Mommy Blues
Attitude is a funny thing, especially when the person serving it to you relies on you for everything. So if they decide to spit on your pillow and then need their butt wiped, you're at their mercy. My sweet, wants to cuddle, eager to please three-year-old is developing a serious case of the nasties lately. … Continue reading Mommy Blues
Oops! The Elf
With our living space being so open and the boys being too young to know not to touch the elf, our creativity is a little limited when it comes to his day to day activities. Thankfully I have a collection of fellow mommies with toddlers who post their ideas to Facebook and Insta for me … Continue reading Oops! The Elf
Well, You Broke It
Boys, am I right? Right now my two and three-year-old are wrestling by my feet on the couch, action figures are all over the table and my coffee is getting cold. The wrestling has turned into my two-year-old sitting on his brothers head. I refuse to intervene anymore unless someone cries. Motherhood. Little boys are … Continue reading Well, You Broke It
Helicoptermom
The helicoptermom. She can't leave her kids be. She's always lurking, lingering, watching them, playing along on the playground. What an absolute--ly good mother. I just realized recently how much the term "helicopter parent" infuriates me. Are we really at a point in society where we shame parents for paying attention and staying involved?

It was about a week ago when our dish soap mysteriously disappeared and my husband (yes, that happened in … Continue reading Little Issues
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
