Being home alone sounds great doesn’t it? Are you a mom that is always home alone with the kids and dreams of having time to yourself? I think when we give so much of our energy every day to our family and our home, it gets very draining and we start to dream about the [...]
Our three year old twins, Dayn and Lyan, were listening to their older brothers talk about Easter and the Easter Bunny coming to our house. Because of the age differences, we have a couple that still believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny and a couple that play along for their younger siblings. I could [...]
If you haven’t figured it out yet, I have six boys. Right now, they range in age from 12 down to 3. My older three boys are at the age where they are shying away from hugs. I’m a mom and I like to give my boys hugs! Desperate times call for desperate measures! We have twin boys. They are now 3 years old and we are determined to have them potty trained by the time they reach college. Because there are two needing to be potty trained, we have two potty chairs. We don’t usually get two of everything, but when one has to sit on the potty, [...]

It is my understanding that in April, it will be applied to all channels and everyone will then have the new design. I recently chose to opt in and give this new layout a try.

If you don’t impress the kids, well they send goo down a chute on the unsuspecting contestant! From [...] Tomorrow we take Lyndan in to visit his neurosurgeon to review his MRI images and assess his progress since his brain surgery in March. For those of you that don’t know, Lyndan was diagnosed with a “Cavernoma” at his brain stem at the end of February 2012. We caught this after he experienced a sharp [...]
I am surprised by the people who think it isn’t right for parents to leave their kids behind with their grandparents while their parents go on a vacation together. People are of the belief that once you have kids, you shouldn’t do anything away from your children, or at least don’t do anything big without [...]
Today I needed to gather a couple of pictures together for Dannan to take to kindergarten. His teacher had sent home a paper bag along with a note that read how his class was doing a project called “Uniquely Me” which required pictures of them as a baby, toddler and today. I quickly realized that [...]
