An estimated two million people a year undergo plastic surgery to get smoother skin, smaller saddlebags or a bigger bust. While most of them are old enough to make their own decisions and deal with the consequences, a few are children. For parents who see their children as nothing more than a reflection of themselves, changing the child's face to suit a certain image is the logical next step; to anyone else, it's … [Read more...]
In the past 11 years of being a mom, I've had my fair share of messy moments. The kind that would leave me crying at the end of the day thinking it couldn't get any worse. Then this week, more specifically this evening happened. It all started when our 4 year old daughter spent 10 hours puking every 30 minutes. We dealt with it, bleached it and crossed our fingers that would be the end of it. I didn't get lucky … [Read more...]
I've had this topic in the draft folder of my brain for months now. Months! Who would have thought four little letters would cause such an internal debate for me, but they have. Having been a social media mom (aka blogger, twitterholic, facebooker, etc) for over 3 years now, my life hasn't exactly been a big secret. I've been pretty open and honest about the darkest days of my life, the best and worst moments of my … [Read more...]
You may have noticed lately, 3 Kids and Us blog has been more us and less about the 3 kids. The truth is, I've been really quiet about the kids because they've been driving me up with wall. Since Emma was born my husband and I have really struggled trying to maintain a little peace and order in our lives. As you may remember, Emma came as quite a shock and unexpected surprise. She's actually the reason I started … [Read more...]
I picked up my camera today, for the first time in awhile, just to snap photos of the kids. These days they seem to be growing so fast I can barely keep up with all of the changes, let alone find the time to blog about them. My son, who is now 9, is well ... a 9 year old. You know, whiny, cranky, full of attitude and well on his way to spending the rest of his pre-teen years grounded. If this is just a preview of … [Read more...]
Before I was a mom, I was one of those people, you know, the one's that gawk, judge you with their piercing eyes and thought, geez lady, get a grip on your kids. Then I had a child of my own and became the incredible shrinking woman, sinking to the floor in embarrassment with the onslaught of stares while my child cried in the middle of whatever place we were at. Then I had two toddlers, who decided to not only … [Read more...]
Yesterday I walked right into a parenting mistake I'll never ever make again. The Scene We're walking through Best Buy, during what appears to be the busiest evening of the year thus far (aside from Black Friday), our three kids excited by all of the tech toys within their reach. Mattison grabs a Wii remote, Kaydee jumps all over the pile of XBox games, Emma runs straight to the Pillow Pets on the end cap. It's … [Read more...]
It wasn't until yesterday that I realized the words of a three year old could cut so deeply... When I was about 14, maybe 15, I got in one of the many arguments that teenage daughters have with their mothers. For two people like us, who are so genetically entwined, arguments were just par for the course. During one of those particular snarling matches, for reasons I'll never remember, I told my mother I hated her. … [Read more...]
Last week, my daughter Kaydence attended her first birthday party. You can probably imagine the excitement of a three year being invited to a play day with her preschool friends after three years of playing with her mommy. But just behind her excitement was my panic. The thought of spending an hour with other adults that I didn't know was nearly crippling for me. I'm shy, I'm nervous and socially awkward ... a … [Read more...]
Just the other day my husband was saying how the kids born in the 2000's were being referred to as the "Generation i" at work. Well, now I can see why. These little girls just love playing with our iPhones, especially when they're loading with episodes of Dora and interactive Dr. Seuss stories. For more Wordless Wednesday photos check out the photos below, add your own and visit Baby Loving Mama, … [Read more...]
