If you’ve been reading my blog lately, then you know that I was away last week camping with my family – my husband, 4 kids (ages 9, 5, 2, and almost 1), and 2 dogs. Camping for the entire week with 4 little kids has its ups and downs; mostly ups. But one of the […]
The school year is winding down… my third-grader’s last day of third grade is today! When I was a kid, we always went to school into the month of June – never ended in May. Well, except senior year when we graduated on May 31 – but the seniors always finished early. I don’t understand

My 10 month old’s physical appearance is about to change dramatically. Well, first, let me start here – he’s been suffering from lethargy, crabbiness, diarrhea, and diaper rash lately. You seasoned parents out there know what I’m talking about – teething! Sure enough, the other day when we were playing and he was upside-down, I
I don’t know what’s happened to me lately. For over a year, I was pretty diligent about publishing my 5 blog posts per week, one for every weekday. Sometimes I did more, sometimes less, but rarely as few as I’ve been writing lately. I figured that if I were to lose enthusiasm for this blogging
Yesterday saw the official beginning of potty-training for our 2-year-old. She has used the potty a few times before, but now it’s official – we went out and bought the toddler sized potty. She was excited about using it and has done so twice yesterday and once today! I just worry about the time it

Make that 4 rats. We now have 4 pet rats. How did that happen, you ask? A bit of mistaken identity when they were picked out at the pet store resulted in rat babies? No, all 4 are male – I don’t think there’s any mistaking that. What happened is this… We got our two
Whew!!! It’s Sunday night – the finale of what just might be our busiest weekend ever! Friday night we stayed up late to tie up loose ends and organize our film shoot scheduled for Saturday. Christopher, our 9-month-old, has decided to start waking up in the middle of the night again, so despite our best

Our almost 5-year-old Sammie is the firecracker of the group. She likes to be the one to stir things up, and she sometimes has some crazy ideas. My mom sent me an email with the following video and a message: “I’m surprised Sammie hasn’t tried this.” I can’t imagine what those poor parents were going

I was musing today about something… Sometimes my son gets this look on his face where he looks more like a kid than a baby. He’s 9 months old, so he’s still very much a baby, but more frequently I can see on his face how he might look as a toddler. It’s hard to
