This is just the sort of gossip that makes a blog juicy, so forgive me for not sharing sooner.
Brent evidently went wild on the streets of Calera while I was in Atlanta.
He got a traffic violation.
Our neighborhood resides just past a small train museum which sits just behind downtown, the crime district of Calera. It’s [...]
I’m not saying I’m going to do a “Works For Me Wednesday” post every week, but I’m feeling opinionated helpful today.
First up: Pacifiers! None of my children have ever taken a pacifier. I’ve narrowed down the reason to be that I spend more time trying to build up a good milk supply and avoid nipple [...]
When the baby won’t stop screaming
When ALL of the Leapsters have dead batteries
When you feel like you are up to your earlobes in poop
When you’ve had but 2 nights good sleep in 2 weeks
When your 2 year old ate all his breakfast…and yours too
When you can’t even catch a break to go to the bathroom
When [...]
Evelyn and I were out late last night for a fundraiser. Brent waited up for us, and all three of us were sleepy.
Evelyn had only gotten up once before in the night (!!!) and woke up bright and early at 6 a.m. I was in the rocking chair nursing her back to sleep around 6:30 [...]
Arwen was 17 months old when Charis was born. At that point, I was still rocking her to sleep every naptime and evening. Then I had a newborn. And not just any newborn, but one that choked, stopped breathing, and turned blue anytime I let her cry for too long.
All of my wee little ones [...]
This is my very favorite outfit to put on Evie. When she outgrows it, it will forever be retired to the box of baby things I’m saving for each of my children. I love the little mary janes at the bottom of her footsies and I layered a shirt with little birds (from the $1 [...]
We don’t have very many “family rules”, but one that we do follow is You Must Be (at least) Four Years Old to Crack the Breakfast Eggs. Charis has been looking forward to the morning when she could make scrambled eggs all by herself for a very long time, as Arwen’s been doing it for [...]
I’ve decided that I need to adopt a 2 year old and a 12 year old.
Certify me on that one. I must be certifiably insane if I just said I wanted to adopt a 2 year old, right?
Ezra needs a buddy. Everyone is either bigger and more capable, or smaller and cuter than him. Evelyn [...]
With only small children in the family right now, our challenges throughout the day tend to be pretty base.
One of Ezra’s favorite activities involves going out into the soap studio, where I have some board puzzles on a shelf. He dumps all the pieces off and walks out. He’s a little slow in getting them [...]
The other day I did a Body Test with my Wii Fit (Plus). We just bought the upgrade to the original Wii Fit.
Do you know the thing had the nerve, after a series of balance tests and weight measurements, to tell me that my Fit Age was actually 42?!
“You try having four kids in five [...]
