Catch Up

I’ll try to be brief.  Really.  Stop laughing!  Okay, here goes. Home From Vacation — I’m happy to say, the weather at the beach wasn’t torrential downpours as it was here at home. It wasn’t ideal beach weather either, but we managed to get to the beach most days. We also got an evening at [...]

Rain, rain, Go away.

Well, the monsoon has arrived here in Eastern PA.  Just in time for our family trip to the beach.  Joy. We go every year.  It’s family torture tradition with my in-laws.  Just kidding about the torture part.  Really.  It’s always fun.  We look forward to it every year.  In fact, it was on my first [...]

Stuff Portrait Fridays

I found a new game I’m gonna play. Please play along! When you do, leave a comment to let me know! Here are the rules. 1. Your Drinking Glasses. These were a gift from my friend and her mother when I hosted her baby shower. I love them and get tons of compliments when I [...]

“MAMA”

I was at the kitchen counter, pouring a cup of coffee, when I heard it.  The sound I’ve been waiting for.  R was sitting in her high chair, and she said clear as day, "Mama." Of course I squealed and she smiled her biggest smile, thrilled with my attention, and she started in, "Mamama.  Mamama." [...]

Sibling Generosity

We spent the afternoon at the pool, and Hubby met us there for dinner so we had both cars to take home.  Naturally both of the big kids wanted to go with Paul in the behemoth truck, and he only has one booster in his truck so he didn’t want to take both kids, and [...]

A day in the life of a mom.

Well, so far it’s just "a morning in the life" seeing as it’s just 9:30 am.  But I guess when your day starts at 5:30 am, it seems like the day should be  half over at 9:30. So at 5:30 the baby wakes me. I groggily bring her  into bed and nurse her until she [...]

A Brag Post

I have to brag about my son.  First, if you don’t know already, I am the most untalented and uncoordinated person when it comes to sports.  So I just do not have the capacity to imagine actually looking forward to an event such as Field Day (I spent the entire day avoiding as many events [...]

Why One Should Never Take Three Children Six and Under to a Pool Party

D’s former kindergarten class was having an end-of-year pool party and invited us to join them, which I originally thought was kind and thoughtful. I realized too late — meaning after I already got the kids’ hopes up for going — that it was probably not the most relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Boy [...]

Night Terrors and a Sappy Mommy Moment

I think the other night C had what is called a "night terror".  I had heard about these, but never really experienced one.  Until last Sunday night.  C was sleeping between DH and me in our bed.  Out of a sound sleep, I was awoken by the screaming and flailing of 3-year-old limbs.  I immediately [...]

7 things I say often or every day.

I saw this on another blog.  Since I’m sort of at a loss of anything to talk about today, I thought I’d do this. 1. Use your words. (To 3-y/o C who prefers whining as her primary method of communication.) 2. I haven’t had my morning coffee yet! (To the bazillions of requests and demands [...]
