Helpful Children

November 10th, 2011 — Kids

So, I’m hoping someone can help me out here. There’s something I just don’t get. I’ve only recently begun cooking, and enjoying it. Bonus that I don’t hate it and that I’m actually kind of decent at it. However. That doesn’t mean that I’m exactly at ease in the kitchen. So, when the kids get… Continue reading →

Stubborn Like The Rest of Us

June 19th, 2011 — Kids, Video

This is one super duper tired baby trying desperately to stay awake.

Day 4 – Surprisingly Excellent

June 16th, 2011 — Kids, Motherhood, Video

Not that I didn’t have to raise my voice occasionally – these kids are perpetually high, I swear. But it was mostly smooth sailing. We worked on some presents for Father’s Day. We had leftover pizza for lunch. We even watched Free Willy (Don’t hate. It’s a classic!) They played outside in the yard a… Continue reading →

Bliss, Mostly

June 11th, 2011 — Kids, Motherhood, Stay-At-Home

I hate to speak too soon, but I’m ridiculously happy to be free from my job. I’ve definitely had my concerns about how I will handle full time at-homeness with the kids, but when I walked out of that building for the last time on Friday, I couldn’t conceal the unadulterated glee on my face….

Chump Change

May 17th, 2011 — Kids, Motherhood

I just had the simultaneous realizations that 1) I am in desperate need of an afternoon snack and 2) I have 50 cents in my pocket for some reason. It took roughly 2 seconds to flash back to the time when I acquired this change, 2 mornings ago. Bri was very thoroughly searching through the… Continue reading →

Explosions in the Outback

May 16th, 2011 — Kids, Motherhood, Toilet Humor

How can one restaurant have such glaringly opposing effects on one woman? When I eat at Outback Steakhouse, my mouth feels a happiness that borders on ecstasy. However, about 10 minutes after leaving this lovely establishment, I begin to experience a familiar, yet terrifying rumble in my midsection. Strange smells begin to emanate from my… Continue reading →

Hands

May 13th, 2011 — Breastfeeding, Kids, Motherhood

In my experience, hands hold some kind of magical power to calm me down or make me feel content, depending on whose hands we’re talking about. It doesn’t matter how stressed out I am; if Brian interlaces his fingers through mine, our hands firmly locked palm to palm, it just makes things seem more manageable…. Continue reading →

Just Feed The Baby

April 15th, 2011 — Breastfeeding, Kids, Motherhood

I could try to write my own post outlining my beliefs on labeling ourselves and others. I could go on and on about belittling other mothers and how detrimental that is to all of us. I won’t though, because I have found the most perfect piece of writing on the subject, that lines up so… Continue reading →

Still My Baby

March 21st, 2011 — Kids, Motherhood

I think I took it for granted that Eli wouldn’t have any issues with Fiona. He was so excited throughout my pregnancy and so thrilled when she finally arrived. He doted on her in a way I could have never expected. He ADORES his baby sister. When he started throwing huge fits, including screaming at… Continue reading →

Holy Cuteness

March 6th, 2011 — Kids, Picture-Heavy

So, one of my four loyal readers refuses to get on Facebook. You know who you are (and I love you!). By special request, I’m posting some of my recent pictures from Facebook on here. Enjoy!
