Graham is growing into himself – finally at five he’s mellowing out and really shining. Sure there’s still daily power struggles but gone are the days where I loose my temper several times a day or call Joel at work completely upset and not sure how I’m going to make it to dinner time. It’s […]
Miles at Five
The boys turn five in just a handful of days. FIVE! How do we have preschoolers who are basically kindergardeners??? It just doesn’t seem possible. It feels like they’ll be off to college tomorrow. Miles continues to be the first one up most mornings and will often pick out a clip on tie to go […]
Alice at 16 Months
Alice is in my favorite age window of anything I’ve experienced in 5 years of mothering. I find that 12 – 18 months is the sweet spot where the newborn exhaustion has worn off, mobility and verbalization is flourishing but tantrums haven’t started yet. She makes me laugh daily. And when I started writing down […]
House Works
As the kids get older we’ve been incorporating more of their free labor help in the running of our household. We call them house works so that it feels more inviting and open to cooperation. I don’t know if calling it house works instead of chores really makes a difference but it works so I’m […]
2015 Goals
I’ve completed my longest break in blogging history with three months off from writing anything. It wasn’t intentional; but once I passed the one month mark I decided to focus on other things and embrace the break. I’m not quite happy with my blog layout, there’s some major updates I want to do but I […]
Family Costumes – Have A Happy Halloween!
Every year I think it will be the last year the boys let us do a family costume and want to wear specifically different things from each other. But, we’ll get at least one more Halloween in the books before that happens. First we went with two cute costumes and just slapped them on the […]
Keeping Busy
I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of crafts and busy bee activities now that the weather has turned and we can’t spend all day in the sun running around. Although we have been getting out as often as the weather permits. Alice even got to kick a ball around with us at […]
You Get a Fort and You Get a Fort
Yesterday I was solo parenting all day from breakfast to bedtime. Add on a pumpkin patch field trip with preschool in the drizzle wind and it was a looooong day. No breaks from the boys and fall weather kept us inside for two thirds of the day. But I made it. And I kept my […]
Birthday Wishes and Chex Mix Dreams
I’m headed to California on Thursday with Graham to visit my sister and her family so my birthday wasn’t really on my radar this year. As the weekend grew closer I had a couple emails from people asking what I wanted to do for my birthday and after another day we suddenly had a very […]
Random Moments
I have had these pictures on my desktop for a few months now, waiting to be formed into a blog post. I keep looking at them and enjoying them but never sit down to write about the events behind these photos. Instead of letting them sit for another month in the queue I’m going to […]
