My son is stubborn. I know I’ve said this in previous entries but it needs to be repeated so I can really drive the point home. He’s stubborn in the exact same way that I am. He will only do things when he is perfectly ready to do them not in anyone else’s timeline or… Read More »

There are no more babies in my house. In reality there haven’t been babies in my house in the better part of almost five months. Kaitlyn started walking before her first birthday meaning she’s been a toddler for a while now. It took me those five months to wrap my head around the fact that… Read More »

This week has been filled with all sorts of discoveries including the ability of my son to pee standing up and the revelation that that baby can say “apple juice.” Probably the most startling discovery for me is that my children are getting older.

My last two entries in this wonderful series have been a little heavy. Actually they’ve been a lot heavy with a side of EMOTIONS (yes the capital letters were necessary).

My son has just turned three and as such he is at an age where he is an endless stream of words, most of which don’t make any sense to my adult ear holes. Most of the sounds that come out of his mouth include quoting his favorite lines from a variety of Pixar movies… Read More »

If you’ve stuck around this long you know a few important things about me: first, I play video games and second, I am a mother and a wife. Both of those things are important to this discussion so if you’re just joining me now you are officially all caught up. As of this writing my… Read More »
