Big News!

Tweet So, I’ve been a bit MIA as of late. Why? Well, mainly because not one single day in the last four weeks has gone by when all nine of us were feeling the best. Croup, the stomach flu, appendicitis, bronchitis, colds, coughs, and more of the flu seem to go ’round and ’round in [...]

Disney’s Tangled {A Giveaway}

Tweet Ray and I took the kids to see Tangled when it was still in the theater. We all thoroughly enjoyed the movie and were surprised on more than one occasion by the turn of events. Mandy Moore is delightful as Rapunzel, her little sidekick – who is definitely not a frog – kept us [...]

Tummy Time For Timmy

Tweet With the rain preventing us from venturing too far from home, the kiddos and I are beating the blues by staying busy. One thing we’ve been doing more of these past few days is getting down on the floor with Timmy. Not too long ago I picked up a tummy time mat for him at Walmart. [...]

Can You See It?

Tweet My kids and I love to stare up at the clouds. We see animals, shapes, and images that captivate us and spur on conversations among us. There goes a bunny rabbit. Is that a lion about to pounce? As we were driving home this evening, Noah yelled out that he saw something. Can you [...]

A Grand Welcome

Tweet I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’ve been away for a bit. At least I hope you’ve noticed. Well, last Thursday began a fabulously long weekend of learning, growing, and playing in none other than magical Disney World during the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. Most of the weekend’s festivities took place at the breathtaking [...]

The Life of a Celebrity {or, Why I Want to be a #TypeACeleb}

Tweet I write this post in an effort to explain to you why I am meant to win the #TypeACeleb contest. There are almost 30 of us in the running for a fabulous prize package, and I KNOW that my competition is fierce, but I need this. Especially after the day I had last week… [...]

Making Messy Memories {Week Four Messy Photo Contest Winner}

Tweet Sometimes we can’t prevent our kiddos from getting messy. Yet, at other times we encourage it. (And, I’m not just talking about making them get messy so we can enter a contest!) Whatever the reason, it’s always a good idea to be prepared. I know that some of you certainly have some fabulous messy [...]

Another Stay at Hotel Hospital

Tweet Zach is not in pain – he’s been given morphine. But, he is hungry. And frustrated. He’s right here next to me, lying in a hospital bed in a hospital gown, for the second time in the last seven days. My mommy instincts went on red alert this morning when Zach woke up and [...]

My Trip to the Hospital :: Written by Zach

Tweet Zach asked me yesterday if I blogged about his appendicitis and his stay in the hospital. I asked him if he wanted me to write about it, but then suggested that he tell you his story in his own words, instead. He lit up! He’s wordy, holding nothing back, but he’s happy to tell [...]
