ahhhh Monday Monday, you have arrived so quickly. Hubster and I left our kiddos for the first time overnight to go to a wedding of one of my WSU dance pals. It was a bit off the beaten path so I got to feel like I was taking a vacation. I mean if you consider…

As I’m slowly drowning in laundry and mundane household tasks, I found myself taking a break to go over pictures from last weeks adventure at Stricker’s grove. Although it isn’t technically OUR grove, the “one day this (arms spread open wide) will all be yours” comments were constant throughout the evening, just because we are…

Wednesdays are our favorite day of the week. Being a stay at home mom, any excuse to get out of the house is awesome. Combine that with free and that is awesome times infinity. Wednesdays we go to toddler time at the local library. It’s a terrific excuse for Theo and Elliot to get some (did…

You know how you live your entire life thinking that you grew up completely normal until BAM! A memory smacks you right in the face and you think “man that wasn’t normal”. I had that moment today. And I feel the need to share it. You’re welcome. When I was in the 6th grade my elementary…

Exhaustion. Fatigue. These are words that I use in my everyday life now as a mommy. Sure,  as a kid I got “tired” from playing outside all day or “sleepy” from staying up too late at a sleepover, but this feeling of complete exhaustion is a whole new Christopher Columbus expedition of sorts. The first…

Happy Monday Blog world. I awoke to a perfectly crisp fall morning…total sweatshirt and boot weather (eat your heart out summer) this is my favorite time of year! Love love love the autumn chill and the excitement that comes with it…football anyone? I’m always jonesing for a hoodie morning, and this weekend brought them to the forefront.…

Cancer Sucks. I have myself never experienced the physical and emotional pain of cancer, nor would I ever understand what cancer warriors and survivors go through on a day to day basis. Even survivors are still fighting, fighting the constant voice of “what if” in the back of their mind. Fighting the feelings that everyday…

This morning I awoke to a foggy day, and an even foggier brain. You know those days. Where everything seems to be hazy and you feel like you are just going through the motions. These are the kind of days that you just stay in your jammies and snuggle really close. They also usually call for an…

Elliot “hijacked” my computer this morning, so I thought I’d share what he had written. Smart one that Elly…I  like to read his stuff in a deep voice because he’s got a gruffy grunt. Elliot: UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I’M AWAKE! Time to wake up that mommy lady, it’s 7:00 and I’m hungry! I love to eat! I’m…

Well it happened. Theo bit me. And wow was I mad when he did it. Not ony did it hurt, but it happened in front of an audience (as all bad kid things do). I’ve been dreading this day forever ( since I worked in daycare and realized that vampires truly exist among us) and naively thought…
