The other night I was brushing my teeth and talking to Ross. I don't even remember what we were talking about. The kids probably. We talk about them--a lot. Then I got the hiccups. Can we take a moment to appreciate how annoying the hiccups are? It is late. It is always late, because we don't go to bed like normal people. In fact, it is pushing midnight as I write this. So it was late and I climbed into bed hiccups and all. I'm laying there, thoroughly annoyed (but lazy) hiccuping ...

I’m Here, What I’m Loving & How to Help This Pregnant Blogger Out
I'm here! Oh, how I miss blogging and my people. I'm barely keeping up with my life right now, let alone finding time to share it. But I LOVE blogging and I cannot wait to get my blogging MOJO back. This has kind of been holding me back. Heck yeah I watermarked that photo! Nobody else is getting credit for that belly. Lugging that bad boy around is a lot of work. Seriously guys, if you don't follow me on Instagram (@balancinghome) or Facebook-- YOU SHOULD! It is easy for me to share and ...
Being Right and Other Randomness
We made it to the grocery store the other day...finally. Ross was unpacking some groceries, I was in the living room with the kiddos and our conversation went something like this: Ross: Why did you buy more hot chocolate? We have tons of it! Me: (I yell back from the living room) Because I wanted mint hot chocolate. I have been craving it. Ross: This isn't mint. Me: Yes it is. Ross: No it isn't. Me: (Marching to kitchen to prove my right-ness and points at word "mint") ...
Kiddo Randomness
Bare with me and my randomness. I just have so much to share. Judging by the Facebook response, we are all a little off kilter. Yes, it is true, my creative time has been taken over by summer fun, family events and life. It is all good though, because Wisconsin winters are long and I will get my mojo back. Living with kids, as you know (assuming you live with kids or have ever spent time with one), always brings something interesting to the table. Seriously, they find so much joy in ...
Waiting for Someday
Growing up my mom use to always say, "Don't wish your days away". Don't worry, I didn't grow up wishing my days away, but if I said, "I wish it were Friday!", or "I can't wait until the weekend!" or "I just wish this exam was over!" that is what my mom would tell me. She is a very wise woman. I think as a kid time doesn't carry the same weight as it does when you are an adult. Then you become a mom and time is literally on hyperdrive. I started this blog right after having my second child and ...
