When T was little, from the get go, we rocked with him. Once we got passed the rocking and shooshing stage, I would rock and sing him to sleep. It was one of the highlights of my day. No, not because he was going to bed, but because I got to spend that little extraContinue reading “Taking the Time to Rock”

School Choice ~ Our Decision
Awhile back I did a post on socialization and our kids, as well as a lot of society\’s perception of it verses the reality. I did the post because T is at the age where he can go to a prekindergarten in the Fall. I, like many other families with kids the same age, wasContinue reading “School Choice ~ Our Decision”
Birthday Cake Fun

Sometimes it was our favorite (I had pumpkin pie one year because I love pumpkin pie so much) and sometimes it was something she created and decorated.

Birthdays ~ Our Style

What classes are they going to be in? Are they going to do ECFE? Are they going to day care? HowContinue reading “Well, What About Socialization?”
Being Okay With Staying Home

The first has to do with making the decision to be a stay at home mom. The second has to do with staying home and not going out for theContinue reading “Being Okay With Staying Home”
The Thunderstorms of Life
The past two mornings we\’ve had thunderstorms roll through early in the morning. Too early to be awake for the day, but hard to go back to sleep as they move through. And yet, we have more in store for tonight and tomorrow morning. Normally, I like a good old fashion thunderstorm…every now andContinue reading “The Thunderstorms of Life”

Suddenly, we shift from taking care of ourselves, to taking care of our spouse andContinue reading “Kids, Marriage, & Yourself”
