Family

We are going on the forth consecutive week with Adam traveling for work. The first two weeks I really put my best foot forward. The second week my parents were out of town too so I had to really give it everything I had if we were going to survive. By the time week number three rolled around, I was […]

There must be something about my cool, calm and collected demeanor that Adam must feel I have things under control or something. Not! The fact that he comes home to a disheveled, stressed, frantic wife who throws her children at him doesn’t seem to raise any flags. Otherwise he would not even consider leaving this state yet again (that would […]

I’ve been known to say that it took me a solid 3-6 months to get the whole baby thing the first time around.

I looked at the swing that I am attempting to sell […]

It was an exceptionally lively house full of boatloads of kids and constant action. It was a household that defined family to me. My friend liked to escape her booming household to the tranquil […]

Next week I am going to do the unthinkable. I am going to forgo the gym for some family quality time. It is our only full week without camp or school, so I decided to take the time to participate in some summer fun activities. I’d like to say it’s because I am SUCH a good mom that I am […]

Well, we survived our first family of five vacation! We packed especially light… Manuevered the airport seamlessly… Took in scenic views… We spent lazy mornings in bed… We spent days being pampered… And constantly got along… There were tons of opportunities to capture my beautiful family of five… All in all, though, we had a great time and I had […]
