I am always way too late on the Advent calendar train. I usually try to put something together on December 4th, get frustrated with the fact that I am behind and can’t backtrack, and give up and eat peppermint kisses instead. This year, I am determined to do it up and do it right; so…
Disclosure: I received a complimentary Switch Witch in order to put her to the test with my kids; however, all opinions and musings in this post are entirely my own. Thank God my kids don’t have allergies. We’ve never had to fear peanuts or eggs or dander… we’re very lucky. We have, however, had to…

Ah the dreaded thank you cards. My 3 year old and 1 year old had a birthday party almost two months ago… I still haven’t sent out thank you cards. Part of my problem is I feel like there should be some element that says my kids had a hand in saying the “thank you”…
I’m a little too jazzed about these cups that are brand new and on their way from Puj, the popular baby sink tub company. We got a Puj tub with our 3rd baby because I used to hate bending over the tub edge to wash the baby. It was nothing short of uncomfortable. The Puj tub…
Pizza. Mmm. I mean, who doesn’t love pizza? And if you tell me you know someone or you are that someone, I will give you the same reaction that I give when I hear that you don’t like chocolate. Because, huh?? I LOVE pizza. So when I went on a dairy-free diet because of my…
Hear that? It’s a huge sigh of relief coming from yours truly. I have been working on finishing the kids’ shared room since before Graham came along (which happened in June of last year), and I have FINALLY finished all the things I had wanted to do. Of course, there will always be more and…
It’s cold and rainy here in Colorado. Technically it’s still summer, but fall is creeping up on us and bringing us a light snowfall in mid-September (what??). I’m already dreading the days of being stuck indoors with 3 kids and no where for them to run free…
So today I’m thinking about finding a project that they can do indoors that will benefit us all and keep us happy amidst the gloomy weather. I pinned a couple of these ideas a while ago for DIY watercolor art from your kid’s creations, and I’m loving the thought of putting them together. Not only will the kids have a blast doing them, but it will keep them occupied (read: mommy stays sane while trying to get some work done), and in the end, I’ll have a new piece of art to hang in our hallway. Everybody wins!
I love dressing my kids almost as much as I love dressing myself. Raise your hand if you often forego purchasing clothes for yourself so your kid can have some new skinny jeans and an old man cardigan… oh, just me?
Dressing my daughter for school always presents a bit of problem for me; I want her to look cute, but I also know that a white dress and tights is in no way practical. She will inevitably fall and dirty her knees while on the playground, get marker on her sweater sleeve and have a mystery mark on the seat of her jeans. So while I send her out looking like the perfect little lady, she returns home with frizzy hair, a sweaty forehead and one less sock.
