While I’m still enjoying all that the holidays have to offer (snow, laughter,family) I’m realizing that with age, comes the closing of the gap of when you become your ancestors. Slowly but surely I am becoming my mother. Or my mother is becoming me. Either way it’s stressing the hubster out big time. We are…

Nothing could make a Merrier Christmas than a perfectly timed snowstorm. So as we snuggle inside with hot cocoa and pot roast I’m going to photo drop the heck out of this Christmas. Most of these photos are of the boys at the Grandparent’s house (my over-excitement prohibited good Christmas morning pictures at our house).  …

So we’ve been trying to establish this new bedtime ritual in which Theo goes to bed at a normal hour without a parent next to him,  getting jabbed in the face by his flailing two (almost three) year old arms. Basically, we are trying to un-spoil our first born, who from the moment he came…

After the events of last Friday, I couldn’t find the words to describe how I feel. How I view the world has changed, my heart has been speed bagged by the tragedy in Connecticut. And I’m just a mom in Ohio…I can’t imagine how those immediately affected by this are able to cope, even able…

So lately I’ve been feeling a lot like Stephanie Tanner in the Motownphilly dance recital episode of Full house. You know…overwhelmed but too embarrassed to tell anyone for fear of letting them down. I’m a running man and two shoulder pads away from having a breakdown. I blame Zales commercials  for setting the bar too high on…

I thought I would share Theo’s description of the holiday season to everyone, in his exact words as he was looking at our (busy) white board calendar last night.     “This is the Day that Santa is going to come”         “This is the day that will be Jesus’ birthday”    …

Sorry blog world, I have taken a slight hiatus. Please forgive me. While on my break, I’ve been dabbeling into new areas. One being Craigslist. I mean, I’ve always searched for odds and ends on craigslist, but never pulled the trigger, because in my crazy paranoid mind, Craigslist = getting murdered (I blame most of my paranoia…

True or false. I may or may not be crying my face off while listening to the  *NSYNC Christmas album. ahhh sweet nostalgia. As a little girl, I never dreamed that someday I would be dancing around my heinous wallpaper kitchen with my two awesome boys.  I never dreamed how magical being a mom would be, especially at…

Is it me or does the spelling for Gracias (thank you in spanish) remind me a whole lot of the english word Gracious. Koinky Dink….I think not. This year I am so so so very gracious. Gracious that we have our health, our family and our home. I’m gracious that what could have been a…

I am the WORST diciplinarian. In Taylor Swift jargan…”Like EVER” I can’t help it. It’s like my brain is programmed to crack up everytime my two year old contorts into a cirque du solei-esque body position during one of the many Fitcapades that he throws. It’s not even 10:00 and we’ve had four fits already;…
