Going into the mall or other dedicated shopping establishment with your kid(s) and without a stroller. Showing up for a playdate someplace as the only mom who didn't bring snacks for her kid(s). Grocery shopping without a container of Cheerios. Taking your kid(s) with you to go bra shopping. And at Nordstrom, no less. Taking…

N had his five-year doctor's appointment this morning for his yearly checkup. And shots. I had forewarned him all week long about the shots and how he was going to just have to be brave and take the shots. "All five-year-olds do it," I argued. He was less than agreeable to the whole situation but…

The past couple of days, and today in particular, have been spent prepping my home for Halloween and fall decor. Not that I am super excited about this time of year, but I realize I can't fight it. The time is coming. Ironically, although I detest fall and winter, I actually enjoy decorating the house…

I am so irritated by some of the driving I witnessed today. Not only am I fearful for other children, but for my own as they grow and will eventually be riding bikes or possibly walking to school someday soon. The behavior I witnessed today was so ridiculously careless that it just made me think…

For dinner tonight we had homemade cheeseburgers, fries, and corn-on-the-cob. I knew that W loved corn, but I didn't realize he'd end up eating nearly all of the corn I bought! The photo below is NOT doctored either….he really did eat from all of the corn on his plate! Dinner was a success – N…

Today was a very cool but very busy day for the T family. My mom and stepdad came into town late last night (actually, it was early this morning) and were thankfully here to help us celebrate! The kids and I got a special treat – Grammy made them an early breakfast and I got…

Today's Five Things post is dedicated to some very lovely and interesting women I had the priviledge of meeting today. I was the featured speaker at a local women's networking meeting for eWomen Network - Kansas City chapter. This was such a cool speaking engagement! I really enjoyed giving an overview of blogging for business and…

I was recently offered complimentary tickets by some folks over at the Sprint Center. Apparently, they view me as an influential mommy blogger and wanted to extend me an invitation to attend the Ringling Brothers Circus with my family. I was sure I'd never hear the end of it if my kids ever found out…

My baby is FIVE today! I can hardly believe it. It has been a whirlwind and exhausting, but super fun day for us. Upon waking up in bed this morning (the kids slept with us in our bed last night), we all sang Happy Birthday to N before even getting up out of bed. N…
