“I like your booty, Mommy!”
A conversation with Lily just now: Lily: Mommy, see what I drawing? It’s your booty. Me: Lily, why in the world are you drawing a picture of my booty? Lily: Ummm.. a ‘cuz I like it, Mommy! I like your booty. Long pause… Read More Read More
You are not going to believe what just happened…
(Subtitle: Mom Discipline from The Toilet) This happened not even 10 minutes ago: There I was, minding my own business, sitting on the toilet, when Wyatt came screaming and crying into the bathroom. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that his twin brother had bitten him on the back. Not cool, Zander. Not. Cool. Read More Read More
What we’ve been up to.
I’ve let my blog go by the wayside. I realized I was getting too caught up in producing content and forgetting why I blog in the first place: To keep memories of my silly kids. So, I’ve been getting back to basics and hanging out with them, blogging when something funny comes up. So here’s a quick photo recap about what we’ve been doing the past few weeks.

On Vacation!
Hi friends! I have quite the story to tell you… it involves a totally spontaneous road trip with my four kiddos. Lots of shenanigans, lots of fun. But, it’s going to wait for a bit. The kids and I needed a change of scenery and a vacation, so I’m going to be MIA for the next week or so to spend some good, quality time with my tikes and my mom. I hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day and a fantastic coming week. Talk to... Read More
Licorice {Messy Monday}
Zander had his first taste of licorice this weekend… As you can tell, he hated it. Lookout Ronald McDonald. There’s a new clown in town! Read More
The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading only.
While you’re reading this, I’m probably in the airport hobbling around on one foot while frantically trying to get my shoes off at the security gate. What is it about that line that sets my adrenaline on hyperdrive? Is it the line of folks behind me? The conveyor belt ahead of me, moving perpetually forward? And why do I always forget to wear flip-flops? Seriously, Lindsay. You’ve flown enough to know better. Read More Read More
Interview me.
First of all, thank you for all of those nummy meal ideas last week! We ended up making the pork roast in the crock pot and it was insanely delicious. Yuuum. I’m going to be coming back to that post next time I need dinner ideas. You guys are awesome! So, tomorrow I’m leaving for North Carolina where I’ll be joining my humor writing partner in crime Tracy Beckerman. We’ll be attending the Raleigh Southern Women’s Show... Read More
Testing sumpin’ out.
Ignore this. (I know you won’t, because you’re stubborn like me and if someone tells you to ignore something, you’re even more inclined to look at it.) Fine. I’ll tell you a funny story, then. Read More Read More
What’s on your grocery list?
This week, I need tips from you. I’m heading out to the grocery store and have no idea what to get to make dinners this week. I like cooking… I just hate trying to be creative and figure out what to make at 4:30pm when my entire house falls into a spiraling vortex of screams and whines. This week, I want to have a plan. A list. Be ready when that hellish witching hour rolls around. But all I can think to make is spaghetti and tacos. I’m... Read More
This is why I gate off my kitchen… {Messy Monday}
For my sanity, I gate off the kitchen from the babies. It’s easier than attaching safety latches to cupboards, and it means I don’t have to spend the entire day removing my little climbers from the table top. I realize that by gating off the kitchen, I have turned it into something of a forbidden fruit, something that seems much more exciting than it really is, but it’s worth it for my sanity. Of course, occasionally, the gate... Read More
Dirrrty Silly Bandz {(Fairly) Funny Friday}
Last weekend, we attended our mini-friend’s fifth birthday party. A great time had by all: feeding chickens, a dip in the hot tub, birthday cake, all rounded out at the end by the ever-popular goody bag for guests. The bags were filled with excellent age-appropriate treats and toys. One particularly popular feature were the Silly Bandz. This was my kids’ first encounter with the new must-have accessory for anyone who’s anyone and... Read More

Adjusting to New Sibling(s) {Tips(y) Tuesday}
Did anyone try out the mac ‘n cheese tip from last week? Whadja think? I’m going to cheat an eensy bit this week, but for good reason. I’ve noticed that there seem to be a whole lotta babies making their appearance soon in my own world of Facebook friends, so I’d bet that’s true for you, too! This week, I want to offer up tips on helping your child adjust to their new sibling. I started writing up this post, when I realized... Read More
It’s all muscle. ({Fairly} Funny Friday)
My kids are really into dressing up lately, even the twins. I’m all for it, since it’s a cryin’ shame to spend money on Halloween costumes and have them only used once. This week, Wyatt insisted on wearing Colby’s (read: two sizes two big for him) Spiderman costume. Soon after, snack time ensued. And he remained cloaked in his disguise. Tell me this isn’t at least fairly funny: It’s all muscle, baby. Read More
A Day Late, and a Dollar Short: Thoughts
I’m curious to know: why is “A day late and a dollar short” only used in a discouraging way? First of all, if you’re a day late, then yeah, that’s a bummer, but apparently whatever you were hoping to do cost money, so since you’re a day late, you saved that money you would have spent.
