Last night, Marc was out with his friends, playing D&D;, and I was home with the kids. I kept Glennys overnight and both girls were sound asleep. Sam had napped for three and a half hours, and was just wide awake and adorable about it. He spent forty five minutes playing on the living room …

This was the theme of my summers growing up (I hated being shoved outside, and quickly learned that offering to do the dishes or help out vacuuming would get me out of it – which is how I ended up doing the vast majority of kid chores in my household – the other three ran …

I love summer vacation. I mean, who doesn’t, right? And it’s just as much fun when it’s your kids having the break. We all slept a little later this morning, and I really do like having Jess home. I totally should have homeschooled, because I bet we both would have loved it. She’s signed up …

I just cut thirty tiny hearts with a cookie cutter out of Jessie’s peanut butter sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch at school. And while it made sense before I started it, mid-way thru, I started to wonder if perhaps I was one of those scary moms who’s obsessive about her children’s happiness. But what I can …

Sam will be three in a matter of weeks (amazing to me, my baby is going to be THREE) and he’s shown NO indication that he wants to stop nursing. And I’m perplexed and unsure as to how to proceed. I want very much to stop nursing. I’m really ready to move on – I’d …

Anyone have a good hermit recipe? I found one on-line and made some odd crunchy cake type things. They aren’t good 🙁 All is lovely here – kids are healthy and well, Marc is happy and content… not much going on, just a rainy, lazy Thursday 🙂

Help me out here, because I’m honestly a bit baffled. My husband is literally a genius, his IQ is off the chart. He also graced with a lot of common sense and has a been a parent for over ten years. So why can’t he figure out how to put the kids to bed by …

Sam is now insisting on wearing all of his t-shirts with stuff on the front backwards. All of them. For days now. When questioned, he’ll tell you that his dinosaur, or Spiderman, or dump trucks, whatever is on the front of the shirt, is private. But you know that people are really just thinking that …

Loving life this morning – all is sunshiney wonderful in my world. Hot cup of coffee, house relatively, reasonably clean, two cheerful toddlers watching Disney and I’m feeling pretty good about the rest of the day. I’m almost officially decided on Chana Eliana as a Hebrew name. I love, love, love the name Eliana and …
