Well, it finally happened. With my son, it was only a matter of time. Today after lunch, he took my half full coffee cup off the table and poured it on my brand new couch (well, not brand new any more, but still, come on). I thought I was going to have a heart [...]
For the last several weeks I have been on the verge of literally tearing my hair out. My son, now 22 months, has been a total nightmare. Cute as the dickens, but a total nightmare. He wakes up in the morning grumpy and whines and complains and screams at me until it is time to [...]
Ok, Ok. I know. Here is another one of those recipes that came out of the what’s in the pantry moment, but surprisingly it is really warm and comfy and the kids could not get enough of it, so I thought I would share. I promise I cook more than these wacky on a whim [...]
A while back I was researching places to promote my blog and/or partner with and I came across a site called blogher.com, a community for women who blog.

Every mom is constantly trying to sneak more veggies into the kid’s diet, right? Well, my mother in law inspired me last time we visited her and the outcome was this delicious mini meatball recipe that my kids love and is full of veggie goodness. I think they are great too and usually make myself [...]
I just love this photo. It makes my heart melt a little to think about these kids growing up vacationing together. Excuse my sappiness, but this is what it is all about, building those unforgettable memories with others you truly care about.
I know, I know, he’s only 18 months old, but it was still very exciting. After the whole poop in the tub incident, I have been watching Ian for signs that he may need to go potty while he is in the tub. Well, he grabs himself, of course. So a couple of times while [...]
With one cutting canine teeth and the other finally realizing that her little brother is sticking around and will continue to take attention away from her, I find myself relishing the cute things they do.
