Toilets and Toddlers

Man, what is it with toddlers and toilets? As soon as you turn your back they are all over it! Violet is one and won't keep her hands out of it no matter who or what is deposited inside! Can't keep the door closed all the time though because Gemma, the two year old, is…

Powder, powder everywhere.

I love those moments as a mom when you finally get a few seconds da to yourself in the shower. They are so peaceful! It doesn't matter what is going on in the rest of your house because you can enjoy the peace. Until your 6 year old comes in and says that your 4…

The Hands That Hold

So, this sketch surprised me. It's really about my step-mom. She passed away unexpectedly when I was about 20 years old. The story I had an interesting relationship with my step-mom. Without going into a lot of detail, I hadn't talked or seen her or my dad for at least 5 years. It was a…

Just Keep Your Mouth Closed!

Yeah, this totally just happened. It is one of those moments when your glad you didn't make time to take a shower yet because you would be doing it again. Sometimes your just grateful for one shower, but to have to take two? I don't have time for that! Ever had a reflux baby? If…

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…

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…
