Ok, so I decided I wanted to learn to make a mesh wreath. The problem is, as usual, it was night time, I didn’t have the right materials, and of coarse, I wanted to do it right then. I found what I had laying around the house- a wire coat hanger, some gold christmas mesh,…
This morning, Walker wanted pancakes and Matthew wanted eggs. I had no energy to stand at the stove, or the desire to dirty up a million dishes, so I pulled out the muffin pans. I mixed up some pancake mix using the “just add water” box of funfetti in the fridge, lined the muffin…
As I was yelling at my toddlers this morning, I couldn’t help but reflect back to the other night when my oldest, Nick, was sitting on the couch with his girlfriend. He’s 19, and has had several girlfriends throughout the years, but never mentioned a future with any of them…until Erika. Don’t get me wrong.…
I sit on the couch staring blankly at the wall. What’s wrong with me? James has already asked me 20 times, and the only answer I can come up with is “nothing.” It’s not “nothing”, but I just don’t know. There’s a strange feeling in my stomach. I know that I’ve felt it before, but…
Most people get woken up by their toddlers shaking them, slapping them, or even bouncing on their heads. Not me. I got woken up this morning by Walker pouring the cup of coffee that James left on the counter on my face. I dreamed I was drowning and woke up in a panic. His mission…
Yesterday was the rainiest day we’ve had in a while. It was also my day off with all 3 boys. We got up, ate breakfast, and as they played, I thought I’d sneak into the bathroom for a quick bath. That ended with 2 boys in the tub with me- one with his socks still…
I think every mother or father has heard the saying, “You’re gonna miss this when they are grown.” It doesnt matter if you’re telling them about having to dig an embedded Lego out of your foot, it seems as though as a parent, if you dare complain, someone inevitably tells you that you’re gonna miss…
Last weekend, I was feeling crafty. I decided that I NEEDED an American flag pallet over the entry way into my dining room. I’ve seen several, and I’ve always wanted to make one. James had a couple of pallets in the garage, and we had paint, so we went to work. (Yes, we- James is…
Can I just talk about toys really quick? Yes, toys. Those things that you spend a million dollars on through out the year, only to collect the fragments of remaining parts in a fit of rage and slam them in a trash bag after breaking your foot one to many times just a few months…
Walker has been interested in using the potty for a while, so through out the day, I take his pants and diaper off and we sit on the potty and he ALWAYS goes with no issue. The problem is that he wont tell me when he has to go. This week, I decided to try…
