Impending: Mothering During the Tween and Teen Years {hold me}
Pin itOr continues. The drama. I thought the drama of a 2 year old. Or 3 year old. Or even a 4 year old was all a grown woman could bear. BUT I WAS WRONG. In my home, we are teetering on the edge of teen-dom and in the thick of tweendom, and HAVE MERCY [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday (a vlog): My girl…
Pin itLucy. She cracks me up. She keeps me laughing. She also keeps me on my toes. One day last week I took a shower (I didn’t take a shower ONLY 1 day last week, but whatever…). When I came out I found wrapping and printer paper across the living room… crayons and glue sticks… [...]
Family Getaway to Orlando: I don’t know where to begin!
Pin itI’m serious. I came home with over 750 pictures and 5 days-worth of awesome memories. It’s been a long time since my family of 5 has been able to escape for more than one night, and to something outside of family-related visits. It was a blessing and a gift. The kids did great and [...]

A paternity test?
Pin itI’ve been feeling not-normal-ish lately. Some not-normal-ish has been reminiscent of times when I have had a bun in the oven ifyaknowwhatimean. A physical manifestation or two… An intense craving for pickled things. Seriously. I nearly tore my pantry apart looking for pickles or pickled jalepenos… I even pulled out vinegar (but put it [...]

Now I can check “Fashion Show” off my life list.
Pin itWell, if I HAD a life list. You know what’s cool about not having a life list, when you finally DO make one – a bunch of stuff can be checked off. I think one of the things I will definitely put on my life list will be “make a life list”. That way, [...]
Apple apple?
Pin itDo you see that? No… it’s not Elvis… It’s an apple… ON an apple. Lucy was snacking on an apple and she squeals, “MOM! It’s an apple!” I was all, “Yep. You went to get an apple and you got an apple.” In my mind I was thinking, “Dear mercy, we should have named [...]
Lettuce Wraps: I had you at “lettuce”…
Pin itActually, I am fairly certain I did not have you at “lettuce”, but “Lettuce Wraps” as a title leaves me wanting, so I threw that extra part in there. You’re welcome. But I did make Lettuce Wraps for dinner. TURKEY Lettuce Wraps. That’s right…. TURKEY. *bom chicka wow WOW* I came across a recipe [...]

Pin itLast month Kenmore asked for my biggest household challenge — which is TIME. This month, I’m sharing my Genius Tip on how I deal with that challenge! Here’s my take on creating margins in one’s calendar in an effort to make time… or at least preserve a pinch of sanity: Kenmore is on the search [...]
