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 [...]
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 [...]
Today is a good day.
Today is a good day. Today I feel good, I am eating without fear of throwing it up, I am being productive, and tomorrow is the last day of work until Monday and Christmas is this week. Today is a good day. Except for the fact that I got hugs and kisses from my sweet [...]
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 [...]

Video of the week: Kade v. the Dump Truck

Monday Memorandum to my Child.
Dear Sweet Boy, Oh my. What a week, huh? You are only two and you’ve already got a scar to show off when you get older – 9 staples in the back of your head. (And from what I hear chicks dig scars, oh brother.) My goodness Kade Michael. I don’t know who was more scared [...]
Terrible Tuesday, part 2.
Ok, ok, I’ll end the suspense and tell you how Tuesday evening went down at the casa de Wilson. Also, let me state this disclaimer: if you have a queasy stomach do not, I repeat, do NOT scroll to the very end of the post, the picture at the end will not agree with you [...]
The Tuesday that will never be forgotten.
Yesterday was really like any other Tuesday. That is, until I got home at 5:24 that evening, that’s when everything changed and made it not your typical Tuesday at the casa de Wilson. I drove up to our house to find my husband on the roof of the house, doing something that has to do [...]
