A few weeks ago I was at the store, rushing in on my lunch break quickly to grab a few needed supplies for my daughter’s birthday party the next day (because sacrificing a meal is much easier than dragging 3 kids to a craft store at bedtime). I was trying to focus on the task… Continue reading Play

I find it crazy how something as simple as mint chocolate chip ice cream and spark so many emotions. When I was sick a few weeks ago I asked my husband to get some. However once he got it I instantly did not want it anymore. When I was growing up my dad always made… Continue reading Mint chocolate chip

I was always sad growing up that I didn’t have a sister. I wanted one really bad. I figured if I had a sister I would always have a best friend and someone that I could talk to that would listen no matter what and not think I was totally crazy. Or if she did… Continue reading Brotherly love

As all parents know, and as I’m sure I have said a billion times, being a parent is hard work. It is the toughest job I have ever done, or will ever do. Recently one of the tough parts is trying not to doubt yourself. Doubt can be dangerous, but powerful. For me, trying to… Continue reading No doubt

Then Monday my son decided that my house was just too awesome and he totally flooded the downstairs. I cried, he laughed, my husband sucked up water. It’s now Friday and we… Continue reading Oh the memories

I am not thrilled that school is starting tomorrow. I have not had enough time with the kids and I feel we did not have enough fun to carry us through this next round. With that being said, I have no fear or anxiety over them actually being at school. I have been  blessed with… Continue reading A simple call

I hope I’m not the only one that does this, but when it’s your birthday and you have to write the date, you start to right your birth year, not the current year. Am I the only one? Anyway, that happened while I was with a client today, so I told her it was my… Continue reading Happy birthday to me!

All week long I have been thinking, did that really just happen? First on Sunday my lovely 3 year old took neon yellow nail polish and painted all over my daughter’s wall. He then found a pen and drew all over the living room wall. I knew flat paint was not going to be my… Continue reading Yes, that happened
