Sometimes when I see a picture of all three of them by my side it’s hard to believe they are mine. And they aren’t babies anymore. It truly happened in a blink of an eye. They are their own people with unique personalities, likes and dislikes and quirks about them. And they belong to […]
Source: simplemom.net via Tsh on Pinterest As a mom there are lots of little things to be done throughout the day that I necessarily don’t want to stop and do sometimes: getting stuck food out of little teeth getting another dress out of the closet when there are 15 on the floor fixing another […]

This week did not roll out like I had planned. I was planning an overly productive week. Brian was traveling. I was looking forward to quiet evenings getting plenty ‘o stuff done. Not that I wasn’t going to miss quality with my husband but you know, looking forward to a change of pace for a […]
