I sent the boys outside to play catch today for the first time, an activity I plan on making a daily habit starting next week. Unfortunately, the only ball we have is a hard baseball that I bought last week for Cody to practice with, since he just started playing baseball this spring. After about [...]

There are times when I look at two of my children and wonder if they have acquired any of my genes whatsoever. They look so much like their dad’s family, I used to joke with my mother-in-law that they could easily be mistaken for her kids rather than mine. I have managed to find my [...]

I learned at a young age that claiming to be bored did not fly with my parents. “Only BORING people are bored,” my dad would remind me, whenever I made the mistake of expressing said feeling.

After a showdown with Cody this evening, in which I gave him several opportunities to stop arguing with me before taking away the object of his desire, Logan decided to issue a threat of the most dire kind. “Mom,” he said, looking at me gravely. “If you don’t give Cody another chance, I’m going to [...]

While on the way to pick the girls up this afternoon, Logan became unusually quiet. “Are you awake back there?” I called. A short silence ensued before he answered. “Yes, Mom. I’m still at 100%. I’m always at 100%”

As I went through Cody’s papers after school yesterday, my heart melted upon seeing this: (In case you can’t read it, here’s the translation:) Lucky Cody I think I’m lucky because I have a new baby cousin. I have a good mother. “Oh, Cody, that’s so sweet!” I said, giving him a hug. “That really [...]

1. On weekends or other free mornings, your kids inevitably wake up at an unearthly hour, making it difficult, if not impossible, depending on their age, for you to catch a few extra zzs. 2. Conversely, on school mornings or when they have to get up by a certain time, your kids are sure to [...]
