With Fathers day right around the corner I thought I’d share what the kids made for their Dad for Christmas. Each kid was creative, and came up with their own from the cookie cutters, and markers I had on hand. You lay 10 popsicle sticks out and then take an 11th to make level. Once […]

Dress up Clothing….
Like most parents I know we also have a love hate relationship with the dress up clothing. Why? Because it gets strewn about everywhere and then you end up almost breaking your neck slipping on a dress or something that you didn’t see becuase you were caring a large baby or something. However I’m here […]
Growing Up Catholic Part V (My love of the Rosary)
Ok so if you’ve made it this far bravo! You’re a champ and I thank you! A good number of folks in my family all over in many directions have tattoos. How every my devote Catholic grandparents were very opposed to them, as many folks are. For a quick back story I fell completely in […]
Waste not want not
Our poor baby got the flu that we all (minus daddy) got, and the pediatricians office told us to give him warm apple juice. Well during this whole Covid_19 thing we weren’t going out just for apple juice while we are all sick already. So I made some fresh with the kids. This was a […]
Free Snacks
I have a ‘Free Snack’ system in our house becuase I have little ones and they are honestly hungry aaaaaall of the time. They think about food morning, noon, night, and every movement in between. They are non stop growing and moving kids who eat a great deal of veggies and fruits so I get […]

Take A Moment For Yourself

Growing up Catholic Part III (Prayer)
With a growing family and dwindling patients prayer came into play more and more. Prayer is a HUGE part of our days in and out of the home. It doesn’t matter where we are we say grace before every meal, a litany of prayers before bed and bless each of our bundles, and say the […]
Calling All Little Able Body Laundry Helpers!
Not even going to fib our 5yo is really starting to be a real and true helper with laundry these days, and our 3yo almost 4yo isn’t far beind. The best way to get them to start learning is with the cleaning rags becuase honestly WHO CARES what they look like. Also when the kids […]
Growing up Catholic Part II (Mass)
There is a great deal of controversy on what you should and should not be allowed to use to get children to behave during the service. I for one am just thankful to see children there. I’m not a huge fan of electronics during mass but I’ve come to learn to never say never. There […]
