Backseat love…a new era

Every couple of days I have 3 little 8 year olds in the backseat of my car. Either coming or going from soccer practice. It feels like we have just crossed a major milestone. It might seem silly but listening to the 3 girls giggle, tell stories, and just chat like no one can hear [...]

First day of first Grade!

My little girl is not so little anymore…but she is still as sweet as pie. Tonight as I tucked her in after her first day she told me that she loved me more than anything in the world and if she could just have one thing it would be me…we could figure out how to [...]

It’s over

Kindergarten is over. I will admit I am still in shock. I don’t know where this year went. I look back at the work MB did this year and the pictures of her throughout the year and I can see how much she has grown. How her pretty princess pictures have gotten more detailed. How [...]

Joy of Love: Day 3

Day 3 Then and Now I had to focus on MB for this one. I started with one focus but I can’t help but look back at photos of MB through the years, so took 2 different sets on this one. The first one are photos all mine. The 2nd one (through the years has [...]

100 days of school and hearts

I really can’t believe it. I can’t believe we have almost been through 100 days of school. 100 days of school?? Is it really going to go this fast. We are having a big 100th day of school celebration.  The kids are decorating their own shirts. We will be doing a field day with activities [...]

Just another day in the ‘hood

So we are just pulling in from picking up MB from camp and me from my run. We see our neighbors out on the skateboard and so MB runs out to say hi. Not more than 10 min later we had 3 more neighbors join us and were having a regular block party play-date. There [...]

Learning to Tie your shoes

Ok so does anyone have any tips on teaching kids on tying shoes? We are working on it. We have a book and keep practicing, though probably not enough…but she just gets so frustrated. We have done the bunny ears, and through the hole– but her little fingers just keep getting stuck when it comes [...]

When I grow up

Well we had our first when I grow up conversation. And not a bad first career choice. MB has decided she wants to be a teacher. She has given it quite a bit of thought. She has first decided that she will not be getting married. She wants to be Ms. MB when she is [...]

Wow I feel like a "Mother" now

This past weekend I was attending a birthday party of a 1-year-old. It was a friend of a friend I was visiting. It was a great low-key party with some great people. The birthday boy was sitting in his high chair and enjoying some pieces of hamburger. Mom is in the kitchen making sure all [...]

Going to the nursery

I keep laughing at MB. She doesn’t find it amusing. It started when she got off the bus and had lost her first tooth. She told me she had to go to the nursery when her tooth was about to fall out. I waited a minute and said oh you mean the Nurse’s office. Yea, [...]
