It was a big milestone for Logan to start school this past October. It was tough, on both of us. I wasn’t ready to send my child to school at 3 years old, on a bus, by himself. He took a few months to get used to the newness of it all – new routine, [...]

Local Love: Flint’s Children’s Museum & Logan’s 2nd Field Trip

I admit it, I have never been to the Children’s Museum. In fact, I had no idea where it was, but when Logan’s class took a field trip there a few months ago I couldn’t wait to check it out with him and bring Maddie along too. I am always looking to rediscover our city [...]

Where did you learn to do THAT?!

The best part about being a parent, in my opinion, is being amazed when your kids do new things by themselves that you didn’t know they could do. I am often surprised by my children, and I am sure you are, and left asking “How/Where did you learn to do that?”. Even though I know [...]

I’ve missed you!! Blogging and stuff!

Hello everyone! How are you? I hope you had a great weekend. Did you do anything fun? I am writing kind of an informal post to let you all know that I am back to blogging, and committed to updating every Monday and Thursday. I used to do every day, but life changes ya know? [...]

I have a lot to learn about hair!

When I had Logan, I would tell people that I was lucky because at least I didn’t have to learn how to do hair. Boys are so easy – make sure they have a nice hair cut, wash, brush and go! Then I had a little girl. I am ashamed to say – I have [...]

Try this tonight! Recipe: Taco Pockets

Taco_Pockets

Ready to put a new spin on a soft taco recipe? These are delicious, and I might add a little decadent! I added this recipe to our rotation a year ago, when we were getting sick and tired of the same ol’ same ol’. To be honest, when I first made them, I thought they might [...]

Disney World Trip 2013 Part 2: 1 opportunity, 8 days, Pictures!

My sister waiting to get on the plane.

As months went by, I got more and more excited. Of course my children can be away from Mommy for 8 days. There are, after all, two parents. As a mom trying to do it all, sometimes I forget that I can, and do, ask for help from my husband. Let me rephrase that: I [...]

When my baby boy was first diagnosed with Autism, and those words came out of the doctor’s mouth, I cried. Though, it was something we suspected for a year or so, those words made it final, and a wave of scary washed over me. Why us? Why my kid? I had about a week where [...]

2013 Easter Sunday Post!

My babies are growing up so fast. They both dressed up in their Easter finest. They both did an easter egg hunt. They both had a great time. It’s the first year that they can could both be doing the same thing and the same time as Maddie is such a toddler now! She follows [...]

Disney World Trip 2013: Part 1 Miracles and Mommy time

My parents and my sister’s family went to Disney World back in 2010. It was February, and my son was a baby and I had just started telecommuting full time for a local company, so I couldn’t go. Was I bummed? Yep. My mom called me the day she saw Cinderella’s Castle for the first [...]
