Wow – that last post was such a downer that I decided to write a little follow-up – I’m feeling better! I took forever in the shower, and my son is still napping! And the two girls have been playing together… funny how the house calms down when a certain little Kindergartner is at school. […]
My husband works from 9:30 to 5 on weekdays, which leaves me the job of holding down the fort. My kids are generally good kids, and they are adorable, so it should be a fun job. But I’m not having fun today. I’ve had 3 kids crying literally constantly today from 9-12:30. Taylor is 10,

One of the questions was something about
It’s official – there is a flu wreaking havoc in our house. I don’t know if it’s H1N1, but all the signs are there. Our middle-schooler came down with it Friday night, and she’s been in bed ever since. She had to miss a birthday party and church this weekend, and she won’t be going

What’s super fun for kids and free for parents? Well, free for parents who live in most parts of the country, anyway… AUTUMN LEAVES! Last week my kids had a blast playing with the leaves in the back yard. It might cost time and money to dispose of the once beautiful fallen leaves, but before
