Back-to-School: What do moms do with all their “free” time? [vlog]
Pin itNow that all the spawn are in school – all day… I have been asked, “So whatcha gonna do with all that free time?” I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do… In fact, it seems I have had so much time… I have become a regular photographer and master of text-on-photo! Disclosure: My son’s [...]
The First Day of School: Like I wouldn’t write about it.
Pin itI know, I know… the internet is abuzz with “the first day of school” updates. You have probably had your fill. But I just feel I would be remiss if I didn’t join in on all the bragging news-sharing. I mean… my kids. They are CUUUUTE. You try and not post about such cuteness. [...]

Reflective Mama {hold me}
Pin itOh people. Can I just be real for a minute? Or lots of minutes. Say, 800 words or so… I am having a hard time with this whole “kids growing up” thing. WHO KNEW? Isn’t this what we want? Since my oldest was born… I have been waiting for the independence. I have been [...]
Dare I Tell You I Left My Kid(s) Home Alone?
Pin itI guess I just did. I left my older 2 home while I took Young Lucy to a birthday party… to the home of adults I had not met. I had to go. This is what mothers do. We do not drop our kids off at the homes of strangers. Except I did. It had [...]
In which I take children to the carwash and the liquor store. But the liquor store gives stickers.
Pin itMay I begin with an off-topic digression? I never know if I should capitalize my post titles. It’s kinda not something I do well, so I kind-of just don’t. I kinda feel like if I do, I am caving to “the man”. Not that I even know who “the man” is. I supposed “the [...]
Introduce Vegetable Before Fruits: Mom to Mom-to-Be
Pin itI ran into the coffee shop. Rather, I was RUN into the coffee shop. By my children. CAFFEINATE OR DIE… caffeinate or die, friends. I paid for my triple grande iced white chocolate mocha – easy on the white chocolate. No whip. *Side note: I only like white chocolate mochas that are made with [...]

The Rock of FAIL [video]
Pin itSO. There’s this rock at my kids’ school. This is not the rock. But it’s a rock, so… The rock at school is the PERFECT size for climbing, sliding… and also the PERFECT size for getting in trouble. You see… this climbing rock/slide rock is placed teasingly in the welcome/front/pick-up area of the school. [...]

Boys.
Pin itI had to go run an errand. We needed more milk. It was 6:45. At night. And I had pancakes to make for dinner. They don’t call me Jenny On the Spot for nothin’… *dead silence* Aaanywho… The kids stayed home. Dad was home. Don’t judge. Then I came back. With milk. But not [...]
There really is a creative (mad?) genius inside.
Pin itI will often tell people I am not creative. I am a WAY better copy cat. *meow* I would say I am far more CAPABLE than CREATIVE. And I am O.K. with that. I can do just about anything… I just need someone to tell what it is I will be doing. EXCEPT FOR YESTERDAY Y’ALLS! My [...]
No stoppin’ her.
Pin it Behind those blue eyes live a mind and heart of great determination. Power to do good. Power to do NOT good. Power to do just about anything she sets her mind to. I adore this about my little girl. And also fear it. We hit the local pool recently. In order for Lucy to [...]
