Tomorrow is my due date. Therefore we don’t have a lot planned just in case baby 4 decides to make an appearance. Joe has also been working from home a little more to help care for the boys since my mobility has decreased and my braxton hicks contractions have increased. During afternoon naps I try…
Yesterday marked 39 weeks of carrying around baby boy number 4. Over the past several weeks I’ve watched as friends, some of whom had due dates after mine, welcome into the world their new bundles of joy. As an “experienced” mom I know that due dates are just estimates and the baby will come out…
Everyone has different strengths and talents. It’s terribly easy to compare our gifts to the strengths of someone else and think, “I should be doing what they are doing… in addition to what I’m doing.” I have 3 boys. They are all fairly young and parenting each one requires a good deal of my time…
Every Friday night our family has a pizza night. It’s a such a common occurrence our children are often disappointed if we don’t have pizza on Friday night. Pizza Night is usually pretty low-key. We either order a pizza or make our own at home, it extremely rare that we go out to get pizza….

I’m almost 36 weeks pregnant with my 4th child. It is possible this baby boy could come soon, however if previous births are any indication we still have about a month left. (My babies are always 1-2 weeks late.) I have been intentionally ignoring thoughts of the upcoming birth. You see, I’ve had 3 natural…
Christmas is only a few days away and as I see friends post pictures of their child’s school Christmas party or play I start to feel a little mom guilt for homeschooling Jude. He is an extremely social kid, he craves social interaction. Since we started homeschooling he receives far less socialization than he used…
I love all the delicious sugary sweet holiday treats this time of year. Holiday treats are fun for everyone but nobody enjoys a sugar crazed toddler. So this year I’m planning to add more healthy treats to my boys’ stockings, treats like Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars. Nature’s Bakery makes delicious fig based snack bars in…
Jude loves math and is extremely gifted with problem-solving so I knew he would love the new Counting Kingdom Game from Little Worlds Interactive. About Counting KingdomThe Counting Kingdom is an educational game that encourages players to practice their addition skills in a playful and engaging way. Kids play as the Apprentice, a brave young…
