I may be awful at really being disconnected when I take vacation days, but I’m really good at doing … Continue reading Holiday break seems to be working so far
Survival posts seem to be a theme around here lately. But, if you had been part of the bedtime in my house that just happened…well, you’d understand. It’s been quite a while since I told someone that I didn’t like my kids much at that moment. I definitely said that twice on Sunday. To which my … Continue reading Bedtimes gone wrong

Quinten, at 2 1/2, is almost always out on the deck when it’s raining. Their love has no bounds. EVERYONE … Continue reading Our little boys of summer

Listening skills. We learn them at a young age. Now that I’m a parent, I’m not exactly sure what age that is. It feels like a pretty important detail when you’re in the trenches of Preschooler 1 and Toddler 2 facing daily struggles of listening.
