Four Months!

My little man is four months old today. Seriously??What I learned today during his monthly photo shoot? I’ve shot myself in the foot with the two props. The horse? What was I thinking?! I should’ve picked a little, tiny teddy bear or something. Is it too late to change […]

Three Months!

Ervin turned three months old on Friday! Yes, I know it’s Monday. Whatever. I have four kids; it’s hard to do things in a timely manner these days.I’m excited that we’re having a photo shoot on Wednesday with April of aprilthoughts photography. But I just wanted a quick (almost on […]

Road Trips Aren’t For Sissies.

The Mama Kat’s World Famous Writing Workshop prompt this week that I chose was sort of a cheat…”Share a memorable road trip story!”I have a memorable road trip story, that’s for sure. I still talk about it A LOT. It’s the reason my kids can’t be in the car for […]

Birthday Fun

Yesterday, we took our first semi-long trip with Ervin. We celebrated T’s Grandma’s birthday in Hillsboro, a couple of hours away. Of course, I was a little nervous about it. Either we were going to get there really late because Ervin got hungry part way there and we would have […]

8 Weeks

This boy: has me wrapped so tightly around his teensy weensy little fingers. I mean, come on. How can you resist this kissy face?Anybody who thinks a mom can’t love all her kids equally obviously hasn’t had more than one. I have four now and I love them all SO MUCH. […]

Not The Good Kind

I’m in a funk. And not the good kind. I feel pretty weird saying that, since it’s my name and all, but I don’t know how else to say it. My poor kids have to deal with some major mood swings these days. I get pretty angry and irrational at […]
