When I went to tuck the boys into bed last night, I nearly killed myself tripping over toys. My children know that there isn’t much Commander Mommy hates more than a messy room at bedtime. It just isn’t safe! I mean, what if there was a fire and I had to get them out? I […]

As a mother, I get little glimpses of myself through the eyes of my children every day. Unfortunately, it isn’t always flattering.

The boys and I plan for Fridays all week long, hammering out important questions like, “Pizza or nachos?” and “Monopoly or LEGO Star Wars?” For the record, I’ve started opting for LEGO […]

There has been a tiny orange and white kitten hanging out by our house for a few weeks now. It is very friendly and tame, often letting my sons carry it around the yard. It is also very skinny, devouring food the first time I put some out for it. After a few weeks of […]

Cleaning Bathtub Toys

I used to be grossed out by my sons’ bath toys. Not really the toys themselves, but the ick they seem to create. No matter how well I drained the water from them there was always gunk that formed, especially inside the favorite toys that squirted water. There is nothing like squeezing a toy and […]
