We dropped them off two days ago, right after lunch. I scrambled to get them to their aunt and uncle’s on time, so they wouldn’t be waiting on my kids to go on to the camp grounds.
I had packed a whole cooler full of gluten free food for the younger […]
My husband thinks I’m addicted to car seats. I’m not, I swear. But I might be addicted to not having to switch car seats around to a different car in the morning when we’re trying to leave for school, or to replacing old ones that you can no longer adjust […]
Summer break has started! I’m both excited and scared! But really, we have a lot of fun things planned, plus plenty of down time, so it should be good. May 18 I finished the weekend with the Mamavation 5K (and ended the #2weekchallenge). I tried really, really hard to get […]
We live just off a rural highway. We have a false sense of secrecy, almost, with the canopy of leaves and trees.
We hear birds chirping and farm equipment rumbling as often as we hear the cars go by.

(This picture is an optical illusion…I am NOT pregnant. Thanks, Ivy, for the belly […]
The days are gone when I have to worry when I leave the house about the possibility of a hidden spit-up glob on the back of my shirt or a surprise, explosive poopy diaper on a ten minute trip to the post office. We’ve successfully maneuvered out of the baby […]
I drive the road to my kids’ school twice a day, past a lot of fields and this old barn. I’ve taken pictures of it several times with my phone. I don’t know why I love it so much….but I especially love it when there are birds sitting on top […]
The big two have less than 2 weeks of school left and the preschool is done on Friday. !!!! That’s the advantage of going back earlier than everybody else in the country, in August….we get out earlier, too. But seriously, I can’t believe it’s almost summer. May 4 I finally […]
Yeah, so I’m behind again. Let me just dust the cobwebs off the ol’ blog and catch up. April 27 We did the Warrior Dash for the hat. Obviously. April 28 Apparently, the only picture I took on this day was of my teeth for the giveaway. I’m not […]
