My son, Aaron, aka AJ will be 6 today. He is a wonderful boy. He is full of energy, he loves sports and has a natural ability to caught on quickly to anything physical. He loves Papa John’s pizza, and would eat it for all 3 meals if he could. He loves his sister and… Continue reading Happy Birthday AJ

Today I learned a few things while staying home with all three kids all day by myself. I first learned, they eat A LOT. I feel like all I did today was feed them. Second I learned, if you just sit on the couch and avoid every other room, you will not see the huge… Continue reading PJ day

I have been working a lot lately. I’m only working about 30 hours a week, but it feels like 100. I am not sure how all you moms that work do it. That includes you home school moms out there because we all know that you spend at least 8 hours a day doing that… Continue reading For all the working moms out there

So we have never really had a babysitter before. We are not the overly paranoid parents that do not feel we can leave them in the hands of others, but frankly we were just too poor to be able to pay for a sitter and have a night out. Whenever we do have a sitter… Continue reading Date night

I know this is going to be a riveting post for everyone but I just have to talk about it. I hate cleaning floors.

I found that the first couple of years on this day I could not function. I found… Continue reading Happy Birthday Dad

December has not been too kind to us here at the Gary house. My son had a rash which turned out to be Fifth’s Disease. A virus that was contagious before the rash, and once you have the rash you are fine. The rash looks bad, but was harmless once it appears. My daughter then… Continue reading germs, germs and more germs

So today I got a text from my husband that my daughter was sick and he was going to get her from school. First thing I thought of was how sad I was that I was not the one to be taking care of my baby. The minute I got home, at 4pm I knew… Continue reading At then I realized how grown up she is

I have a confession to make to all of you. I like Christmas decorations. I know I know you may be shocked. I am so not crafty, a decorator, or designer. I don’t really do decorations. I don’t put up decorations for Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, or even Kwanzaa. I know it’s sad, you… Continue reading It’s Christmas time!
