If I had to sum up the events of last night in one word, I would have go with terrifying. After having already lost one child, I know it's not something I can ever deal with again. I'm mentally not able to cope with that kind of loss ever again. People always tell you, God won't give you more than you can handle, and maybe they're right. When Gavin died 10 years ago, I thought that was my breaking … [Read more...]
It's the middle of July and guess what I'm thinking about? School. In exactly 4 weeks my son will embarking on a new journey ... Intermediate School. It's his transition from being one of the little elementary school kids to joining the pre-tweens in 4th and 5th grade. Not only that but our 3 year old daughter will be starting a part time pre-school. Luckily, I still have one baby left that won't … [Read more...]
After the hell we've been through in dealing with our son's eating habits, or lack there of, I've started to feel like the luckiest mom in the world when I had two daughters that ate without complaint. In fact, not only do they not complain but they love to try new foods and very seldom is there something they don't like. There also happens to be a small group of foods that never make it into our house … [Read more...]
When I was little, I would spend my time making mud pies, burning leaves just to see what would happen and tromping through the woods behind my parents house. I despised the color pink, makeup, dressing up and all things girlie. Most of that still holds true today. When I found out I was having a baby girl three years ago, my world completely and utterly changed. I painted an entire bedroom in our … [Read more...]
It's hard to believe it has been 3 years since my first baby girl was born and now here she is ... 3 years old. Some days I feel like she's got the intellectual development of a 3 year old, the physical development of a 5 year old and the attitude of a 16 year old. Despite her sassy nature, she's been one of the three best blessing to ever come in my life. HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY KAYDENCE!!! Birth to … [Read more...]
Now that all of my babies are not real babies anymore, I'm finding myself in a world of confusion when it comes to where they sleep. We've got a daughter in a crib, a daughter in a toddler bed and a son in a twin bed. Did I mention that the crib and twin bed are sharing a room? Yep, Mattison and Emma are hanging out in one room because if we have Kaydee and Emma in the same room they'll keep each other … [Read more...]
As bad as I feel right now, I can't help but laugh at the irony of our situation. You would think, as parents we grow and learn, become better at our jobs with each child. The first is a real learning experience for most parents. Bumps, bruises, scrapes, accidents, they're all part of it. You learn and each child becomes less and less damaged as you use file away those experiences in your memory bank … [Read more...]
In the 9 years I've been a mom, I've never been too much of a worry wart when it comes to medical emergencies. We've had our fair share of them that we often solved on our own with some quick thinking and ingenious tips from my mom who happens to be a nurse. Like the time during Mattison's toddler years when he stuck an M&M up his nose and it wedged in there pretty deeply. I thought for sure it … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago my family and I were introduced to and compared Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta vs White Pasta. It became a taste taste test in which we found both pastas look and tastes the same except Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta has added calcium and vitamin D. It's truly a win-win pasta for both parents and kids. This week, our daughter along with the children of 50 other bloggers was entered into the … [Read more...]
