Shenanigans

As if days spent like this, were nothing but sheer bliss… And the only exercise I was getting was when I carried my five year old up a flight of stairs for a time out (why aren’t I working out this week??

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from another mom saying that her son talks about my son all the time and wants to have a play date. Huh???? You talking about my kid?!?! So let me understand you correctly, my kid talked about poop and farts so much that he made your kid laugh. Your kid came […]

A friend of mine just had her third child and I found myself reminiscing. I’m not sure at this point that I’d like to go back to December 20 but I’m finally so very happy with where we are…as a family of five. /> These seven months have been intense.

He would destroy his room and disturb his sleeping sister, so it became clear cut that “quiet time” would […]

Why do I do this to myself? Do I suffer from such inner conflict that I purposely try to inflict pain on myself? This upcoming weekend I am having close to 50 kids at my house for a joint (Gabby and Drew) birthday party. Why would any human being do that to themself? Am I above a facility with moonwalks […]

There’s something about sun kissed cheeks, chlorine filled hair and the overwhelming sent of sunscreen that makes you really feel like summer is here. It’s those scents that put me back to those days filled with too much sun, bug juice and raisin-like fingers…a.k.a. camp. Today was the first day of camp for my two eldest kids. As much as […]

To the lady who was described as having out of control kids that she cannot handle, I salute you. There’s either two ways she lives with her current situation; she is giving her kids all she has and still can’t seem to grasp her unruly children or she is at a place where she is content with the way things […]
