling on…
