There is something wonderful about family members having babies. I can almost envision the joy I am going to feel once I become a grandma. I loved my babies. I LOVED the baby stage. But babies are WORK. Nieces, on the other hand, are just plain FUN. I just drove home from another whirlwind-of-a-summer-trip to…
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…
Brother Bonding Time – Wordless Wednesday #linky
This morning, while I was working on my computer, the boys climbed on my bed, pulled out the laptop, and bonded over JumpStart. These photos are untouched, straight out of my camera. When I saw the boys sitting on my bed with the morning sunlight coming in through the window, I thought of this week’s…
My Ovaltine Awesome Wholesome Backyard Party
This summer has been full of fun family activities, but until last week we really hadn’t spent much time with friends. (I know–weird!!) My kids seem to be enjoying the family time, and I am soaking it in. Last Wednesday, I had the wonderful opportunity to host a super-fun and super-HOT Awesome Wholesome Backyard Party…
Dulles Air and Space Museum – PSF GMYBS
After a whirlwind of a camping trip that I can’t seem to stop blogging about, my dad came into town, followed by a short visit by my sister and her two kids. Rather than stay home in the air conditioning, we opted to take the group of 7 kids to the Dulles Air and Space…
My Not-Bummer Summer
I feel like I could keep posting daily about our trip to Jellystone Park. In fact, I have dozens of pictures I still haven’t shared. Our 2 nights and 2 1/2 days at the campground were the BEST days of our summer, for sure. We created memories that will not soon be forgotten. Until early…
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…
We’re Back From Jellystone Park – PSF linky
We returned from our camping trip yesterday (which means that today has been a heavy-duty laundry day for me!). I can’t say enough good about our little family vacation….and in fact, I don’t have enough time today to do our trip justice, so I figured I’d just show a couple of highlights from our stay:…
Miniature Golf – WW Linky
I must mention that I am writing this post on my netbook by campfire light. Today has been 12 straight hours of fun, and I am sad to be heading home tomorrow. I have so much to share about our camping trip, but most of that will wait til I get home. This is supposed…
Greetings from Jellystone Park!
It’s amazing how much stuff 7 people need to go camping for 2 nights. Granted, this luxurious cabin with beds, a shower, and wifi is a pretty far cry from tent camping. But, since we have our own fire pit and we’re surrounded by RVs, we’ve decided that it totally counts. We are having the…
