I Expect That from WHO?
Recently, we have been working with my daughter on trying to get her to stop sucking her thumb. She is using a thumb guard that is really helping, but like any bad habit, it has been hard for her. The other day I told Robynn that my worst habit is eating late at night. ItContinue reading “I Expect That from WHO?”
When You Know Your Family is Complete
I’ve had friends tell me “You’ll just know when you are finished wanting to have more babies.” It seemed some vague to me…you’ll just know. How will I know? Will the two kids I already have drive me to the point of insanity one day and the image of a newborn swaddled in a receivingContinue reading “When You Know Your Family is Complete”

You can either be miserable about it or…
Accept it and move on. Easier said than done, isn’t it?! I was actually sitting here answering a bunch of emails this afternoon as I could hear a bunch of gravel trucks driving back and forth on our gravel road. Now, you must understand that where we use to live, we were lucky to getContinue reading “You can either be miserable about it or…”
Valentine’s Day Handprint Crafts
Maybe it’s the first grade teacher in me, or maybe it is just simply the Mommy in me trying to bottle every minute of my kids being LiTtLe, but I am hooked on handprint crafts!

Feeling Like A Failure
Sunday morning I made my family breakfast. To me, I was going “all out” as I made the kids orange juice from a frozen can and threw together a quick and easy breakfast casserole.
