Last year, on the last day of school before Christmas break, I was volunteering in Quinn's classroom. Quinn was so excited for this day. It was pajama day, the kids were doing a book exchange, there were crafts, treats and even a magic show. This day had been so hyped up and to my little preschooler it was going to be nothing short of epic. We are at school a total of 5 minutes and I know something is wrong. Quinn is clinging too me, sitting in my lap. This isn't like Quinn-- he is usually ...

A Case of the Mondays Cure
So this post may not be aptly named since it is 10:50 on a Monday night and by the time you folks are reading it, it will be Tuesday (or close to it). Things have been a bit slow going around here.

I have/had grand plans of fitting so much into the summer, but this guy is holding us back. I mean it in the most loving way possible of course. Hudson is ...
Baby Talk
Any of you who have ever found out you are pregnant probably know the swirl of emotions and thoughts that surround such exciting and life changing news. Everything from: Oh sh*t!

This Mom’s Back To School’s Musings
This week Quinn started preschool. It is only two days a week for 2.5 hours. Even though his time away isn't long, it is monumental. It is the start of his school career and his experiences without me. The start of him meeting people I don't know. It is hard to wrap my head around the fact that I am a parent of a child in school. I feel like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. It is quite remarkable how quickly time flies when you are a parent. Quinn is a very ...
Craft-tastic
That title has nothing to do with anything. Just a thing...I say...occasionally. Anyone else? Right now I should be blogging about an awesome craft I made while the kids were napping. Unfortunately, (those of you who follow me on Facebook already know this), my craft supplies became toys. They are MIA. Well, I found one in the craft closet and one under the couch. One is still missing. By the way I need to dust/vacuum bad. We have some cat-hair-tumbleweed action that I wasn't aware of. Thanks ...
