Doing Something Crazy

So, I am totally doing something crazy! I am starting an Etsy shop. It's going to have some fabulous paintings on it and prints. This is way out of my comfort zone but I am super excited. I just finished one painting and I love it! It's the first one I have done and finished…

Mama moment nailed!

I am feeling a little nostalgic this morning. My hubby and some friends got my piano moved out of our bedroom into the living room. I think this is the first time in 13 years of marriage we have only bedroom furniture in our bedroom! Pretty epic for us! Anyway, I think it's because I…

Soap is not a toy

So, I am beginning to realize that most of the stories I have are best told by picture. I was in the kitchen being distracted and when I turned around there was sweet little Gemma. Apparently she had gotten the soap out of the bathroom and pumped it out on the fireplace. As we were…

Where did you get that gum!?

Kids can be super tricky and super fast some times. It doesn't matter if you are watching them non stop, they still manage to get into things they are not suppose to. Hence my youngest boy William is going to have the toughest immune system ever! Babies find something and immediately it goes into there…

Don’t lick the car!

Yup, he did it! I swear we just covered this! Well, maybe it was about a year ago. Check it out Don't Lick the Window. Apparently I was a little too specific. We were all over at my friends house yesterday. I was trying to get back home and had lost my keys (which I…

No walking around poopy

Seriously! Who knew that one would have to explain this! When we poop in our underwear, stop and change it! About a year ago we were visiting family and Vincent comes walking in the room, he is my oldest. This horrendous smell files the room. "Vincent," I asked, "Did you have an accident?" Now, Vincent…

Clothes are not optional

Why is it that toddlers love having their clothes off? It's like they are a heavy burden that they have to carry around. Then you start potty training and your lucky they will wear anything. My youngest is a very obstinate three year old. Ever since he got sick and could remember it he realized…

Remember the little moments

I have just been thinking a lot lately about my kiddos. Life can be super hard! I feel like I am in that mommy is super irritable phase and I'll admit there's yelling. There is also some nagging and complaining and frustration going around at our home. Hey, we all have our moments right?! When…

Don’t dance on the fireplace

In general I let me kids climb on everything in the living room. They are not allowed on the back of the couch however. The fireplace is totally free game (plus it is also a great place to store the laundry 😉). We have like a bench fireplace so keeping the kids off of it…

60 to snow!

Spring is here! I get super excited for spring because everything feels fresh and new. That and it means summer is almost here! As soon as the snow ❄️ is gone I jump right into summer mode (the tramp does go up at about this time if we want to be literal)! No jackets outside,…
