Traveling with 3 kids sucks. Especially flying. But, at least we didn’t drive for 12 hours with them. That’s worse. For sure. We are in California for my husband’s grandfather’s funeral. So, it is a sad occasion. But, that is for another post. Our two flights out here went off without a hitch. That is […]
The First Eye Roll From My Daughter and My 4 Year Old Still Naps
Today, I got my first eye roll from my 6 1/2 year old daughter. Really? Is it starting already? I was trying to convince my son who just turned 4 that he needed to lay down for a nap. He is definitely done with naps. I’m not. I have always made my kids nap for […]
Four is Fantastic
My sweet boy, Kyle turned 4 yesterday. I was thinking about his birth. His was the easiest out of all 3 of my kids. He came at the perfect time of day (around 9pm) and he was a week early (thank you). But, life since he came has never been the same since. I joke […]
Motherhood Quotes That Will Help You Feel Less Alone
The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice. – Peggy O’Mara Let’s analyze this for a second. Why do seemingly innocent motherhood quotes like this make me anxious? Anyone else feel this way? Motherhood quotes usually get under my skin just a little bit. That is, unless they’re honest. I saw this […]
The Playroom: Don’t worry, my 6 year old is babysitting
I’ve noticed that with my kids in general, when they are playing, it is best to try and not let them see you checking on them. Because, eye contact makes them realize. “Oh yeah, there’s Mom. Now it’s time to whine and beg for stuff”. So, I try to be sneaky. And, just crack the […]
The Anxious Mormon Mom
I’ve been trying to decide what I want to do with this blog now that I have switched it to wordpress. I love blogging about my kids, and sharing pictures with friends and family (how this blog got started in the first place), but at the same time, I sometimes want a little more. I […]
The perfect toy
I spent 30 minutes working out today. Success! Was trying the whole time to keep the baby happy while I worked out. Pausing every few minutes to throw another toy at him. Then, I sat down when I was done, and found the perfect toy that he proceeded to play with for 20 minutes without […]
Now, That’s a LOT of snow!
So, I discovered something about myself with this monster snow storm we got over the last 48 hours. I like shoveling it. Weird. Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up my whole life having to do it. I mean, as a kid in TX, there was no imagining that this much snow existed in someone’s […]
Rite of Passage to motherhood #4: Smashing your kid’s fingers in the car door
Yesterday, I smashed my poor Kyle’s fingers in the car door. Ever since we got our car (a mini mini van…a Mazda 5, which was our compromise car so we would not have to get a REAL mini van) I have been terrified that this would happen. There is just something scarier about sliding doors […]
