Lets face it. Getting children to eat a healthy and balanced diet of fruits and veggies can be a pain in the rear. Especially if you haven’t been religious about it since babyhood. There are a lot of weird textures and flavors that come out of fruits and veggies. But they are so very essential to a person’s health, that I think it is an important issue to address. We, like many…
Oh yeah. I did it. I built the “just tape up your floor” city/road/train track indoor activity for my children on the 5th day we were stuck inside because of gross weather. I taped up all over the playroom with my washi tape. I made roads and spots for buildings. The whole shebang. The boys and I built up skyscrapers and houses and even an airplane hanger. We set up Tidmouth Shed…
So, it’s been a while??? I had to take a small tour of my blog dashboard to update and see what all had changed while I was on hiatus! Blogging has been the furthest thing on my mind since little Madi joined our family back in July last year. It has been a whirlwind since then. I feel like everything is simultaneously flying by and moving like a sloth. Cliche, right? Nonetheless,…
You know those time when your playroom looks like a tornado just passed through? Don’t lie, I know you do. Mine looks like that pretty much every. single. day. This isn’t even the bad part… Some days I can control the mess, but most days I’m running around the house doing other stuff while they play independently (thank the Lord for siblings!) and things get a little bit out of hand. I’ll…
I have this problem of wanting to keep anything that may be useful down the line, even if I’m not quite sure how it could be used, I can’t bear to throw it out! Like the bags that sheets come in at Target! I mean, I obviously love the pattern of the fabric (because I picked out sheets in the same pattern) and it’s a sweet little bag! Who can’t use another bag??…
The boys are sharing a room full-time now and loving it! If anybody is on the fence about having your kids share a room, DO IT! It’s so good for them to share a space with someone! I still had Christian napping in his pack-n-play, until recently, when Alex stopped napping (moment of silence, please.). Now he is napping in his crib-turned-toddler-bed and sleeping SO.MUCH.BETTER. Apparently he was waking himself up…
The other night, we had a mom’s craft night were we made the most adorable ornaments! I’m so glad my friend posted the idea and ordered these fillable ornaments 🙂 I had the boys’ stuff from the hospital (and by all I mean their hats and bracelets) in a box in the basement waiting to be put up somewhere or something. I had big plans for all that stuff. I’m sure you…
A quick update for you guys today because I just realized the other day that I haven’t shown you our further progress in the boys’ bathroom! What the heck have I been doing?? Since I last talked about their bathroom, we have successfully tiled our first floor! That change made such a huge difference in here. And it really wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. We chose the classic…
I think every mom has been there. You know, wondering when the last time you showered was. Did you wash your hair? Pick up a shirt and sniff. Clean enough to get through the day. You think, “I really should paint my nails” or “I wish I could take a bath” or “I need to start working out”. But, by the end of the day, you are so wiped out from caring…
Hello, friends! Spring is finally on it’s way! It’s starting to warm up a bit here in Ohio and we’ve been spending more and more time outside, which means that I actually need to put shoes on Christian. He’s been wearing his Bison Booties all Winter which are completely adorable and comfy for inside, but outside he needs something a little bit sturdier (and something I’m not too attached to because I’m…
