Toddler life

It was two weeks after my mother passed away. I was a mess. I was listening to her phone messages over and over, and I was so very sad. In two weeks my twins and my oldest would have their birthday. I did not want to party.and I knew they…

My oldest, who is only four as I write this, is finishing his second session of classes with Coach Matt from the company, Sportball. He was just three when he started and he absolutely loved it. The first day I took him, his eyes lit up. And to be honest, so did mine!

It’s here, mamas. There’s no turning back now. Back. To. School. Whether you had an early start or a late one, we’re all in it now, and the routine of scheduled days is upon us. How’s it going for you so far? Did you fill out all your slips? Sign…

As a first post after a very challenging time in our little family’s life, I couldn’t be happier to write about a great company and fun launch. Kinder has teamed up with Monsters University to introduce for the first time (ever!) 100% licensed toys in their Kinder eggs.

This time of year always feels a little tedious to me. Because of the budget of the holidays, it’s never a great time to go shopping for anything, even though it would be nice to. And because it is SO cold out, the idea of spending money on spring clothes is like a sick joke. Spring is coming, right? Maybe if we say it enough times, it will come faster!

Do you ever look at your children’s artwork and think “this looks pretty much like a Picasso drawing that would go for millions”?

At our house, there is no shortage of stuffed animals. My little ones refer to them as “stuffies”. Sometimes, I wish I could hide them all because they just take over the home! But alas, I remember being a little one too.

Think you can leave a child in this small pool? You are wrong.

It takes a second.

I had to write this down the moment my little one went to sleep because it was too cute and funny and pensive all at the same time. And after I read it back, I thought you might get a kick out of it too. Do you have a worrier? How do you handle their concerns?

Sometimes you have to just laugh…or you will cry.

This Saturday when I left my home to run a quick errand, I had no idea that this was going to be waiting for me when I returned.
