A couple of months ago I lost my husband…in our house…for about six hours. Yes, you read that right. Take a minute to read it again if you need. I’ll wait… A few things are worth noting here: 1) My Husband HAS disappeared before. PTSD is a bitch. We’ll talk about that one day. 2)Continue reading “That Time I Lost My Husband”

The Mom Van and I have only been a team for about 6 months but she’s an essential part of our family. The kids even have a theme song for her. (Basically they just scream “Nananananananana MOM VAN!” to the tune of the old Batman theme song.) I didn’t want a Mom Van though. IContinue reading “The Mom Van”

Since its been an interesting week already I thought I’d share some of the crazy with you.

Dinner last night reassured me that good idea or not, my family is goodContinue reading “Dinner Conversation”

I feel like exhaustion is wrapped around me like an enchanted cape that’s trying to pull me back into bed. A glance in the mirror shows me that I look like I tried to fight someone and lost. Listening to me for more than five minutes could lead you to believe that I’m also aContinue reading “Dead Tired”

When it came time to stock our home library after my Bonus Kids started staying with us, I wasn’t really sure where to start. I picked up a couple of my favorites from my childhood and then got stuck. However, when you work in an industry where little ones are the focus eventually you startContinue reading “Books We Love!”

After my post the other day I wanted to take a minute to tell ya’ll more about Crazy Eyes. I love this kid. She’s an absolute nut and that’s part of the reason she got her name. She also has huge crystal blue eyes that she is prone to crossing and bugging out at people.Continue reading “Crazy Eyes”
