And just like that…She’s Six!

Every single birthday my kids celebrate seems to come faster and faster. Time truly does fly when you’re having fun.  My sassy little princess, Anna Beth, turned 6 on Friday. She got a “big girl” bike and took her best friend to see the new Beauty and the Beast at the movies. Do you seeContinueContinue reading “And just like that…She’s Six!”

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”

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”

Photo Friday: Six Flags Holiday in the Park

Last Friday was Will and Anna’s last day of school for the holidays.

Photo Friday- Tis’ the Season

Oh what fun we had at Anna’s class Christmas party! Our class was in charge of the snacks. Due to lots of allergies, everything at our school has to be individually wrapped and cleared by Nurse Gina, who does a great job keeping our kids safe and healthy. Enter traditional white Little Debbie Christmas Trees.ContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday- Tis’ the Season”

Photo Friday- Bathing Beauties 

It’s been a while, right??? A lots happened but rather than trying to catch up, I’m just going to jump right in with a new photo Friday to pull myself back up on the wagon.  Pretty cute little mermaids if you ask me.  A few twin tips to go along with this: We use bathContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday- Bathing Beauties “

Mommy Review Monday: JanSport Big Student Backpacks

Prologue:  I started this post on the first day of school and never finished it. So….I’m now finishing it in honor of the first day of the second six weeks. Can you say procrastination???

Adventures with Four: So Much for Cheap Entertainment 

Remember by post from yesterday? Well, to refresh your memory, the kids all happily played in and with laundry baskets and blankets yesterday morning, keeping them occupied for a solid 30 minutes. And I had the gall to brag about it.  A few hours later, as I was getting lunch ready, I overhead Anna askContinueContinue reading “Adventures with Four: So Much for Cheap Entertainment “
