It’s not always easy

It’s been one of those days. It ended with Quinten spitting on my sweatshirt when I put him to bed. That’s a pretty accurate summary of his day. Some days can be such a challenge.

Traumatizing Our Child with Santa

Now that the craziness of Christmas is over, I have time to share our Santa experiences. The boys had many this season. Thankfully, we worked on our wish list early.

It’s difficult to talk about finances and “give up your money.” It’s been one of our greatest changes. No secrets or different ways … Continue reading Budgeting OUR money

That’s about the only thing that is the same. Quinten has made his differences known since day one. He came out with a … Continue reading How different brothers are
