Bullying has been a hot topic in the media and it wasn’t until I recently went through some old school photos that I remembered something shameful from my past. In the third grade there was a girl named Sapphire in my class. She had long, strawberry blonde hair, fair skin and thick glasses. She was […]
Taking the kiddos to get their photos taken at the same time takes some preparation. Both kids need to be well rested, fed and (somewhat) happy. And thankfully, it all worked out for us one afternoon while staying in Carson. I decided Cal should go first, as I wasn’t sure how long he would last. […]
The fam and I are heading to “Cabin 8” again this year for the Fourth of July. Cabin 8 is the cabin my husband grew up going to every year since he was a child. This will be my seventh year going for the Fourth of July, and I love it every time. Cabin 8 […]
This is my 100th blog post! That’s kind of cool. I never really thought I would be doing something like this.

Babies change expressions incredibly fast. One evening, Baby Cal was being overly expressive, so I thought I’d play copycat for a while. It was hard keeping up with the little guy! He is SO much fun […]
I forgot my child in a box. Before you go calling Child Protective Services on me, let me explain. Last night I had a dream that some (unidentified) people and I were taking various items to another (unidentified) location, and because I couldn’t carry the items and my children all at once, I put everything and […]
I almost had a meltdown yesterday. My (almost) meltdown occurred on the way home from an afternoon outing with my kiddos and mother. I could tell Gwyn was getting irritable and since it was lunchtime, I decided to grace miss Gwyn with her very first Happy Meal before heading home.This is when I concluded that […]
Alright, it’s time to settle this once and for all. When finishing a meal and/or doing the dishes do you… a.) Dump the remaining food in the trash and then clean your plate with dish soap so that all remaining food particles are cleaned off….basically cleaning the plate by hand before placing in the dishwasher.
