The thing about posting your week in pictures? You have to remember to take pictures. So, I think the “week” part needs to be flexible…really flexible. Join me as I link up with other bloggers at Life Rearranged, doing the mommy dance each week. I think it’s fun to peek into random strangers lives (either…
Three years ago this week, the boys and I officially moved in with Mick. We were already married – we had been for a couple of months. We intentionally took some time after the wedding for the boys to grow accustomed to having a man in the house, sleeping in the bed with mommy, being…
I see other women, just like me, every single trip. They are trying to smile, encouraging their little ones, telling them what a good time they are going to have for the week. They are managing meltdowns, trying to distract, and gulping down coffee before the early flight. Later, they sit alone waiting for the…
Seven years ago, I had a baby and a toddler to care for. With diapers and wipes and high chairs and cribs and strollers to push and car seats to buckle, it was a very different season. A younger friend of mine has two little boys, almost identical in the age difference between them (and…
“Why is he doing this?” my husband yelled, in evident frustration, after seeing another hole punched into the wall, and scattered remains of the bookcase on the bedroom floor. “I think it might be because he has autism,” I answered sarcastically (because, you know, I’m super gracious like that). This marriage thing…it’s not for the…
I recently shared a sort of serious, sort of poking fun of myself post on Tips and Tricks. I thought for sure maybe five of you would read it, smile sweetly, and say “She should really stick to writing about her family.” Well, you readers are kinda awesome and proved me wrong. I actually heard…
We are back on track this week…in so many ways. Not the least of which is another “Week in Pictures” post and linky link-up to Life Rearranged. After the doctor gave me the “talking to” last week, I am so blessed to say that my attitude has been so much better this week. It shows…
When I first heard the news of my boys’ diagnoses, I really struggled. Not just because it was so hard to accept – although it was and sometimes still is. I also struggled, because it was so difficult to find resources that felt relevant to our situation. Many of you have asked me the same…
Like many of you, I am always looking for ways to save time, energy and money around here. So, when a mom emailed me recently and asked me to share any tips and tricks I might have for managing our sometimes crazy/sometimes messy/always busy life, I really wanted to respond. The problem is, I had…
Happy Friday All. (Completely unrelated – I saw an e-card once that said, “‘TGIF, said no mom ever!’”. It’s kinda true. I mean, if you are home with your little ones all week, Saturday doesn’t always look that much different. Although the hubs being around for back-up is always better here. Maybe I can say…
I was planning to write about meltdowns and sensory issues this morning. Instead, I am living them. It’s been a tough week here. Sourdough and Bacon just got back from a visit with their dad in Seattle. Flying, with all of the airport announcements and crowds and more announcements, then boarding lines and on-plane announcements…
We were married almost five years ago. In five years, a lot has changed. For instance: The boys and I moved to Southern California from Washington. We “blended our family” – meaning Mick living with a wife and kids for the first time, and the boys/me adjusting to going from a family of 3 to…
