Will we homeschool next year?

Everyday has become a challenge. Homeschool is not what I hoped or expected it to be this year. I feel like I’m constantly wrangling cats when it’s time to get the boys to sit down and do their school work. I also feel a bit like a hostage negotiator, as I’m always trying to get…

Scotties Facial Tissues Welcomes The Homeless Into Permanent Housing

I love that Scotties Facial Tissues is such a large supporter of organizations like The Pine Street Inn which provides shelter for the homeless. January was a great month for 100 homeless people in Boston who are now living in permanent supportive housing thanks to the generosity of The Pine Street Inn. The Pine Street…

Preparing for Wild Weather and Runny Noses #SickJustGotReal

As I’m writing this I have the windows opened and we just returned from an afternoon at the park as it is currently 78 degrees outside. Yet, only a few days ago it was only 9 degrees outside and the ground was covered with ice and snow. This is the weather we get in North…

How to Choose the Best Baby Carrier

Over the past nine years, I’ve used a lot of different baby gear, and I’ve found that one of my must-have items is a great baby carrier. It’s simple: You need to get stuff done, but babies demand being held. And while snuggling a sweet little baby 24/7 sounds awesome, it isn’t practical. Baby carriers…

Keep Holiday Traditions Simple

I always have these grand ideas of baking sugar cookies from scratch with the boys and decorating them with icing and fun candies. But then reality sets in and I remember that I have to help all of the boys with their cookie decorations and none of them are particularly helpful in the kitchen, especially…

O’ Christmas Tree

Every year we go to the NC Farmer’s Market and pick out a Christmas tree with the boys. It’s always a lot of fun to look at all of the trees, decorations and free candy canes. This year it was exceptionally cold so we didn’t stay terribly long but we did find the perfect tree.

What do you like to do you in your free time?

This question has been a hard one for me to answer for years, mostly because I don’t feel like I have a lot of free time. I’m in mom mode almost 24/7 and kids are constantly interrupting me. I used to have a lot of things that kept me occupied during my “free” time. I…

Family Thanksgiving 2016

We spent Thanksgiving with some of my extended family this year. We played games, ate too much food and gave thanks for so many things. I took a lot of picture so of course I’m not in any of them. I really need to teach someone else how to use my camera.

Let’s See Where the Day Takes Us

The other day I took the 3 oldest boys to Pullen Park for a last minute afternoon adventure. Because Joe works from home we have ability to sneak away while Abel takes his afternoon nap. It’s actually very ideal because the boys get really loud and rambunctious in the afternoons. I love a good plan…
