Adventures with Four: Top Tips for Mananging a Busy Work and Home Schedule

Almost once a week Garen or I have to work out of town or have a work dinner at night. With four kids, people always say “I don’t know how you do it.” Honestly, what choice do you have but to figure it out?!? With that in mind, I thought I’d share a few tipsContinueContinue reading “Adventures with Four: Top Tips for Mananging a Busy Work and Home Schedule”

Photo Friday: Just a Swingin’

Swinging is fun at Mammy and Yaya’s. Check out the awesome swing the big kids have. Does it make me a nerd that I even like swinging on it?!?

William Wednesday

I sometimes feel like I don’t post enough about Will, being both the only boy and the oldest child. I want to make it a point to highlight periodically some of the great stuff he’s been doing as well. He’s in Cub Scouts. It’s crazy having that many little boys in one place but IContinueContinue reading “William Wednesday”

Mommy Review Monday: CuisinartICE-30R Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker

Anna asked for an ice cream maker for Christmas. She saw one in the toy section at Target one day but I knew my patience would not allow for us to make ice cream “Easy Bake” style (although she did get an Easy Bake oven for Christmas). So, I decided to go with a “real”ContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: CuisinartICE-30R Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker”

Let it Snow

It actually snowed here in Texas yesterday. The kids were super excited about it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t even enough to make snowballs or snow angels. I guess we’ll take what we can get though. It’s been unseasonably warm this winter and I’ve waiting for a good cold spell like this. I’ve got homemade chicken noodleContinueContinue reading “Let it Snow”

Photo Friday: Home for (After) Christmas

We celebrated Christmas after Christmas with the Odom family when everyone could get together. We actually remembered to get some family photos. I think they turned out cute…even if Kate didn’t want to look at the camera and was not happy by the time we got to our immediate family photo! These are a fewContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Home for (After) Christmas ”

Resolution Reflection: Stop Planning and Start Doing

I’ll start by saying that I have a lot of good qualities. However, starting and finishing goals and projects is not always one of my strong suits. With that said, as I started thinking about all of the many things I wanted to do and accomplish in 2017, I reflected on all of the unfinishedContinueContinue reading “Resolution Reflection: Stop Planning and Start Doing”

Mommy Review Monday: Munchkin Snack Catcher

I would give the Munchkin Snack Catcher a solid 7. Here’s what I like: They come in a two-pack with two different colors. Great for twins. Kate uses pink and Clara orange. In reality, they get mixed up quite a bit, despite our efforts. They have easy to grip handles. The bottom is non-slip, rubberyContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Munchkin Snack Catcher”

Photo Friday: Christmas Eve and Day with the Graves Family

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Garen’s family. Clara and Kate love their Mama!They look like they just got busted. And they probably did get busted for pulling Mama’s pretty ornaments off the tree!Garen took some cute pictures of everyone. It was a fun time with the family, even if the big kids wereContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Christmas Eve and Day with the Graves Family “

Adventures with Four: Enjoying a Blended Family Christmas

Will and Anna are fortunate enough to have two immediate families and four sets of extended families to celebrate with each holiday season. That’s a lot of Christmas fun for kids…and for us parents to orchestrate. Part of the coordination is out of our hands. Joe Daddy and I share the holiday break. One parentContinueContinue reading “Adventures with Four: Enjoying a Blended Family Christmas”
