In my house, music and fun are very important components to our days. We love to crank the music up and dance around while doing our chores, getting ready to go somewhere or just for fun. As Lincoln, who is now three, watches tv, I look for fun, educational and appealing shows. Shows have really [...]
Moments in time are captured in photos every single day. I love looking at photos, even when I don’t know anyone in them! Ever since we had Jada, ten years ago, I have wanted to get professional photos taken of us. It’s not that quick photo ops of our family aren’t as special but the [...]
Earlier in the week, I got a message on Facebook from a girl I went to church with when I was growing up. I haven’t talked to her in years other than maybe a comment here or there on Facebook. She wanted my cell phone number to call me to ask a question that would [...]
It has been 11 days since we started the intensive potty training. Lincoln has been in his undies ever since. For a few nights, he had diapers on at night in case he peed while sleeping. One night he requested “no night night diaper!” So I tried it. He woke up the next morning dry [...]
Jen has a post on her site about celebrating our talents and telling people what we are good at. She’s right, I have heard “Mom, look what I can do!” so many times with my kids that we now laugh when we hear that phrase. So, I will try to come up with seven talents [...]
I am scatterbrained so today, this post is full of scattered thoughts! Lucky you! My Foot: I have had a plantar wart on the bottom of my foot for months. When I went to the doctor a few months ago, it was just beginning and I wasn’t even sure what it was. The doctor said [...]
I went to the gym yesterday. I knew that I didn’t want to do a class since it has been so long since my last workout. I decided to just walk/jog on the treadmill. I put on the 5K loop and started walking. I walked half the 5K and started to jog. I still have [...]
I took a long time between having Chuckie and Lincoln…six years to be exact. I don’t remember all the tricks and procedures that worked the first or second time around. I have severe mommy brain so I just plain don’t remember. Lincoln turned three last week and in my mind, he would have been potty [...]
The trial run was a disaster. If you read my tweets on Twitter, you know that I have decided that the family I was sitting for yesterday is not the right fit for us. I don’t know how the parents feel about it but I know that on this end of it, we are going [...]
My kids are 10, 9 and three years old. In all their years, my children have only been babysat by family members and close friends that are close enough to be called family. The only exception was when Lincoln was in daycare for two weeks. We just always felt more comfortable having the kids with [...]
