I was shopping at BJ’s the other day with the kids when we passed the jewelry counter.
My son asked, "Why is there jewelry at BJ’s?"
I responded, "So people can buy it."
He then said, "Yea… I guess if they were getting married and didn’t have a ring they could come here."
Hmmm…. clearly this Mommy doesn’t wear [...]

When my oldest daughter was born my son wanted to get her this musical turtle he saw at Target for her crib. Every time we went to Target he would push the buttons to make it play music and he would ask if he could get it for his sister. We didn’t think [...]

Kids like buttons. At least ours do. Our son was the first addict. We could keep him happy quiet for long periods of time by giving him the TV remote (with the TV off) and letting him just pound away. Him being the first, we were always careful when he got the phone. Wouldn’t want [...]

My son really took an interest in golfing this weekend while watching my husband follow the U.S. Open. My husband rarely golfs but does have a set of clubs and after very persistent requests, my husband let my son use his clubs in the back yard. He taught him the different types [...]

The other morning I came around the corner to find my 4 year old son unscrewing the screw from the switch plate of our light. He had gotten his chair, pulled it up to the light switch, found the right size Phillips screw driver, and had gotten the screw mostly off. I noticed [...]

"Ew, gross!" "I don’t like it!" How many of you have had this response after working hard to prepare a new dish for you family? It can be quite frustrating especially if you know they’ll like it b/c they like every single one of the ingredients in it or worse yet, [...]

I love my son’s imagination! He is at age where I wish I could just freeze time. He cracks us with his antics these days. Check out last week’s comedy routines.
My son was playing on the deck when I suddenly heard him say, “Help Mom, I’m stuck.” I turned around to see this.
As I got [...]

It was a big day for me. I know your thinking, yes, we know already, you got your power back. And yes I did, but that is not what I am referring to. I pulled into the parking lot of Target (which is 20 min away) with all 3 kids, at 8:30 [...]

We lost power at about 4pm on Wednesday. Losing power really wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t mean that I had to loose water too. It makes you realize how often you run to the sink to clean up messes the kids leave in their wake. the kids have been handling it really well. [...]
My roles as wife, homemaker and mother of 3 feel much like a circus with 3 rings constantly vying for my attention. Life is often chaotic but I'm loving every minute and wouldn't want it any other way. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show. I won't let you miss a thing.
