Tonight I am spending an unexpected second night at my sister’s house because being here has been a breath of fresh air at the end of a summer gone stale. We’ve had a good summer, full of fun trips, relaxing afternoons at the pool, and mornings sleeping in. But so many hours with so many…
My Coke Rewards for Schools
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of My Coke Rewards for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Back to school time already?! It’s officially August now, which means that the count-down to Back-to-School is in full swing. We are lucky to go to one of the best elementary schools in the…
Tips for a Positive Work-at-Home Summer with Kids
Summer as a work-at-home mom Summer time can be hard for two work at home parents, but I have been pleased with all that we’ve been able to fit in as a family. Camping trips, visits to and from family, and lots of afternoons at the pool… Yesterday, I packed the kids up in the…
Post-Toddler Necessities – My Go-To List and HUGE Giveaway!
I remember when KitKat, my oldest, was a baby. I couldn’t wait for her to get bigger and be able to interact with me and other kids, walk without being held, and feed herself (among many other wishes and desires). She grew up way too fast, and soon she was out of the toddler years…
Overheard at the Park
I overheard this conversation at the park last week, came home, and immediately wrote down as much as I could remember. It was too entertaining (shock value!) to forget. 6 year old boy: “You took my girlfriend away from me!” 6 year old girl: “No I did NOT! She’s my friend. I didn’t do anything…
Good Mornings with #GoodNites
When my kids were babies, they spent the early morning hours in bed with me. Sharing the bed with my little ones was my last effort to get in a few extra hours of sleep. I desperately needed that extra sleep. My kids would be bumped out of the coveted spot in my bed when…

Coming to Terms With My Son’s Bedwetting
Potty Trained! The day that I declared AJ fully potty trained was a happy one. Reese had just recently stopped wetting the bed at night just 2 months before, and since my first three kids had stayed dry at night as soon as they day-time trained, I figured that AJ would follow the majority. I’m…
Family Movie Night Returns
My son once asked me if TVs were invented when I was a kid. Yes, son, in fact TVs have been around much longer than Mom. I actually watched quite a bit of TV when I was growing up (a fact that my kids have a hard time accepting, since we currently don’t have TV…
Meaningful Mornings
Yesterday morning, as I hurriedly walked the kids to school, AJ said to me, “Mom, you’re mean.” It was a bad morning. One of those rush-around-the-house trying to find socks, homework, and hair brushes kinds of mornings. I was sternly telling AJ that he needed to speed up the pace, and he (of course) interpreted…
