The Children
No TV for you!
Do you ever think about how TV advertising affects your children? Aidan is a sucker when it comes to advertising. There is a commercial about Bendaroos, have you seen this one? The “Magical wax building sticks” are for crafting, and “they never break!” Aidan tells me all the time that she needs those, because “they [...]
A very random Monday
First of all, let me just say that I plan to remain in my pajamas the entire day. I may get dressed to go to Hobby Lobby today, but I am considering making the trip in my pajamas. Friday night was the Ugly Christmas Sweater party. If I decide not to be lazy today, I [...]
Be Brave
A few weeks ago, I made myself a little rule and wrote it on our dry erase board. Aidan asked me what it said, so I read it to her. “No worrying allowed.” She asked me why I wrote that, and I told her that I worry to much, so I was reminding myself not [...]
I quit.
I give up trying to clothe someone who will not keep their clothes on. Zion is at the kitchen table having a snack…and he’s naked. He likes it that way, and cares nothing for clothing. I care nothing for picking up his clothes that he has thrown around the house immediately after I put them [...]
One fine day
It was last week, Ben and I were cleaning the house and the boys were laying on our bed watching a movie. I just got that feeling that things had been going to well. That things were way to quiet. They were. Zion had dumped a whole thing of sugar on Ben’s nightstand and the [...]
You’re not a lady if…
This morning I awoke to some sort of weird ceremony taking place on my bed. Aidan was in our bed, hiding under the covers when her brothers came in. They climbed on the bed, stood there very proud like and yelled a lot. When they stopped yelling they could hear Aidan yelling under the covers. [...]

Friday’s are my favorite day…if Ben is off. He started working 4 10 hour days a while back. It’s been awesome. First of all, it saves us a little money in the gas and lunch department PLUS he can take Aidan to school for me and I don’t have to get 4 kids ready just [...]
I push the button!
There is this stuffed animal on our Christmas tree that sings a Christmas song and I never knew until the boys squeezed that toy 30 times while we were decorating. After putting up the Christmas tree, we all sat down on the couch to watch it twinkle. Andrew would run up to the tree, squeeze [...]

Last week sometime, our beloved dog Flash went to live at my other mother’s house. I call her my other mother, but her name is Lisa. I like this arrangement because if I actually start missing Flash when I start missing Flash, we can go see him. He now lives on a waterless lake (more [...]
First Annual Barn Raising
I offer water to my kids all the time. Aidan loves it, the boys on the other hand feel like they are being punished. The very mention of the word water can send Zion to floor and induces some sort of seizure like reaction. These glasses of water that I offer are clean, purified, and [...]
