Oh boy… This is getting fun

I braided Tia’s hair today. I’m not that great of a braider and she’s got pretty fine hair, but I managed and it looks so very cute. I’m trying to grow her bangs out which is a pain in the rear end so I’m looking for things I can do to keep it out of […]

How to travel with three kids and keep your sanity

After surviving our fourth flight with three kids, I thought I would pass on a few tips. First of all, when travelling with three small children it is imperative that you not try to be a superhero and go it alone. Such foolishness will most likely result in casualties and as you would be grossly […]

Talkless Tuesday: Her smile was worth every penny…

I have a post rolling around in my head, but I’m too tired today to be creative, so I will celebrate Wordless Wednesday a day early. Lovey Bear was in the mailbox waiting for us last night. Yes, Rachel, I do believe I would have paid $100 for him because the look on her face […]

Headed Home

We’ve had a wonderful month here. It is sad to have to leave, but we are excited to get back to our own house. Last night Lee and I took the older kids to the beach to watch the sunset. It was a perfect way to end the trip. The weather was beautiful, the sunset […]

I just paid $30.00 for it, which I know is ridiculous, but my baby girl is still asking for her lovey and doggonit, I found one so […]

Out of the Mouths of Babes…and Mommies

Sloan recently learned the rhyming song – you know, “Beach, Beach bo Beach, Banana Fanana Fo Feach, Me Mi Mo Meach, Beach.” Well, he sang truck the other day and with perfect enunciation belted out, “Truck, Truck bo Buck, Banana Fanana Fo F*&k…” And, for some reason, he really liked the sound of that one […]

Pictures

We’ve had a fun filled few days. We enjoyed SeaWorld a lot. We saw Shamoo, and sat in the splah zone where we got reeeaaalllyy wet! Sloan thought it was the coolest, Tia not so much. I think we did everything we wanted to while we were there. It was a great time. We’ve played […]

Sometimes a kiss and a bandaid won’t do

I’ve pretty much given up hope on finding Tia’s lovey. I know I’ve been talking about this a lot, but it really has been an upsetting thing for her and for me. I spent a little time thinking about it last night because I have honestly fluctuated between crying over that silly bear and laughing […]
