Making Back to School Easy for Mom & Kids

Making Back to School Easy for Mom & Kids

My kidlets finally are going back in school.  You know how I am normally super sentimental about things like that?

How to be imperfect and love it!

How to be imperfect and love it!

I’m an expert at not being perfect. I’ve tried to be perfect in different areas of my life, and I always fail. Duh. Why, why, why do we expect perfection and then feel like losers when we fail at this unattainable trait?  Now this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t work hard, or try our best.  But we must accept our mistakes… Read More

The BRACES

Sweet Tween got a jaw expander today.  It’s an annoying metal thing in her mouth.  In 3 weeks (just in time for her birthday) she’ll get her braces and wear both together for a year or more.  She’s sputtering like Daffy Duck now and finding food hard to chew.  She informed me that her LIFE IS OVER. Little does she… Read More

Crazy Moving Mama

Crazy Moving Mama

So crazy moving mama came out today.  We got everything out of our old house and moved to our new one yesterday.  (Which by the way, we love our new little abode.  It’s darling!)

Moving . . .

Moving . . .

Having to move again is sucking the creativity right out of me! It’s hard to be creative and write something inspiring when the house is in disarray and boxes are everywhere. It’s hard to be creative when we are eating off paper plates every night and having pizza for the 3rd time this week. It’s hard to be creative when… Read More

WE NEED EACH OTHER

WE NEED EACH OTHER

Let me tell you why we need each other through this little story: My Park Days Story Before I moved to the West this past summer, I had lived in the South for 10 years.  I lived in the land of humidity, southern accents, hills carpeted with trees, grits, and people sweet as honey. One day, when Sweet Tween was… Read More

The Chocolate Milk Fib

The Chocolate Milk Fib

Baby Girl lied to me yesterday.  Okay, it was more like a fib (it seems to harsh to say that a sweet 5 year old is a liar).   We were having scrambled eggs for breakfast, something Baby Girl detests.  She’ll plug her nose and say, “Ewww! They stink!”.  But I make her at least eat some eggs, because I… Read More
