The system is failing, and this is why.
My bright, smart, sweet little boy turns 4 in a few months. ::cue Mommy fainting:: This means he will be old enough to start pre-kindergarten next year. As any prepared parent would do, I called my local Independent School District to see what steps I needed to take in order to get Kade enrolled in [...]
Oh right, I have a blog.
Last time I blogged I was pregnant…and next week Lily Alice will be 4 months old, I guess that can sum up how busy I’ve/we’ve been. Let’s start with updated and way adorable pictures of my children: Super cute huh? Kade is officially a little boy and big brother, and Lily has done the job [...]
The Word according to Kade Michael.
I know that almost every parent out there can understand exactly what their child is saying to them, it just comes with being ____’s parent, you know your child’s language. It’s become pretty evident to me though that Nick and I are the only one who knows what Kade is saying. He talks to [...]
And that’s the day I became a Mommy.
May 8, 2008: That’s the day my precious boy entered this world. That’s the day my world ceased to exist, and I started over new in his. That’s one of the best days of my entire lifetime. That’s the day that I became a Mommy. In honor of my first born turning three-years-old on Sunday [...]
Room for two?
That boy of mine. He’s such a bruiser. Loud, all boy, playing hard and conquering and destroying his toys. But, when he gives me hugs and kisses he turns into that little sweetheart of a baby boy who stole my heart from the minute I heard his beating. Yesterday I was down on the ground [...]

Grade A slackass.
Seriously, life has been out of control lately, and I have so many goodies to write about on here for your viewing pleasure. Hopefully I’ll get some writing done this weekend, I miss my blog, and I miss my readers. So, in place of a post for a day (or 2…) here’s a picture of [...]
Monday Memorandum to my Child.
Dear BIG Boy, Somehow this week it seemed you just grew up right before my eyes. Your vocabulary is getting so big, we are more and more easily communicating, and you certainly have a mind of your own. You voice your opinion loudly and any chance you can get. “No no!” is one of your [...]
KinderMusik disaster, take two.
KinderMusik ended an hour ago. The children danced their way through 40 minutes, but I was the one doing the happy dance when it was over and I could get my unruly two-year-old in the car and out of the public eye. We didn’t leave early this time, I stuck it out like the trooper [...]
Video of the week: Kade v. the Dump Truck
