After what seemed like weeks of constant rain I noticed that my children were becoming restless. They got bored easily, couldn’t maintain focus on a task for very long and were generally more grumpy. You see, we’d been watching a lot of television and their little bodies and brains were simultaneously under and over stimulated….
Yesterday we had our Anatomy Ultrasound. Jude has been very interested in Baby 4, especially the 1st ultrasound pictures that hand above my desk, so we thought he might enjoy attending the next ultrasound. We picked him up a little early from school while grandma watched the two littles. Jude loved getting to see the…
With the advancement of technology comes to loss of important skills like handwriting. I know I spend a lot more time typing on a computer than I do actually writing out things with paper and pen. I think handwriting is a very important skill that needs to be taught to all children. Many children spend…
I pack a bottle of water for Jude’s school lunch everyday. It’s not only economical but better for him than most sugary juice box drinks. I know he enjoys juice boxes so I decided to give the new Tum-E Yummies Kids Water Enhancers a try. The New Tum-E Yummies Kids Water Enhancers have no sugar,…

Labeling your child’s school possessions at least gives misplaced items a fighting chance to be reunited with their owner which is why I label…
I pride myself on being a pretty low maintenance girl. However, there are times that a little pampering and primping are a must. For instance it had been almost 2 years since my last hair cut and my hair, which has always been fairly short, was close to reaching my waist. Last week I finally…
Jude starts his official first day of 1st grade on Tuesday. Last week he had a few “transition days” which help new students get acclimated to the classroom environment (he attends a small private school). I’m really excited for the start of the school year. Not because I want to push him out of the…
I’m horrible about documenting my pregnancies, life is just too busy, especially with 3 busy little boys. But here is what’s happening with baby 4 at 15 weeks. I’ve finally switched out my regular clothes for maternity clothes. I specifically needed the elastic waist pants now that my mid-section is getting wider. I have a…
