• Mother’s Day Recap.

      What a fab day!  It started with the kids waking me up to the whispers of "Happy Mother's Day, Mom!" and all of my fun gifts!  Two great necklaces with sweet sayings on the back, and two wonderfully funny cards that both Nathan and William made at their schools. …

  • Corporate ploy or legitimate recall?

    By now I am sure many of you have run to your medicine cabinets and pulled out all the Tylenol, Benadryl, Motrin, and Zyrtec in sight to see if it is indeed part of the recent massive recall issued by McNeil Consumer Healthcare. Imagine my disgust when I discovered that we had bottles from…

  • Mother/Son Baseball Game

    Last night Nathan & I attended a Royals game as the school's annual Mother & Son event.  It was the first time we've been to the K without the whole family but he and I still managed to have fun!  I brought in a GIANT bag of Twizzlers which seemed to…

  • Giddy.

    I'm all giddy with excitement today.  Nathan announced to us a couple of weeks ago that his Kindergarten class would soon have their first field trip.  After waiting patiently for info to be sent home in his backpack regarding the details of the field trip, something FINALLY came late last…

  • I’m a Droid Mom.

    My kids would love to hear me say that, if only it meant what they thought it did.  I love my smartphone by Google.  I love Droid.  Apple? Not so much. One of the funniest things about my phone is that my kids absolutely get a kick out of playing…

  • Roller Skating.

    Today I accompanied Nathan to his very first roller skating experience.  It was a special party organized by his violin instructor for all of the students as a reward for them having succeeded in a listening challenge during the Fall.  I thought that Nathan might be a little apprehensive about…

  • The first {tooth} of many!

    Nathan lost his FIRST TOOTH today! It had been loose for a few weeks now but this morning he woke up and it was super wiggly!  I knew it would be either today or tomorrow that it would come out.  I jokingly told him while he was brushing his teeth this morning…

  • My perfect gentlemen.

    This past weekend I took my two oldest boys to the Nutcracker Tea Party – what has surely become a fun tradition for us this time of year and we had such a festive time!  They were the handsome-est boys in the place and had the attention and admiration of…

  • Formula Fed America:: The debate continues.

    I recently learned of a new movie, Formula Fed America,  debuting soon about the effect that baby formula has had on our nation's children and their overall health.  I have to admit that as a breastfeeding mother I am more than just interested in seeing it.  While I personally believe…

  • Another trophy for the mantle.

    Last night was Nathan's flag football end-of-season party at his coaches house.  It was tons of fun and the best part? Nathan walked away with a fab football trophy! He now has soccer, violin, t-ball, and football trophies showcased in his bedroom.  I must put up that wall shelf I…
