Everybody knows that kids say the darndest things – there was even a tv show or two about the subject. If you go back and watch the Art Linkletter version, you can see him coaching the kids and moving his lips for the kids to see what they were supposed to say. I don’t know […]
Ok, I know it might seem weird, especially to those of you who aren’t parents. But in my family, we are celebrating a major milestone – 3-year-old Disney is officially potty-trained!!! In lieu of this triumphant moment (congrats to Disney but let’s face it, one of the best parts about this is that we only

Wow – that last post was such a downer that I decided to write a little follow-up – I’m feeling better! I took forever in the shower, and my son is still napping! And the two girls have been playing together… funny how the house calms down when a certain little Kindergartner is at school.
My husband works from 9:30 to 5 on weekdays, which leaves me the job of holding down the fort. My kids are generally good kids, and they are adorable, so it should be a fun job. But I’m not having fun today. I’ve had 3 kids crying literally constantly today from 9-12:30. Taylor is 10,

I am glad to be home. I’ve got a nice warm cup of coffee next to me as I sit at my computer… but don’t let my facade of relaxation fool you. I’ve already changed 3 dirty diapers and broken up 4 squabbles in the past hour since I’ve been home, with more of both

I was thinking about our family’s 2009 holiday season, now come and almost gone already, and I was envisioning words to describe this wonderful season, despite the fact that this year ours was peppered with unpleasant familial dramatics. But about a week ago, I made what was a conscious decision to pull myself up from
