My dad called yesterday. Between Maddie’s screaming for “clicky shoes” and rescuing Christian from dangling off of the stove, I heard him say “So, do you feel refreshed?”.
Um, no. I realized last week that mom’s don’t get vacations. At least not while their kids are this little. I don’t mean that as a complaint but [...]

I feel so chatty and no one is online right now :( I’d call someone but the kids FREAK the heck out as soon as I get on the phone. So here’s everything in my head.
The End.
Just kidding ;) My geek hubbie finally transfered all of our family pics over onto my computer from some [...]
So you’ve moved on and got all famous

I’m the last one in the neighborhood Dustin moved his blog from the youngbostons.com last week and ventured out with a whole new niche and attitude. I must admit, I like the new writing style much, much, better. He blogs from the perspective of a Christian Man on hating chick flicks, camping, [...]

Our living sustainable and simply has led us to a new joy: raising chickens! Yes that’s right, we are urban farmers raising chickens for their eggs in our suburban backyard. How cool is that!
Chicks are super easy to own and take care of, plus the kids adore them! Basically all you need is [...]

It’s taking me awhile to get the hang of a manual camera. I’m still working on lighting and focusing. It’s sooooo hard with moving kids! By the time I’ve figured out the right light setting and adjusted the focus, the kids are in a completely different room
(Sometimes you have [...]
Blog Names

I loved, loved, loved reading through the responses y’all gave for ideas to name my blog. It was so fun seeing your perspective of me …. like Alejandro’s description…..”Like Seinfeld, wrapped in Little House on the Prairie, dipped in Blossom, then stuffed in Teletubbies.” ….oddly I get it, but you’re weird
Here are some [...]

Dustin is such a fun guy to get to know. You can’t put him in a box at all! He contradicts any stereotypes and challenges what you think you know of him. That is part of what I love best about him. He has a half sleeve of tattoos but hates [...]
Name my baby and win!

No, I’m not asking you to name that baby. I want you to name this baby, my blog!
Dustin and I started our website in 2001. It’s purpose was to update out of town family with all of our wedding details so that they could stay informed. Over the years it’s morphed into [...]

Before the kids I was a full time home health nurse. One of the main things I did was visit the homebound, assess them and set up their medications for two weeks. When I was first called to set up someone’s medication I thought, “Is this a joke? How hard can it be?”. [...]
It’s not you, it’s me

I just don’t feel like blogging.
I’ve always been brutally transparent here. A lot of you have commented on how you admire and appreciate it. I’m grateful for the compliments, but it’s really not because I’m brave. It’s just because I don’t know better than to say half the stuff I do.
Lately, I’ve been afraid to [...]
