Happy Monday!

When church softball was in season, it was NOT my child, Levi, that people on the bleachers at the ball field were pointing & laughing at, as he took a whiz on the light pole.  And after a split second of sheer embarrassment, I finally found my voice & yelled his name & told [...]

At the moment, I am the only girl of the house,
so it is essential that I teach the boys how to help
lighten my load. They, of course, gladly oblige.

Levi takes charge with the “big” vacuum and vacuums up
the LARGE amount of food that is thrown during meal times crumbs, while Jack
vacuums the table with his [...]

It seems like my kids have consumed more medicine than food the last few days.
I have a like/dislike relationship with medicine.

I dislike the obvious fact that we need medicine because we are sick
I dislike it when a Dr. will give antibiotics just in case it is “sinusitis” when really it’s just a common cold.

Well, on Monday, the this handsome & crazy man (my hubby) left with another guy from church to go to Northern Ireland for 10 days on a missions trip.  10 days!?!  I am still not even half way through being a “single” parent!  YIKES!

2 Corinthians 1:4 “Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are [...]

*UPDATED 1.26.09*- I have received the free diapers & shampoo so far*  We will have to wait and see for the rest of the stuff

I love freebies!!! Don’t you??? but sometimes most of the time,  I just do NOT have the time to google, research & find all of them, so I cheat and find websites [...]

I am ending the old year and ringing in the NEW YEAR by cleaning LOTS & LOTS of vomit & poopy diapers.  The dreaded stomach virus hit our house & poor little munchkin was the recipient.
Thankfully, little munchkin enjoys Pedialyte, but unfortunately his stomach still does NOT! As soon as I possible can, I plan [...]

I don’t know about you, but I dreaded even thinking about let alone attempting potty training.  I read all the potty training 101’s and “how to know your child is ready” articles, but I still seemed reluctant on when & how to start.
We began attempting to potty train as soon as little man showed any interest.  We of [...]
