Even Santa isn’t immune to Judy-attitudy
Last night, against our better judgment, we took the kids to see jolly old St. Nick. At first, we weren’t going to tell them but Brock doesn’t like surprises, so we figured rather than having a meltdown, it would be best that he have a few minutes to prepare himself to meet the big man. [...]

This weekend we had one of our big (extended) family Thanksgiving dinners. This one was at my maternal grandparents’ house which is always fun because there are TONS of people there (there were even more than usual there this year!) and several of my cousins have kids that are about my kids’ ages. Holy run-on [...]

There’s this guy. He’s technically my sister’s boyfriend but I’m pretty sure my kids would willingly take over for her if she would let them. He’s a firefighter and he gave Greg, the kids and I a private tour of his fire station. Brock was immediately in love and didn’t stop asking questions, turning dials, [...]

We are at the age where we would rather buy the kids practical gifts than spend a ton of money on clothes or toys that they will outgrow within 3 months. Rather than splurging on the things they want, we bought them . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [...]

Dear Adrianna, It has officially been two years since you came into our lives. 730 days that you have spent as part of our family. It’s hard for me to grasp the realization that it seems like only yesterday you were a tiny baby and now? Now you are a toddler. You are no longer [...]

Yesterday my mother, God love her, took my kids to my grandma’s house to go swimming. She also invited a brother-sister-sister combo group of my kids’ friends as well as their momma. Side note: My kids are shockingly tan. In stark contrast to their vampirically white mother. I could seriously pass for a Cullen. No, [...]

When I was younger I always anticipated my birthday for MONTHS before the actual day arrived. I remember bugging the crap out of my poor parents asking them every day, “How many more days?” Finally, they just started lying to me to shut me up. “Oh, honey. We already celebrated your birthday this year. But [...]
