These were so much fun and really easy! ♥ Remember those old wooden trucks and blocks that were practically in every elementary classroom throughout the 90s and early 2000s? They're basically just 2x4's cut into different shapes and sizes. Well, we happened to have a small collection of them at home and unfortunately (because my … Continue reading Christmas Decorations

DIY Baby Wipes *Update*
Three years ago I was so excited to share how I make my homemade baby wipes with all of you and despite the occasional "oops, we've run out of paper towels," it's been really easy to stick with making them all this time. The general concept has been the same but there have been a couple … Continue reading DIY Baby Wipes *Update*
The Baby Tipped His Highchair
My two younger boys have a tendency to rock in their seats, whether it be an actual rocking chair, on the couch or in their highchair. Normally I can tolerate it, or they will stop when the food gets to the table, but as we have learned it's not necessarily the safest of habits to … Continue reading The Baby Tipped His Highchair
Persuasive Media
Today has been a busy day. Work, dentist, grocery store, house chores and Survivor is on which means I forgot to write until now. I am thankful for all media that conveys a positive message. Whether it's a happy video of an animal sanctuary on Facebook or an old movie that has wholesome content, I … Continue reading Persuasive Media
My Monkeys
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, one wild family of five. Let me just tell you, having three little boys (five and under) is like living in the center of a category five hurricane. You are in the eye of the storm, safe for the most part, but everything around … Continue reading My Monkeys
Little Toy Hospital
As my little ones grow so does the number of toy casualties around our house. Most toys are a no brainer: cracked, torn and into the trash, but there are a select few that the kids won't let go of. Currently our house is home to a no-ears, three legged stuffed giraffe (a best friend … Continue reading Little Toy Hospital
Stop Buying Diaper Pail Refills
While some parents view diaper pails as an unnecessary expense, I have gotten more than my fair share of use out of ours. Obviously there are other options for diaper disposal like walking each diaper outside to the bin, wrapping them individually in old plastic market bags or just tossing them straight into the can … Continue reading Stop Buying Diaper Pail Refills
Backyard Coffee
Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone! A nearly empty coffee mug, stormy skies and three little boys covered head to toe in dirt. That is my day so far. With the boys playing so loud inside the house, it seemed like a good idea to get them out for a bit of fresh air. … Continue reading Backyard Coffee
Miracle Bandaids
For the first time in a long time, my five year old got a cut at home that required a bandaid, or so I was told because I haven't actually looked at it myself. In fact, it's likely that he won't let the bandaid be removed for another three days or more unless it falls … Continue reading Miracle Bandaids
If You Don’t Give A Mom Her Coffee
Coffee and I have a very serious relationship and it always used to come first, but these days it's just not the same. I wish I could say that "nothing happens before coffee" applied in my house, but it simply doesn't. If you're a parent then I'm sure you can relate. This morning stripping down … Continue reading If You Don’t Give A Mom Her Coffee
