Easter Fun
Having less than 12 hours to prepare from Easter, I was the mom at Walgreens at 11pm at night purchasing the Easter baskets. Recalling a few years ago when Liam was opening his stocking and said “I think Santa only makes some of the toys….the rest he gets from Walgreens,” I made sure…
Our Thailand Adventure
It would be impossible to recap all of the incredible experiences we had in Thailand so I am going to do this in list form and then let the pictures tell the story! My memories from Thailand are as follows: All the kids showering at the Cathay Lounge in San Francisco because....well, the…
Loosening the Leash on Liam and Skyler
Snow days snow days and more snow days. It’s been ridiculous this year. Awesome on the one hand and a scheduling nightmare for working moms and dads on the other. Now when you wake up to three inches, it is understandable that they cancel school. But when you wake up the…
Presley's room
I told the kids tonight to go up and clean their rooms before their bedtime show. After they went downstairs for some screen time, I went up to inspect. I found Presley's bed like this I asked Skyler and Liam if they had helped her and they both adamantly said "no." She's 3. And…
Whose excited?
One of our favorite times of the year is about to begin! So many parents complain that baseball is too long and too slow of a sport to enjoy watching but we feel just the opposite. It is so exciting to watch Liam, who enjoys the game so much, thrive with his friends. Further,…
St Patrick's Day 2017
Well it is safe to say that St. Patty's Day for Leif and I is not the drinking, partying craziness it once was. It was more like "quick down this Guinness because its St. Patry's Day and the kids are going to be home any minute". Once the kiddos walked on it was all about getting them dressed…
"Oh for Pete's Sake Mommy!"
As I went to put Presley in the car this afternoon, I opened the wrong side. She belts out "oh for Pete's sake mommy!" Now where did she get that?
Really Mom??!?!
We lock Presley’s door at night when she goes to bed. I know it sounds bad but she literally checks to make sure it is locked and if it isn’t, she will not stop getting out of bed! So we lock it when she goes down and then unlock it when we go to bed. Sometimes we forget to unlock it…
Sun Valley!
What a whirlwind of fun (with a little bit of pain intertwined)!! Lee and Leslie rolled out the red carpet for us like everyone said they would! And with Keith being there too....well, let's just say we were more than taken care of! We got to Sun Valley at…
