I’m sitting here reflecting on Thanksgiving after eating another round of leftovers. Its always good to see family and eat till I have to unbutton my pants or loosen the belt on my dress. Yesterday I had two different types of pie, two different types of turkey, and about 15 different side items. When youContinue reading “Thanksgiving”

I’ve had a small case of writer’s block/ too many things going on for the past week and a half. I was starting to worry that maybe this blog was a bad idea and that we aren’t really funny just chaotic. 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”

Before I was pregnant I knew what taking care of myself looked like for the most part. I understood “Me Time.” While pregnant I figured that “Me Time” and “Mommy Time” would look the same. Then the girls were born. Suddenly I wanted to tell everyone who’d told me that self-care was important to kissContinue reading “Mommy Time”

Am I the only parent who occasionally makes a really idiotic choice in a lame attempt to make their kids think that they are cool? I feel like there are bound to be other people like me out there. A couple of weekends ago, we took the kids to a church fair near our house.Continue reading “Stupid Stupid Stupid”

Trying to decide what stories to tell you has made me realize that a lot of my favorite stories involve poop. If that doesn’t tell you about my family I don’t know what does. Taking a break from potty humor, I thought I’d tell you all a little more about my partner in crime. TheContinue reading “The Hubs”

Crazy Eyes and I are now hardened battle buddies. Just as I was wrapping up dictating a blog post for you guys about how it’s important to take time to appreciate the little things and not judge yourselves, one of the babies started fussing. That’s when the following shit-tastrophy occurred. She came into my roomContinue reading “Shit-tastrophy”

My Bonus Dad has coined the term “bad naked.” We use it anytime we’re talking about being nude in the ways you wouldn’t want anyone to see. It’s not artistic, it’s more domestic and VERY unflattering. (Think bending over and digging through the laundry naked.)  Today I’ll tell you the story of how bad nakedContinue reading “Bad Naked!”
