Motherhood – Butterfingers for Breakfast

Items In a Purse

Any given day I am amazed at some of the things I find in my purse. So one day, I decided to make a list of what lurked inside. Here’s what I found, most likely in this order. I thought it might interest you: 1 Ketchup packet 1 Chick-fil-A sauce packet 2 mismatched children’s socksContinueContinue reading “Items In a Purse”

These are the days?

I’ve had the relatively same experience a few times recently. It goes something like this: Me out and about with my kids, usually holding one, chasing another. One might be crying, or screaming, or kicking; most definitely someone is running. I am probably trying to do something totally unreasonable like feed them a meal inContinueContinue reading “These are the days?”

‘Bout time for an update

In case you were wondering, I did not go insane after the transcontinental plane ride with two toddlers. It happened a few weeks later. I’m not even sure what to say other than my children are waking up at 5:30 a.m., I am exhausted, I have cried almost every day this week, I haven’t cleanedContinueContinue reading “‘Bout time for an update”

Goodbye Grandma

Well, we didn’t make it to Maine in time. My grandma passed away on August 3, the night before we were scheduled to leave at 4 a.m. We awoke the next morning with solemn hearts and took our time eating breakfast and loading the car. There was no more need to rush. We had missedContinueContinue reading “Goodbye Grandma”

What’s new

Here’s what’s new around our house these days… Yup, he’s pretty much a walker now! Finally! He is 13 months old. As we settle into this second year of having two in tow, things are getting easier. It’s a nice break. When I found out I was going to have another baby only 14 monthsContinueContinue reading “What’s new”

Lessons in moving with toddlers

It’s been such a hectic couple of weeks round here, to stay the least, I almost forgot I had a blog. Okay, not quite but there have been so many things I have wanted to write about, like the well-loved oleaginous Whirly Pop I threw out after six years of use while packing a fewContinueContinue reading “Lessons in moving with toddlers”

Don’t call it a comeback…

Well my husband is home I have internet again! How’s that for an attention grabber? Yeah, well, okay, it’s exciting for me! I probably didn’t mention this before (because of all of those weirdoes out there on the internet who are most likely not reading my blog), but my husband was out of town theContinueContinue reading “Don’t call it a comeback…”

If I ever had a mojo, I think I’ve lost it

Groove, mojo—whatever you want to call it, I fear I’ve lost it. Perhaps forever, because I am not so sure I will be as lucky as Stella and get mine back. After all, how exactly does one go about getting their mojo back? Does it require highlights, tanning beds, shopping sprees, Botox, and trips toContinueContinue reading “If I ever had a mojo, I think I’ve lost it”

I have the cutest kids!

Yesterday was one of “those” days. My dog was eating crayons, (the orange ones in case you were wondering); a bottle I gave Landon in an effort to streamline our dinner routine leaked all over the high chair, the floor, me, him, our dog; and when ripping a diaper from my upright two-year old anxiouslyContinueContinue reading “I have the cutest kids!”

Showers and Shepherds

Going to a baby shower when you have a two year old and an eight month old is kinda like going to a wedding after you’ve been married a few years. “Congratulations!” you say in your best and most sincere tone, while thinking in your head “Good luck, hold on tight, you are in forContinueContinue reading “Showers and Shepherds”
