I LOVE Chick-Fil-A. I could go on and on about how family friendly they are, how good their food is, how I think Truitt Cathy is such a great example of a godly businessman… but I will save my love affair with Chick-Fil-A, the inventors of the chicken sandwich, for another post, or two…
Friday was [...]

Since my son turned 4 I no longer require him to nap every day. But to keep my sanity ensure that he has some down time, I do require him to have a quiet, rest time in his room while his sisters are napping. Most of the time he ends up falling asleep. Other times, [...]

Time for another Sincerley Fro’ Me To You Post. Since my baby turns one this month, I thought I’d share a pregnancy anecdote with you.
In January of last year my good friend told me she was pregnant with her third child. Her oldest son is 10 months younger than my son, and the two [...]

I have a problem. Despite my best intentions, I seem incapable of returning library books on time. Upon returning home from the library, my husband often asks, “So, how much are these going to cost us?” It seems our library visits are taking a dramatic turn for the worst.

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?"

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 [...]

I was cooking dinner last week, when the kids called out from the toy box,
“Mom, don’t you want to get us out and play with us?”

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 [...]
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.
