My first three children transitioned from their crib to toddler bed very well so I was at a loss when my 4th child would have none of it. When we moved him out of his crib at nearly 2 years he took over our bed until he was nearly 6. My 5th and 6th children were basically the same....even today at ages 5 and 3 they will not sleep in … [Read more...]

So much has happened this year that most of it seems to have just been a blur and I can't fathom where all this time went.

I've never bothered much with nursing covers, I've breastfed 7 children and have gotten pretty good at adjusting my clothing just right that … [Read more...]
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I seem to inadvertently placed myself in blogging time-out! 3 of my boys are in their first year of Little League and this "Sports Mom' persona is very new to me. I feel like I am always on the go with practices 3 days every week, one day 1 kid, another day 2 kids, and another … [Read more...]
Have you seen it!?!? Well if you're here then you must :) Jes from Infusion Design Studios had very little to base my design on because.....well.....I really had no idea what I wanted!
