If you are a parent you probably know how easy it is to get caught up cleaning the house, cooking dinner, working on the computer, etc. Sometimes those things are necessary, but tuning in to your children is just as necessary. In case you are wondering, both kids are napping, so this is MY time. I am mom all day every day and not all day every day can or should be about my kids. I try really hard to make sure that we get the most out of each day. I think my kids are awesome. Not in a ...

The Not So Nice Three’s
If you are here for some crafty inspiration or deep insight on life, sorry. All I have to offer today is a mommy that is at her ropes end. Y'all ever heard of the terrible twos? Well two was great.

We rented HOP and stopped at Target to pick up a mattress protector (for the reason stated above). This is kind of where everything fell apart. Quinn was wild. Running, climbing on things, ...
How I Came to be a SAHM
I have always wanted to stay at home with my children. There are few things in life I have ever been so sure of. This could stem from myself never having to go to daycare or a sitter. I grew up at home, with my mom and my three siblings. It is the only life I knew. It was a good life. My husband also grew up at home, with his mom, and his two siblings. We were on the same page. We both wanted me to be able to stay at home with our children. Obviously, we envisioned having a lot ...
