It had been an extremely busy several weeks. The days were racing by, deadlines were looming, and the items on my to-do list were not disappearing nearly as quickly as I would have liked. That morning, I was getting our boys, aged 5 and 3, ready for school. We were in their bedroom and the [...]

Don’t you forget it!
GO RIGHT AWAY!!!
Our boys both experienced major milestones this past fall – Our 5 year old started kindergarten, and our 3 year old little guy started preschool .

Oh no! I can’t see my bum-bum!!!
I am surrounded by men – one big guy (my hubby), and two little guys (our boys, aged 5 and 3) . Being the naturally inquisitive children that God created our boys to be lol, they are always asking questions about why many things are a certain way, and wanting to know and understand more:). [...]
Lady in the Blue Jacket
It feels like things have always been like this. Early every morning, as we get ready for the day, I look out the window and I see her walking. She is an older lady – probably in her early to mid seventies would be my guess. She is tiny. Her back is a little bit [...]
Don’t Forget To Spank Him!
We have a side by side fridge & freezer – one of those with a freezer from top to bottom on the left side, and a fridge from top to bottom on the right side. It saves us a lot of space – we don’t need a deep freezer in addition to a huge fridge. [...]

It’s Not Up to Them!
A little while ago, the boys had been happily playing with their toys when they both decided they wanted to play pretend with Barney and Leapfrog, two of their favorite stuffed animals. The animals were both out of their reach that day, so they asked if I would get them (My 4yr old wanted his [...]
Samosa Days & Giraffe Nights: A Thank Fest
I am thankful. My home is currently extremely messy and is truly a shame to behold – we’ve all been pretty sick (each of us in varying degrees) this past week, and everything except the essential stuff has taken the back burner. I am thankful we have a home to live in – the mess [...]
