Our tiny miracles turn FIVE today. It’s absolutely astonishing. What a road we’ve journeyed together, Sweet Miracle Boys! I never thought I’d give birth to a baby that would be dependent on ventilators, tubes, wires, and monitors to survive. I never could have fathomed the helplessness I would feel to watch one of my babies [...]

Make that 3 four year olds. Uno. (Brooks) Dos. (Isaac) Tres. (Clark) I know it’s thumb sucking is a terrible habit. AND it’s terrible to break. Henry is the only one exempt and he’s pretty proud of that fact. It started back in the day when Brad and I were trying to survive the [...]

I can’t even fathom how much it would cost to take our family of six to a NBA Indiana Pacers game with lower level tickets. I’m thinking it could pretty much pay for a vacation somewhere warm.

Source: etsy.com via Jen (QuatroMama) on Pinterest I remember when the boys were tiny and we were so anxious for them to sleep through the night. Sometimes I miss those quiet moments in the middle of the night when I didn’t rush back to bed, but held them a little longer in the darkness. [...]

Believe it or not our soon to be five year olds {insert panic} have never sat on Santa’s lap until this year. Between RSV lock downs when they were little and not putting a huge emphasis on Santa in our home, it’s just never happened until we had the opportunity last month at the Christmas [...]

The spanking debate is so 2011. Hugging is new school. When you’ve had all you can handle with arguing, bickering, and fighting between brothers – make them HUG. It might seem controversial. Perhaps a tad cruel and unusual to some, highly affective, nonetheless. Hugging for harmony. Bet you’ve never seen THAT in a parenting book [...]

Have you taken a look at your child’s toothpaste ingredients lately? I know I haven’t…just getting the task of tooth brushing x4 once or twice a day is enough to keep me occupied. However, Tom’s of Maine recently challenged our family to do the “Silly Strawberry Swap” and replace our current toothpaste with their natural [...]

I went Black Friday shopping for the first time in my life this year. My sister and I tackled Walmart and Kohl’s and lived to tell about it… Parking in a parking lot down the road because the entire lot was full, fighting the mobs like a sporting event, no shopping carts, digging through stashes [...]
