He used to send me paragraphed text messages, and call me to talk for hours. We’d do the stupid “no you hang up” first thing, neither one of us wanting to hit that hang up button. He wanted to know everything about me, till he got me. Then he’d buy me guilt flowers, not “just…

Goal: 30 Day Pop Detox, & Save Cash.
The count down is officially on, 30 days till our second international family vacation! *Internal scream of excitement, and terror* I’ve known about this trip for a while now, I mean we’ve had our room booked since August 2018.

Hospital Stay/ First Overnight Since Kennedy’s Birth.
It’s been forever since my mom and I have been able to get a babysitter for the kids. We’ve tried scheduling one, and they either can’t accommodate us or the sitter doesn’t show up. The situation is very frustrating, especially since I go through a service. So tonight when we got a babysitter I was…
Elf…Yes, Our Family Has An Elf On The Shelf Despite The Naysayers.
December was a very interesting, month for us. It wasn’t just because it felt like the month was flying by, oddly enough time seemed to be standing still and moving in slow-motion also.

The heated topic usually involves whether formula or breast milk is best for baby. Another hot topic is breastfeeding in public, some say it’s not appropriate and “cover yourself up.” As a “veteran mom”, I say do what…
Birth Story|Welcoming Kennedy|My Fourth Delivery.
First thing ALL women are incredible whether you’ve given birth “naturally”, or by Caesarean section. No labour is the same, even if you’ve had multiple pregnancies.

Baby Announcement #4 / A Baby Update.
At the beginning of summer, I knew that I wanted to have another baby. I was looking into options, adoption being one of them. Although as you can see, that didn’t happen this time around. Despite the fact that I got pregnant fairly quickly, I haven’t ruled out the possibility of adopting or fostering a…
Cooking Class For Beginners.
I believe that cooking and baking, is something that should be taught at a young age. It’s an important life skill, because living off only Kraft dinner and hotdogs isn’t something I want for my kids. Although to be honest, Kraft dinner and hotdogs is a pretty good dish on occasion. Don’t judge. So a…
