Love Letters to My Three Little Valentines

Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I thought it might a good time to write a little love note to each child. I’ve been really negative lately, so thought I would mix it up and share some happy thoughts. (Plus, I’m leaving all of my kids to go on an airplane, and for a morbid thought…if the […]

I’m Not A Housewife, I’m a Stay At Home Mom. There’s a Difference.

OK. I know that they mean the same thing. But, Housewife? Here’s what I picture when I hear that word. 50’s women wearing poodle skirts and pearls. Perfect houses. Stepford Wives. You get the idea. I certainly don’t picture me. (the frazzled mom roaming around the grocery store with two kids just trying to find […]

Uppers and Downers

Our days are full of ups and downs. One minute our child gives us an unsolicited hug or thank you and we feel on top of the world, and then the next minute, they are pooping in the bathtub. Am I right? This post is about sharing a few of my uppers and downers the […]

The Light of Day Can Erase the Temper Tantrum I Threw Last Night

I woke up this morning and one of my first thoughts while still lying in bed was, “Oh yeah. I wish I hand’t thrown that fit yesterday.” I was quickly consumed by the need to put my feet on the floor and start running. Church. Little people to get ready. Little people all dressed up […]

I Hate Feeding My Kids

This is not a good statement to make for several reasons. Please don’t call child protective services. I promise. I do feed them. But, I really do hate feeding my kids. It’s not that I’m negligent, or that I’m a bad Mom, or that they are malnourished, it’s just that feeding them really does annoy […]

The Battle of the Sexes In Our House Might Just End Next Weekend

I’m going to preface this post by saying: I love my husband I love my husband I love my husband I could write volumes on all the good he is and does on a daily basis. I could also write volumes on all the crap he pulls too. He is, after all a man. (Will […]

Do You Ever Send Your Kids To School Sick?

Maybe I’m going to get the bad mom of the year award (or perhaps the bad wife of the year award) for writing this, but I really want some feedback. Because there is a little debate going on in our house (hence the possibility that my husband gets really mad by this post), but here […]

“Mommy! I’m scared!” (My covers will keep me safe though)

*Don’t you love it when you delete an entire blog post? Ugh, now I’m going to attempt to re-write. Last night at around 4:30 am I hear my six year old say, “Mommy!” I leap out of bed in my usual panic mode and race into her room expecting to hear the dreaded, “I’m sick” […]

Before We Had Kids

I find myself saying the words every once in a while, “before we had kids…” I think of those 4 years we were married fondly now. They seem dreamy and perfect. Full of carefree days, peaceful dinners out, and lots of hopping in the car and doing something last minute. It makes me sad in […]
