Spring is Here... right?!

The sun was shining super bright yesterday and spring is in the air. I know it is because after a long and quiet winter I can hear a bird outside my window this morning. And yesterday...…

Monday Morning on the Mommy Front

As if it were ever in question, it was most solidly confirmed last night that I am, in fact... a mom. I was planning to watch the Oscars. I always watch the Oscars, ever since.. well.. as far back as I can remember. For a person who, by my own admission, isn't really all that in to movies, I love me an awards show. The dresses, the speeches, the speculation. It's like watching an entire election in one night, with better clothes and less stress. After all, whether the Academy snubs Johnny Depp… Continue

PRayer Request

We interupt our regular scheduled blogging for a prayer request.

I do not know this family. But they are literaly all over my local news right now. It snowed again today, pretty badly for awhile. There was an accident, and apparently a pregnant mother was seriously injured and delivered her daughter prior to passing away. The news is reporting that the baby is in the NICU and fighting…

A Tale of a boy , soccer, and sensory issues.

There once was a little boy named Teague, who loved to run and kick the ball. He wanted to be a "soccer monster" just like his big brother, Samuel. The only thing is.. as much as he loves to run, and kick, and jump. Teague…

Medical Mystery Monday

That girl is causing me grief this Monday morning, so get your medical text mamas... we got a case of mystery diagnosis here. Are you ready Dr. House? Let's get started....

To begin with the uber skinny Molly eats, well... like a horse. She certainly out eats me on any given day, and yet she is getting skinnier. As in she has VISIBLY lost weight since even... Thanksgiving. No rhyme or reason to it. She is extremely…

PSA Against Baby Signs...

We've been on the baby signs band wagon since we were knee deep in speech therapy for Luke. We love baby signs, our kids have seemed to love baby signs, Charlotte has been a baby signing pro for months. (For those of you unfamiliar with baby signs its the process by which parents teach simple sings (as in sign language) to their infants and toddlers to produce better means of communicating with them beyond just crying)

Well yesterday I found the…

Three Things I love on Tuesday

1. Materne GoGo Squeez Applesauce on the Go! Seriously this may be my favorite to go snack ever. To put it simply, it's applesauce pouches complete with a screw off "Spout" so the kids can slurp it right out of the pouch, no spoon, bowl or mess needed. It's 100% natural fruit, seriously the… Continue

Long Weekend.. the catch up edition.

It's finally Monday but it's Martin Luther King Day which means Jason is off work, and most people we know are off school. Between illness, and snow days, and the holidays I don't think we've had a full week of work/school since Thanksgiving. As crazy as it sounds, I crave the routine -- ugh.

It was a long and very full weekend already, Saturday was Samuel's first basketball game-- cute but far, far to…

The Obligatory Resolution Post

It's January 1, 2011, so naturally I would be remiss not to have made a few resolutions. Jason and I have dubbed 2011 the year of change. This IS the year things are going to change, because the way things are just aren't working out anymore. The panic attacks are literally killing me. All that change is going to come at a price, and what that price is I can't even be… Continue
