Life with toddlers, tweens and teens
Avery turned 8 years old last week, and we celebrated her big day with a party at Build-a-Bear! Avery’s brothers and friends gathered at Build-a-Bear and we all took some time to look around the store at all of the stuffed animals and accessories available. There is so much to choose from! While the kids [...]
You were my surprise baby, who turned out to be one of life’s best surprises. You amazed me with your preference for pink and frilly before you could utter a word, and any attempt to put you in your brother’s hand me downs was met with a pout or a flailing tantrum. You are a [...]
I had my oldest son when I was just 19 years old, but being young didn’t mean I didn’t embrace motherhood, because I did. I felt how precious my son was from the first time I held him and I am so proud to be his mother…even more now that he has grown into an [...]

My daughter asked why she would do that, and I explained to her some of the reasons that people might need hair. She decided she was going to donate [...]
This is what happens when you give a 4 year old a camera at his brother’s hockey game. And as my husband always says… Give a monkey a typewriter and eventually he’ll get a word.
I have never been one to stress about my age. If anything, I have always looked forward to the next year and a new number. I don’t believe that age defines you and I didn’t understand why people got so stressed about getting older. And then I realized that it maybe isn’t about the number [...]
March Break is just around the corner, and my kids are ready for it! I actually really enjoy when they are on holidays. It’s nice not to make them get up early and rush around to go to school, and I enjoy their company. This year, we don’t have anything planned for our spring vacation. [...]
Today’s post will be short and honest. This week, I decided not to wear my armband. I actually decided not to wear it for a few hours because my arm was feeling irritated, and then I forgot to put it back on. I left for a trip for a couple of days, where I ate [...]
