I find that the best days are those that happen spontaneously; no preparation, no real course. This is just what happened to us this week and though it started with something a little aggravating, we made it into a positive. Let me take you on the journey of how we ended up in another State. […]

Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day Weekend came and went, with it the unofficial start of summer even though it doesn’t truly start until the end of June. But what a different start it was! With cooking, cleaning, sewing, installing a new stove and microwave, and spending time with the family it was all rather much the same […]
Power of Protection
“A person’s a person, no matter how small.” Dr. Seuss I bet the the title of this post made you think, which I admit it is supposed to, but not in the obvious way. The protection that came to mind this time corned my three boys. As parents, on top of feeding, clothing, and […]
Unexpected Toddler Thoughts
With the second month of social distancing firmly enacted, the month of May is already proving to be a difficult one, and it has only been a couple of days. Though we are inundated with information concerning the novel coronavirus all day, every day, my husband and I tend to bring our focus more […]
The Triple Bunk
The Boxes The Triple Bunk Bed. Not long ago, I didn’t know such a thing even existed. It never crossed my wildest dreams that someone would come up with such a contraption. But a friend pointed me in the right direction, and boy was I surprised! I’d found so many different kinds, in so […]

Boys Will Be Boys?
will We are all familiar with the saying “boys will be boys” or some variation of it. As I began to think about writing this post, I realized that the saying was originally “Children (boys) are children (boys) and do childish things.” Which, when we think about it further, isn’t that hurtful of a saying, […]
Language of Toddlers
The title of this post may sound a little strange, but I promise that it makes sense. Not long ago, I wrote about the normal that we are now experiencing, and not just as a family, but as a nation. It’s this new normal that led me to think about the communication between my […]
Our New Normal
Only a month ago, if someone told me that it would be hard to purchase toilet paper, I would not have believed them. If someone had mentioned that I would be working from home full-time while attempting to figure out a way to homeschool my preschool age child, I would not have believed them. Unfortunately, […]
Happy Birthday Little Man
“Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Dear Alex!! Happy Birthday to you!” Two days ago my youngest baby boy turned one years old. And though I told myself that I wouldn’t be upset about that, it’s hard not to be in some way. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am so […]
