It might be the teacher in me or it might just be my personality, but I am always trying to teach my kids to be kind. I hate it when my three kids argue with one another. I always stop them and give them the words they are lacking so they can get along better. … Continue reading Raising Kind Kids
Trauma Kids
Okay guys. My heart is heavy tonight. It could be exhaustion from teaching, working out, doing the dishes, working out some more, cooking dinner, allowing my son to drive me to pick up a prescription, giving my daughter a bath, reading with her, showering, and then reading a book for school. Or I'm PMS'ing. Ugh... … Continue reading Trauma Kids
Just another ordinary day…
It's been six years since my mommy died. Actually, it's been six years today that my mommy died. Somewhere around 3:15 pm to be exact. Every year I post a picture or two or more of my beautiful mommy on social media and say, "Six years ago today, I lost my beautiful mommy." It seems … Continue reading Just another ordinary day…
how parents really feel about game night
I grew up on Monopoly. My three big sisters would come over for the weekend and my dad and my mom would get out the vintage game of Monopoly. There would be cardboard pizza, Doritos, Deans dip, and Pepsi. Mind you this was the 80's. I remember my mom scratching the middle of the board … Continue reading how parents really feel about game night

Just when I thought I couldn't get any worse as a hot mess mom, I do. I have relented to taking showers every two days. I'm only shaving once a week. I have been spot cleaning my jeans with really yummy smelling soaps from Bath and Body Works so I feel like it's better than … Continue reading I miss my balls…
To parents everywhere…
God made babies cute for a reason. He really got us with those sparkly, crisp eyes and wet smile. Their soft wispy hairs that never lay down. Their warm soft forehead smells soothing when you kiss it. You inhale their goodness and instantly feel relaxed; at home. Their limber little bodies fit perfectly against your … Continue reading To parents everywhere…
It’s official…I’m a Hallmark Mom
While catching up on some "Home Improvement," an advertisement for a new movie caught my eye: "Love on a Limb." It was so cheesy and so cute that I marked it on my calendar so I wouldn't forget to watch it. Yes, I hate to admit it, but I marked my calendar to watch a … Continue reading It’s official…I’m a Hallmark Mom
I seem to remember a little girl who did the same thing…
As a mom, I love to vent about my kids to my sisters, friends, and anyone who will listen. Some of the things they do just baffle me and I can't help but talk about it. Plus, my kids are my kids and I love them so much, what else am I going to talk … Continue reading I seem to remember a little girl who did the same thing…
I may have thrown carrots at the dinner table…
It's not like I wanted to... It was just the best option at the time.... and it felt so gratifying. Sitting around the dinner table with all six of us generally sparks some interesting conversation. My husband usually picks on the boys while our 14-year-old daughter and I try to embarrass little miss by asking … Continue reading I may have thrown carrots at the dinner table…
