Tuesday September 23…. Day 43 New Mexico is warm at 7am. Lazily I went into the convenience store for coffee, juice and fruit. We ate breakfast and shuffled into the trading post just after they opened their doors. The two-story gift shop was littered with wooden beams and indian artifacts mostly pottery and jewelry but theContinue reading “Full of hot air”

I survived a day with my kids!
Sounds ridiculous, I know, but today was the first day without my husband that I ventured out for errands with all five of the kids. On. my. own! Since the new addition a month ago, I have been dreading this day. It wasn’t all that bad, but it was something to write about. (hence thisContinue reading “I survived a day with my kids!”
For the Moms
In light of Ash’s 3rd birthday, I thought it appropriate to pay homage to my own 7 year anniversary of becoming a mama. First, I have a confession. We were trying to make a baby and on the very first try we succeeded (he he). But when that test showed up positive, I didn’t feelContinue reading “For the Moms”

So many moms (and dads) ask us about how easy(or difficult) it is to transition from one to two kids, or two to three, three to four; we always have the same answer: “Piece of cake!” It’s difficult to comprehend because when you are building your nest for that first little baby-bird you are allContinue reading “From One to two…”

However, I am not rude or crass so I explain.(sigh) I come from a fairly large family ofContinue reading “The Dreaded Question: Are you done?”
What’s the Maine idea?
What does a pig, a whale and a moose all have in common? Our trip to Maine! It started with a moose and ended with a pig but everything in between was riveting. We set out on a Sunday in an RV out on the open road, just the six of us. That’s right, weContinue reading “What’s the Maine idea?”
How our 18 month old had a “potty success!”
March 1, 2014 Oak woke up at 5:30am with a dry diaper and put her pee pee in the potty!!! We are ecstatic! It all started a few days ago just as we were getting home from bringing Juniper and Lemon to their Karate class. Oak and I were walking through our laundry area whenContinue reading “How our 18 month old had a “potty success!””
