We should have just stayed home


I thought of Yvette yesterday as I put my children in one of those kiddie shopping carts. I had visions of happy children honking their way through the aisle as I plucked food from the shelves. Yeah....dream on! First Sam started crawling out so he could push the cart, then after I convinced him that he had to stay inside the moving vehicle, Julia started biting him. Oh brother! I was one of those moms that EVERYONE is staring at. Not fun. The whole point of going into the store was to grab a quick and healthy lunch. I left with two hungry kids who didn't like the sandwich I bought. Oh and I forgot to mention that Sam kept hollering "we need to BASH something mom!!!" as I hustled our big rig to the check out. I have his father to thank for that one.


This photo is of a different time Julia decided to test out her teeth's strength. I guess it's payback time. Funny how Sam hasn't bit Julia one since he's learned how much it hurts. (She just cut her 8th tooth over the weekend.)

    Ouch! Sorry about your shopping outing:( VERY well written post, though! I am sure I have never, ever "plucked" an item off the shelf at a grocery store with two kids with me. But if I ever have the chance to grocery shop by myself, boy am I fast. "Supermarket Sweep" ain't got nothin' on kid-free-me when I'm shopping.

    Wow, Julia can bite! Poor boy. Oh, I still laugh over those big rig kiddie shopping cart things. People stare at you regardless if your kids are behaving because of all the might it takes to steer them. Isn't it amazing how quickly one can shop when one has no small children with her?

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
