This morning shortly after sitting down for breakfast, D went to feed our Betta fish, Fishy Red, only to find that the fish was gone. Apparently he had leaped out of the bowl (again) and was lying seemingly lifeless on the back door kitchen rug. Immediately D scooped him up with a napkin so the…

Although it's been rainy and gloomy all day long, it couldn't be more perfect. This morning the kids and I had a playdate at our new favorite hangout. Not only did they get some great playtime with new friends, but I got to engage in real-life conversation with other local moms! It was a win/win!…

Today I took the boys for a stroll down on the Plaza. Since one of Kansas City's hot spots, I figured I needed to start acquainting them with their hometown and all that it has to offer. They really enjoyed seeing all the fountains and water everywhere. But, what we specifically went down there for was for the fourth…

In this week's edition of Five Things here are five things that W has picked up from big brother N. Some of these drive me crazy, while others make me laugh.

Today on the way back from N's violin lesson, we spotted a very small but quaint Farmer's Market that had set up shop on one of the busy roads of a nearby neighborhood. It was just N and I in the car so I decided that it wouldn't be too chaotic keeping up with just…

Grammy and the kids took off this morning at about 8:30. Of course, I got a little teary-eyed. Who wouldn’t? W just kept waving his little hand at me saying, “byeeee!” and N was as eager as ever to jump into his carseat and get all settled and ready for the long drive to the…

D's had a great day – I'll take the liberties of speaking for him on this one. He was teeing off at 7 a.m. this morning and then came home to have lunch with the kids and I. The best part about his homecoming was that as soon as N heard the garage door opening…

I took the kids to the local library this afternoon for this weekend's edition of Get Buggy. They had a fun time buzzing around the books, blocks and doing the craft-of-the-day, which happened to be a paper bag bug. The boys started out by decorating a brown paper lunch sack with markers all around the body and then…

On days where I really don't have a whole lot to blog about, I tend to start looking at my thousands of notes that I make for myself on a daily basis and today, I found this: {this was written the day we did an indoor picnic} Nathan wanted so desperately to have a picnic…
