My brother died. There’s no way to put it gently, it hurts all the same. He was my baby brother, the youngest of the three of us. He was a mere 24 years young. He was in a freak, one-car accident and I still can’t wrap my head around how it happened. I feel I […]
I feel like I haven’t posted much this year. Since school started, it’s been hit the ground running. Now that I have three kids in school, my evenings are filled with homework, preschool collage projects, keeping track of events and dress up days. I had a hard time keeping up with everything, and frequently forgetting […]
Noa Arlett is two years old! She is 30.5 inches tall and weighs 21.6 pounds. She is catching up to her sister on clothes sizes, and can share shorts and shirts. Amalia needs the extra length in pants so they can’t share those yet. Noa wears 18-24 and some 2t clothes. Her shoes are 5/6 […]
Ivan James turned six this month! He’s still a little guy like his mom. Ivan wears xs clothes for the most part , but can still wear certain 4t/5t. Ivan’s favorite food is still pizza. Any kind of pizza, all day, every day. Nutella is a close second. Milk is his favorite, preferably chocolate. He […]
30. I gotta admit, It looks different than I thought it would, but its not half bad either. I envisioned being a full-blown adult by now, but I still have no clue what I’m doing. I have learned a lot in the first decade of my adulthood though. I’m proud of me for all the […]
I don’t think I’ll ever get used to just how fast kids grow up. Amalia is officially four years old! She has her check-up later this week so I don’t know how big she is, but she is still a teeny petite girl just like her mamma. Amalia loves barbies and babies. She loves realistic […]
It’s been over a year since we have taken any sort of a trip, so I decided to take the kids with me out of town for a long weekend away. We ended up making the drive to St Louis and stayed Saturday through Monday. We love St Louis because there are so many things […]
Noa turned 18 months a couple weeks ago. We are still breastfeeding, but I’m steadily trying to wean her off. I have just been trying to distract her, or replace it with a sippy cup when she asks for it. She doesn’t always enjoy that I say no, but we are getting better. Night time […]
Our garage is a catch-all. It is our home’s giant junk drawer. We have a million outdoor toys and things that need stored. It’s also my craft area because it can be ventilated. It’s always messy. In the summer, the kids drag out all their toys and then don’t put them away – that’s customary […]
I’m so ready for spring. This polar vortex has brought on my seasonal depression and exacerbated it tenfold. I find myself unmotivated in every way. I want to spring clean, but can’t seem to get the gumption. I haven’t blogged consistently in a good while. I’ve left my crafts to wait in the dark garage. […]
