Back in May, I met a man who inspired to create my own family memories.  A man who brought tears to my eyes while listening to his own family memories.  They were bittersweet tears for me.  Tears because I wished I had had some of those kind of memories that he had experienced when I [...]

Tyler, my oldest, has sorta always felt like my brother in a way.  I mean, I did have him at 17 after all so we kinda grew up together in a sense I suppose.  He always gave me a hard time from the early newborn days until about 14.  I remember waking up at 2am [...]

Kudos to T-Mobile for incorporating a family allowance into their cell phone plans.  How many times have you or your child gone over their minutes & texts and cringed with fear when opening your cell phone bill?
I’ll never forget the first time Tyler got his first cell phone and we got the first bill.  Oh.my.gosh. [...]

Little man is at the age where he is into everything.  He doesn’t mind as well, he wants to help do everything and where tantrums are inevitable.  Even through some of the more trying times, it’s those sweet moments that come into play and make everything okay.

I can’t help but to have mommy guilt when my little man gets hurt, especially since his latest injury.  I mean, gah, he just had another coco on his head from another accident the other day.
So this latest one….we have a couple of 4-wheelers here.  One with guards, one without.  My boys had just ridden [...]

EDITED: This giveaway is over!
which means I’m strong because I totally don’t get any sleep! It takes a lot to  do what I do, write for who I write for, and blog for you. I got this book, Sleep is for the Weak, at the Blogher conference. I started reading it on the [...]

This is for mommies who have little ones still in diapers. 
Buy those cheap generic ziplock baggies. When your little one performs the “#2″, place the soiled diaper in the bag and toss in the trash.  It helps to avoid those awful diaper smells for a much longer time!
