Today was one of the hardest days I’ve had in a really long time. Julia woke me up with the news that she didn’t feel good and had thrown up. I got her settled back in bed just in time for Truitt to inform me she was in need of her breakfast. After feeding Truitt…

Just Because it’s HARD, Doesn’t Mean it’s BAD…
Saturday we packed up and headed over to a friend’s house for a play date. I’m always nervous going to anyone’s house for the first time, especially when I have all of the kids. It can be a little overwhelming to most, and John and I always joke about never getting invited back? When you…
Vacation Day 1…
If you looked up the word procrastinator in the dictionary, I am pretty sure that you would find my picture next to it. I am sure most of you are questioning how is it possible that a mom of soon to be 5 tiny humans procrastinates with anything? Well I like to look at from…

Less than 2 months after returning home from overseas, it happened! John and I took a couples trip to Houston with two of our really good friends, Kevin and Ally to go see one of our favorite artist. John had introduced me to Bob Schneider before I left to go overseas, and he was a…
Go To Bed!
I wrote a blog earlier about some of the tips that we use with sleep training. However, just like many things in parenting, something can be working great and then BOOM, your 2 year throws a wrench in it. It’s nights like last night that make me feel like I’m failing miserably as a parent….

For a fleeting moment, I thought about rushing over, scolding Jettie, who obviously had initial custody of the cereal, and taking it away immediately. This instance made…
Plagiocephaly
I had only met one other kid that had to wear a helmet before I had one of my own. I couldn’t have even told you what it was for. At around 6 months old, the twins’ pediatrician recommended that we take them to a cranial specialist. While it is common for infants to develop…
Tips on Sleep Training…
When Jettie was born I had all of the preconceived notions about what kind of parent I was going to be. I knew there were things that were non-negotiable for me, and then I knew there were others that would be purely trial and error. One of our non-negotiables was sleep training. Sleep training. A…
Buttermilk Pie
It started out like any other Wednesday morning. We all ate pancakes, and then we gradually made our way back to the twins’ room where Erin and I watched Jettie pull Timothy up and down the hall in their little red wagon. When it was time for Timothy and Erin’s nap, Jettie gave them a…
EXPECTATIONS
Do you ever have that dream that you are standing in front of a crowded room naked, and no matter what you do you can’t seem to make yourself wake up? Me neither, but sometimes I imagine the feelings that I would feel in that dream are the same feelings that I feel everyday just…
