Baby Brother is 22 months old, so not really a baby anymore, but he is our baby. He is likely more…dare I say it…spoiled…than the other two were, only because he has two adoring older brothers who think he is the funniest, cutest, BEST baby brother anyone could possibly have. Hubby and I have also …
Baby Brother will turn 2 in November and he is getting very opinionated! He is learning new words every day and learning new ways to make us laugh. He loves getting a reaction out of everyone and loves telling strangers that I am his mommy. He is just so, so much fun. But, like …
I’m always looking for a great summer activity for preschoolers to keep the kids happy and engaged. Kids love to get wet, especially in the 100+ degree summer heat. When we lived with my parents for a few months in 2011, my mom suggested that the Captain paint with water. He was 2 then and …

Our summer garden is coming to an end, but the okra is still holding on. It has been so hot here, I just don’t want to go pick the okra some days, so, when I finally make it out there, there are a few pieces that are overgrown and hard. I had been throwing some …
This turtle with shell craft is one of my favorite crafts from my kindergarten teaching days! I have been waiting to do this craft with the Captain, and figured he was old enough and had enough attention span to complete it, and I was right. He loved it! I let D make a Turtle, too, …
It’s hot (if you haven’t noticed!) Cookies and oven baked treats are yummy, but I want nothing to do with the oven this time of year. Yet, somehow, the kids are still hungry, as am I. So, I rounded up a few no bake snacks that are delicious and won’t heat up your kitchen! There are …
Do you ever wish your kids would just stick with what works? It seems like as soon as we find the perfect schedule, get the routine down to a science and everyone is well-rested, they suddenly stop napping or begin catapulting themselves from the crib.
