Once upon a time...

...there was a mom who had two children and a husband (who'd been leaving for work at midnight for two days straight). Both children had good sets of lungs that were often exercised while their daddy was trying to rest. The mom didn't want to fight that battle so she searched for something to do with her little ones for a few hours before nap-time.
After carefully weighing her options (cost, distance, tiredness of the children, time until naps, etc...), the mom decided that the local community center would offer the best outlet for the kid's energy and allow them a quick trip home if one (or two) should happen to meltdown and need a nap earlier than expected.

So off they went to do battle in the ball pit and conquer dragons lurking in the castle slide.
The children were famished after their adventures so they dined on hunks of meat(balls) before embarking on a quest into the Northwoods forest filled with creatures like moose, wolves, raccoons, deer, and bears.

Once the excitement wore off they were ready to embark on another conquest. A call had not been heard throughout the kingdom telling the mom that her husband had awoken from his slumber so the mom loaded up the coach and went in search of something else to entertain her children.

It was in the second village, that a kind sir took pity on them and let them cross the bridge without paying the toll. They crept in as to not alert anyone to their presence and cause an uproar. Slipping into open seats, they rested their tiring bodies while the drama unfolded in front of them. There were more battles, another dragon, and a prince charming to bestow true Love's kiss. The mom couldn't believe her good fortune when her youngest fell asleep and didn't wake until proclamation went out that her husband had awoken. The eldest child was mesmerised by the action and wasn't alarmed when three little rodents in front of us began helping themselves to food after the princess and her prince had left to live happily ever after. And so this mom and her little ones left too, to live out their own happily ever after.

"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!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

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!!!!
