Watch Me Mommy

Our boys love to talk to us, some of them more (ok, MUCH more) than others. Today as I was checking email my little Bug came up and stood right next to me. Bug: “Mommy look.” Me: “uh huh sweetie” (not really paying attention) Bug: “Watch me Mommy, watch me” (in his happy little voice) [...]

As The Summer Spins

Oh the neglectfulness!! I guarantee you all that I’m still here but I have truly just been trying to enjoy the summer with my kids right now. There has been some sickness thrown in this last few weeks and as all moms know that definitely puts us behind a bit. I’m currently struggling a bit [...]

It’s Raining It’s Pouring

Recently during lunchtime the Twinkies started singing this age old classic rhyme. It was so cute. They sing all the time and I am forever stopping to either listen or join in throughout the day. It’s the little things like this that are so fun! Trying to enjoy all those moments can be difficult in [...]

In the Middle of the Night

You never know when it’s gonna strike. The middle of the night stomach bug is likely to rear it’s ugly head when you least expect it. Around here that’s definitely the case. we always feel fortunate if only one child ends up sick in the night once it starts. Doubly fortunate if they actually didn’t [...]

Say What? A Moment with Monkey

Saturday the boys were outside playing and Monkey comes marching to the house and announces… “You know it’s raining because it’s dripping from the sky” When he was told to go outside and play some more while he still had the chance, he replied… “Well, the sky’s leaking on my head” I love it!

A Mother’s Challenge

When I had all boys it honestly never occured to me that some of them might be what I have come to refer to as “talkaholics”.  After all, girls are supposed to have the need to use a lot more words than boys each day.  I have found however that this is not the case [...]

Momness

If you have children that are school age, there’s a very good possibility that you wore green yesterday.  Maybe you even had to rummage through several drawers to find something green. And maybe, just maybe, when you did find something green it was a shirt that you don’t mind hanging around the house in but [...]

The Little Things

Gone are the days where I carefully plan and schedule posts. Now I simply blog as I feel inspired by life. I have decided there is a time and a place for both. I know I’m not alone as a mom who finds that the most joy can be brought about by the littlest things [...]

Haircut Heathens

twinkiehaircuts

The twins are quickly approaching age 4 and their latest love, especially Bug is to cut their hair. Bug did this twice within about a month and I did what I could with his hair buzz cutting it and trying to still keep it looking cute. Then about 2 weeks ago Monkey decided to do [...]

Silly Kid

The conversations with the Twinks never cease to amaze me. Waking up yesterday to Bugs insisting that everyone “Rise and Shine” as he turns on every light was mildly amusing. Followed on his heels by Monkey announcing, “I don’t get an awwowance, and I don’t have a job!” *big Monkey sigh* To which I replied, [...]
