Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
In case you haven’t heard because you have unfollowed me on twitter and Facebook to avoid my potty training talk, I am working as a zookeeper training the last of my kids. It is going pretty well. We’ve trained three before him so we know what we are in for and are always prepared. He […]
So my little Parker has become quite the costumer. In order to hang out with him once in a while I’ve taken up costuming as well. It all started when I volunteered to costume the kids’ show a few years ago assuming this meant I was assisting some costumer employed by the theater. Well surprise, […]
McKenna has reached full-on American Girl obsession. She went from having no interest in them to wanting all of the American Girl® dolls and all of their accessories. She just needs parents with a much larger bank account to make her dreams come true. Her first major request was the McKenna doll because how could I […]
I shower as the sun rises and before they realize it is a new day. Closing my laptop and vowing not to open it again, I gather the first of sleepy heads into my lap and watch his feet dangle, ever closer to the floor. There have been too many have to’s and one more […]

I am notorious for not having all of the ingredients I need for a recipe. And then I wing it. And I substitute this for that. And then the pizza man arrives with dinner. But this is one recipe I am always prepared for because it only takes three ingredients (or four if you want […]
We wrapped up Aladdin Junior in February. My absolute favorite part of the show was having a junior costumer this time who just happened to be Parker. Doing Aladdin costumes with my son was such an awesome experience. He’s great at sewing and there’s nothing like having someone right there at a sewing maching, ready […]
I’ve been practicing yoga at home for almost three years. At some point I came to the realization that if I had to attend a class somewhere I was never going to get in shape. Once I started looking for ways to do yoga at home I found a huge amount of classes online. With […]
I had big goals for today. It is my husband’s birthday and since I never have anything done ahead of time I had to work on his birthday gift with three small children who are banned from most shopping malls in tow. Putting my hours on Pinterest to good use, I picked a few cute […]
