Slowly coming back to life while her body fights off the last of the evil throat infection, Leah finds herself able to sit at the computer. Having given up on eggs and letting her savage son Silas devour most of them, she tries to swallow the last bits of food and collect her thoughts. Her… Continue reading You Can Do It

Bring Me Baileys!!
I’m having coffee today, it’s a coffee day. It’s actually a coffee and Baileys day but since I’m without Baileys, I guess I’m just drinking coffee. Silas is downstairs having a massive temper tantrum because he wants a bite of wrap. I have many bites I’ve pre-torn for him that are sitting right beside me.… Continue reading Bring Me Baileys!!
Great Trip
Well, we are back to the grind after a lovely May Long Weekend at my parent’s house. Gosh, it’s so stinking beautiful out there. So quiet and the air smells so nice. It still feels like home to me. My parents were AMAZING in making their house 100% peanut free for us. They just took… Continue reading Great Trip
Ikey Bikey Boo
Isaac (Ikey, puppy, bear, buffalo, Ikey Okie Oh, Ikey Bikey Boo, Ike-aroni, zazazoozoo, chim chim) has decided his little feet are made for walkin and is using them for that quite often now. The little munchkin. WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS ANYWAY!??? Sorry. He’s just so cute and naughty. He does this little side… Continue reading Ikey Bikey Boo
My Weekend
Happy belated Mother’s Day all!! I hope that you all had a nice day. My day went fairly well. I think my favorite part was setting up my new compost bin. The city I live in puts on an event every year where you take a work shop on composting and then you can buy… Continue reading My Weekend
Oh…This and That.
I’m finding myself feeling more and more like I have absolutely nothing to say some days. C’mon creative Leah brain, do your job! Silas has taken to his new bed rather nicely. He was getting up yesterday and bringing toys into his bed when he should have been napping but he eventually settled down to… Continue reading Oh…This and That.
A Vent and A Challenge
I’m going through this phase in my life where I’m getting really sick of our American culture. It’s so much about consuming. Consuming food, consuming “must have” clothes and products, self medicating through consuming. Buy buy buy and then buy some more because what you first bought isn’t good enough anymore. I especially have trouble… Continue reading A Vent and A Challenge
Winning Feels Gooooood
Congrats to my sister Jennie and her family!! She and her husband have had the same foster family in their home for 7(ish) years now. They’ve really been wanting to adopt the kids but didn’t want to if their birth parents still had access to the kids. The birth parents upset them quite a bit.… Continue reading Winning Feels Gooooood
At My Wits End!
Today is a day where I just want to say ARRRRGGGG!! I am so frustrated with how vicious Silas is with Isaac. He pushes, pulls, slaps and scratches and, as of late, it seems to be going on constantly. If I turn my back to do something, quite often I hear a slap. I can’t… Continue reading At My Wits End!
Your Questions Answered Part 2
Seeing that my past few days have consisted of snorking green boogers out of screaming children’s faces, dealing with some crazy poops, having snot handed to be by Silas as he says “thank you” and trying not to wallow in my OWN cold too much I’ve decided that this is a good time to answer… Continue reading Your Questions Answered Part 2
Pretending
As I write this, Silas is playing the cutest game. He has his “Tebby” bear and is going through his own night time routine. He gives it a little cuddle, a kiss and a hug and says “WHUUUHHH” like he’s being squished. Then he places Tebby gently in my bed and closes the door verrrry… Continue reading Pretending
Busy Weekend!
I get the weirdest sicknesses happening to me. The dizziness has turned into full body aches and just a general sense of un-wellness. Now my boys are sick. Silas was burning up all night despite giving him both Tylenol and Motrin. Ikey was up a lot and Brent and I are very tired this morning.… Continue reading Busy Weekend!
Swimmen in Da Pool
Silas the great was “swimmen in da pool” the other day at the Hotel. Brent’s parents were here and we always love to take advantage of a quiet pool and the extra hands available and get the boys in the water. They sure love it. A few weeks ago Silas was really tentative about swimming… Continue reading Swimmen in Da Pool
Little Bratty Sabotagers
When a person becomes a mother they tend to try to hold onto themselves in certain (small) ways. I think kids pick up on this and then try to sabotage your efforts to maintain full focus on themselves. Let’s share a few examples shall we? I usually buy those cheap facial brushes to wash my… Continue reading Little Bratty Sabotagers
And The Award Goes To….
MY HUSBAND! For the best valentines day gift ever. What is it you ask? It’s the new Dirt Devil Kone hand vacuum cleaner. How romantic hey? I had to poke, I had to prod, I had to remind but I made my romance happen and my floors clean at the same time. This stemmed… Continue reading And The Award Goes To….
