My 6 year old daughter pointed out her loose tooth to me over the weekend. I tried to pull it but couldn’t get it to come out. Yesterday she ran up to me when I picked her up at the daycare with the following: “mom! – I lost a tooth” and then she tried to [...]

Today started at about 6:15 when I got them all out of bed and tried to get 2 cheerleading outfits on and 2 cubscout outfits on. By the time I had put all of the belt loops on and got the belt onto the skinny pants…well, it was nearly 7. We RUSHED out the door [...]

Yesterday we took the Christmas tree and associated in-door decorations down and brought them to the attic. It was a relief. Last year I also got it all put away after [...]

It started with about 10 loads of laundry that were …done…but not folded and an extra load that was folded but not put away. (anyone else have issues with laundry that seems to get done but not put away? and what is it about laundry that is my absolute nemesis?) I was sitting on the [...]

It has been a rough day at our house. I was ready to be home without a huge deadline or two hanging over my head and we needed to do a bunch of errands. The kids let me sleep (well that is a relative term) till 8 am. Then, the chaos started. The house is [...]
