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
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!
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….
YAY PEE PEE!
I have a question for you… What do you get when you mix a 2 year old with a bowl of popcorn, a cup of juice and Oprah and stick him on the potty???….. YAY PEE PEE!!! That was actually the 2nd time on the potty yesterday and his 2nd, 3rd, 4th… Continue reading YAY PEE PEE!
B.L.A.S.P. – ing
With every birth of a child comes a small yet significant perk for the mother. Her body cycles slowwww down and take a little break from crazy fertility land into a nice, calm land where you don’t have to worry about cycles and late-night trips to the drug store. It’s really the only good thing… Continue reading B.L.A.S.P. – ing
No Longer a One-Trick Pony
Well, it’s happening. Ikey is gracefully sliding into a….well…a person. He’s no longer just some leech that wiggles and sucks me dry. He’s actually doing quite a lot. Much to my obvious dismay. He’s mastered our stair case and will b-line his way to it at any open opportunity. He’s does the whole thing with… Continue reading No Longer a One-Trick Pony
A Mother’s Love
I get this feeling every night as I sneak into my children’s room and tuck them in while they sleep. I feel completely and totally vulnerable. For some reason seeing my sleeping children remind me of how delicate they are, how easily they could slip from my fingers. My hear suddenly fills with this feeling… Continue reading A Mother’s Love
It’s an AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH Kinda Day
K yesterday’s post was a floppy flop. Go ask some questions!! I might go on strike because no one loves me! What a morning I had. I must admit, I was not a very good mommy this morning. I get SO frustrated that I can’t even see straight. It all started with Silas stomping on… Continue reading It’s an AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH Kinda Day
If Only I Had Known
Thank you to my sister Jennie for sending me this instruction leaflet that she received in the mail the other day. I think it’s important for all of us to take all of these things very seriously. If I had this on my wall 2 years ago I might not be in this pickle I’m… Continue reading If Only I Had Known
