Zhu Zhu Pets {giveaway}

Tweet Just before BlogHer, this last summer, we were sent a Zhu Zhu Pets package, from Mom Select, containing a hamster and complete “habitrail.” Although my kiddos had a fun time with this set, I honestly didn’t think much of this little package until long after I returned from Chicago. Now, I’m not quite so [...]

In Memory of Bryson Ross

No Words

Tweet The house is finally quiet after a fun, but long and busy day. I’m trying to get caught up on some work, but I can’t manage to get past just sitting here, listening to each of my six babies breath as they sleep. I can’t concentrate on work. I can’t seem to focus on [...]

Play and Learn

Tweet I have many fond memories of this time of the year, growing up…. With so many family gatherings and school group activities, we were much busier than usual. Because of the hustle and bustle, it seemed we took many days off of school between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sure, we were still learning, but they [...]

My Big Family

Tweet Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the [...]

Disneyland at Christmastime

Tweet My sisters, mom and I had a blast at Disneyland and California Adventure, last month. Especially since it’s Christmastime at the Magic Kingdom AND it snowed on Main Street! But, boy… it was a long day! Thank you, Disney, for making it a magical day, without the kids! Visit more Wordless Wednesday participants at [...]

Mucinex kicked him out, but I know he’ll be back…

Tweet First of all, let me say thank you to my Twitter-bud – My4Sweeterbugs – for literally saving my sinuses and making my husband’s night! Thanks to her I was able to function beyond grunts and moans, help my hubby make dinner (sorta), get some work done, and even stay awake to watch a movie [...]

Nintendo Favorites

Tweet I was never a fan of video games, growing up. In fact, I never thought we would own a gaming system, let alone three. The Wii, DS, and DSi are great family-friendly systems, each with it’s own unique draw. I am happy to share our favorite games with you now, and can recommend each [...]

Sick and Tired

Tweet First it was a stomach bug that knocked me out for three days. The three days after Thanksgiving. I slept so much during those three days, thanks to the fact that Ray was home and is more-than-usually-amazing when I don’t feel good. Come Monday, I felt okay. Just okay. If you want to call [...]

Buzzed

Tweet The evening started normal enough: we had dinner and then played Uno, my brother and his wife came over to visit, and as we were chatting in the living room, Julia ran in shouting… “Dad, come quick, Noah has something sharp!” “What does he have?” I asked as I jumped up, alarmed. “Just come [...]
