He’s not quite ready to ride a two-wheeler on his own but he’s pretty thrilled with himself. And despite the 95+ degree heat this week, he has begged Dad to take him outside to fix up his bike and pump up his tires and teach him how to ride his bike…… …..every waking minute. Linked…

Future Friendly with Tide and P&G
I do a LOT of laundry at my house. I was hoping that laundry would slow down after my babies grew up and stopped having twice-daily blow-outs, but I have been disappointed in that regard. Sadly, as kids get bigger, so do their clothes AND their messes. The laundry seems to keep growing, and so…
Mason Gets a New Jar
Mason the caterpillar emerged from it’s cocoon yesterday. Sadly, none of us were around to see him actually break through the cocoon, but there was a new moth in the jar and a hole in the cocoon, so we’re pretty sure that this is the new Mason: He was much cuter as a caterpillar. In…
Life is a Special Occasion – Win $500!
As much as I have yet to feel comfortable being the star of vlogs myself (I’m working on one for Monday right now….) I adore watching my favorite bloggers on Momversation.

Where’s Super Nanny When I Need Her?
I need help in the bed time department. You’d think that after more than 14 years of being a mom, I’d know how to get my kids to sleep. But somehow, bedtime is always a struggle in our house. Even if the kids are exhausted from a full day at school and play, bedtime rolls…
Birthday Party Madness! Wordless Wednesday
I will truly let the pictures speak for themselves today. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all over.
101 Things to do Before the End of Summer
Summer break starts in just a few weeks. I am in shock. My kids have attended summer camp the last few years and I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do with them all day when they are home for Summer vacation. I used to look forward to Summer and the extra time with…
