My three year old is a hoarder. There it is. I said it. It’s out there. This little man goes through our house creating piles of stuff. He calls them towers. It’s sweet. It’s also a pile of toys. It’s something that’s only started since he’s been three. Any toy that opens, needs to have […] Read more…

I Want an Old School Easter
Socks with ruffles. Check. Pretty dress. Check. Matching purse and hat. Check. Patent leather shoes. Double check. This is what Easter looked like for me. It was all about the Easter speech in church, the Easter basket treats and the clothes. That was the day I got to break out of my usual ponytails and […] Read more…
Parenting 101: Stalling Tactics
Our son is “crazy about the Lion King”. Those are his words. Before he’d ever seen the movie, we’d read the book to him over and over again. So much so that he could be heard reciting the story to himself as he walked around the house. He LOVES that story. Once he saw the […] Read more…
There are NO Words…
Like everyone else, Friday shifted things for me, once again. Children who I’ve never met have made an impact on my life that won’t soon be forgotten.

The Weekend Routine
My weekends have become pretty predictable. Well, at least a little. Our weekends revolve around our son’s social calendar. Every weekend he’s got a birthday party to go to. Usually, my husband is his partner in party crime. I’m always running behind trying to get myself and the little princess ready so we don’t make […] Read more…
Am I Raising an Attorney?
When I would hear people complain about the “questions” stage with their kids, I thought they were being a bit “Debbie Downer” about it all. I mean, so what you hear the word “why” a million times a day. It’s how our kids learn, right? Right??!?!?! In the beginning of my son’s “questions” phase, I […] Read more…
Nothing But Love
I’m seven weeks in and being a mommy of two is not what I expected. To say I was worried would be an understatement. The further along my pregnancy went, the more I was absolutely terrified that my son would have a problem with his unborn sister. I was worried that he would feel replaced. […] Read more…
Count Your Coins
Source What’s it called when you stay somewhere and everything you eat, drink and use is magically already paid for? Oh yes, all inclusive!!! We’ve decided that must be what life looks like to our son. He’s not fully understanding the concept of paying for things. He doesn’t like to hand over whatever new item […] Read more…
