We are going through a couple changes around here again. It always makes me nervous and anxious when we start something new. In my mind, I know I just need to take it one day at a time. But in real life, I still feel overwhelmed. Stevie started his new school last Monday. Ohmygosh it’s…
Last night I was laying in bed, thinking about why it had been such a difficult day for Stevie. Was it because he started his new school? Was he mad at us for leaving him in an unknown place? Was he tired? Was he frustrated about something else that he couldn’t tell us about? Are…
After I published my mama bear moment, I got a lot of supportive comments and congratulations for standing up for Stevie. It was so appreciated. You guys are the best. I also got a handful of emails from people asking how to avoid a situation like that all together. How do we teach our child…
A preschool holiday party is one of those things that when you’re in the middle of, seems just fine and dandy. You tend to your child and try to have some pleasant small talk with the other parents.

Oh my baby boy! He turned three!! We spent most of his birthday in the car traveling to Southern Utah for Christmas. He slept a little bit, which was fan-freakin-tastic, let me tell you. He hasn’t had much in the way of good solid sleep the past few months and we are wiped. So grateful…
Let’s first take a moment to define a mama bear. According to Urban Dictionary, a very reliable source, it is “A mom who can be cuddly and lovable but also has a ferocious side when it’s necessary to protect her cubs.” I’m not sure I love the term because it kind of puts a heroic spin…
In case you were wondering, Stevie still hates haircuts.
I am up to my eyeballs in editing photos this time of year, but I had to mention Stevie’s little red wagon. Because it’s his new favorite thing. And who knows how long a favorite thing will last? It’s no secret that Stevie likes to roll things down our hallway. It has been referred to…
After 5 days of fever, it has finally broken!!! The illness turned out to be a nasty ear infection, so Stevie is on his first (and hopefully only) round of antibiotics now. His cough still sounds terrible and sleep has been a complete joke. It’s rare to see this kid so miserable that he won’t…
We are here in the middle of some yucky sick days and there is really no better time to share with you guys my love & adoration for the PBS show Signing Time. Albeit annoying as hell, (but really, what kid shows aren’t?) I honestly look at it as something that has saved my life…
