Shenanigans

Sometimes I forget that just because something looks Facebook perfect, doesn’t mean that everything is as it seems. Everyone knows that family on Facebook that just looks perfect. The kids always smile perfectly, everyone’s clothes are always cute and perfectly well coordinated, posts sound like life is pretty damn good. Just because it appears that way, doesn’t mean that is […]

Whether it’s the sliding glass door or the cord to the laptop, Noah is into absolutely everything. It’s as if his license to scoot, extends out to his license to terrorize. He’s pulling, grabbing, and launching just about everything he can get his little chubby hands on. He’s even perfected his screech so when he’s not grasping what he wants, […]

I have such a crush, in a “willing to skip my only errand day to go to music class” sorta way. I hold this little man, my last baby, against me and I realize that I can no longer do this with my other two. Gabby is still cuddly and I think she will be for awhile more. Drew, on […]

I know I should have been enjoying every minute of infancy, especially with Noah since he’s my last. It was near impossible. Between the sleep deprivation and overwhelming feeling of having a new baby, I found myself wishing away the months until they slept better, ate better or just became more of a person. Then six months hit. With each […]

There are some days where my day is just too hard. There are some days where the baby doesn’t stop screaming. Is he teething? Tired? Hungry? There are some days where every word out if my toddler’s mouth is said with a WHINE and is met with an hourly temper tantrum like clock work. There are some days where my […]

My brain has become absolute mush. You know that Tasmanian devil that spins around and around, that is my head all the time these days. At any given moment I could have a panic attack over which child I forgot, where I’m supposed to be or what I’ve neglected. I’m afraid that this is just the beginning of the end. […]
