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 husband and I were talking in the kitchen when my son popped in and dropped a bomb on us. We appreciate his upfront honesty but we were caught totally off guard.
We’re trying hard to take deal with this rationally, but what parents wouldn’t be devastated.

My son is very smart (every mother says this about her children so I might as well enjoy my entitlement). He is only 4 but he has always had a knack for asking good questions and is satisfied by only believable answers. We pride ourselves on honesty so that “believable answer” always contains [...]

This afternoon my son asked if he could, “have some Charlie Brown candy”. It took me a few minutes to figure out what he meant.
“Peanuts?” I asked.

Our middle child really likes to put things in order. Before she goes to bed at night she puts each of her stuffed animals in a straight row beside her pillow. I’ve noticed recently that she seems to gravitate towards put things things into straight lines. When she plays with blocks she [...]
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.
