I’m excited to finally disclose the reason I’ve been MIA over the past two months! Our tribe will continue to grow….as we are expecting baby #3 in early March! All of you moms out there know how tiring the 1st trimester of pregnancy can be. Now, add two VERY ENERGETIC little ones to chase after all day and I’m basically passed out as I eat dinner each night. Needless to say, the blog has been put by the wayside for a bit while I try {Read More}
Time for School!
August 28, 2017 by
IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME… My son started his first day of 4 year old preschool and he was all smiles (as you can see!). It sure helped having quite a few familiar faces from last year in his classroom. I started this poster tradition with birthdays and have now continued on with each first day of school. We shall see how long this tradition will last (crossing fingers I can keep up!) Because he is STILL train obsessed, we were {Read More}
Nautical Themed Party
April 15, 2017 by
So, it’s been a couple weeks since our vacation in Florida and I’m really missing the beach! Watching my boys play together in the sand, riding on the kayak for their first time, searching for seashells, and splashing in the water, made for some great memories. All of this fun in the sun got me to thinking. I should probably post E’s nautical themed first birthday deets from almost a YEAR AGO. Folks, he is almost two!! This mama is suhhhhlacking! It has {Read More}
Book Review: The Danish Way of Parenting
March 8, 2017 by
Getting time to yourself as a parent isn’t something you take for granted. BUT, what to do with the pockets of alone time is the big question. Should I go for a run, take a nap, clean the house (not desired but necessary), have a glass of vino and catch up on Netflix, read a book, finish the project I started, or DO NOTHING? Usually, reading goes by the wayside because it requires FOCUS and I’m pretty tapped out mentally by the time I can actually {Read More}
Life with Kids: 10 realizations you have as a parent!
January 14, 2017 by
Soooo, before I became a parent, I had these hypothetical thoughts in my head of how life would play out once I had kids of my own. I mean, it wouldn’t be all that hard. My children would be these stellar little creatures and I would be the fun, easy going, patient-all-the-time mom. Yup, that’s right….parenthood would be this grand, daring adventure! Well, I guess you could say it’s a daring adventure. But, in a different kind of way. You see, {Read More}
5 White Lies I Tell My Child
March 19, 2016 by
Yes, I admit it. I tell little while lies. I swore I would never be the parent who lied to their child. I told myself pre-kid days, “You should always be upfront and honest with them”. Wellllll, that was wishful thinking. Because….sometimes, you will do anything to keep an ounce of your sanity. The incessant whining. The tantrums. The non-stop questions. There are days when my patience goes out the door and I just can’t seem to keep my cool. Instead of pulling out my hair or shouting from the rooftops, I {Read More}
