It’s amazing how the paths of our lives change. Ten years ago, I couldn’t have imagined how my life would go. I started this journey thinking a few kids, hospitals for the birth, some general thoughts about breastfeeding, send them off to school, and then to college. I’m not quite to the college thing yet–my …

Thoughts on “kids’ birthday parties that will wow”
My middle boy is about to turn 4, and will have his party later today. It will consist of 4-5 guests, a craft, decorate your own cupcakes, pizza, and ice cream. Plus a back-up craft in case we get through the other too quickly. Then I saw an ad for a parenting magazine this morning, …

I’m sure I will miss this.
My children being little and in this very messy stage, that is. Right? I just cleaned my kitchen, including hand mopping the floor. Crazy, I know, but it really needed it! And since all three young boys are sleeping, it will last a few hours. Of course, I don’t anticipate it lasting long once any …

When you say no to something…
…you are saying yes to something else. This was something I read today, and it really hit home. I think sometimes I let things that I feel like need to be done get in the way of the things I want to focus on in my life; family, friends, myself! From now on, I want …

Snowy perspective
This past week, we have been hit with record snowfalls and basically locked in the house for almost a full week. The kids missed the full week of school! There were times when everyone together in the house felt like too much, but today, when my husband made it back out to work, and I …

Snowdays!
We got a record snowfall this weekend, and school and work is out for a while – until the area gets mostly shoveled out, at least. We are pretty stuck, with almost everything closed down for now. What to do? Luckily for me, my kids are into projects. The got the assignment to help with …

Quiet down, cobwebs
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ’til tomorrow, for babies grow up, I’ve learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs; dust, go to sleep. I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep. (Author unknown) It’s been a baby day today. What does that mean? It means that about the only thing I got done today …

A Mommy’s love…and cast-iron stomach
“They” say your body changes in ways you couldn’t imagine when you have kids. I have proof. Whenever someone proverbially tossed their cookies, I found myself at least gagging if not joining in. I’ve even worked in hospitals and still never quite got used to that. Until I became a Mommy, that is. These thoughts …

To blog…or not?
I started this blog today. It’s something I have been thinking about for a long time, but I am not sure I want to really do it. For one thing, when I post something, it’s out there forever. This definitely requires careful censoring and is more than a little intimidating. But I have just joined …
