My backs hurts. Not just hurts…aches. It has snowed again here in Columbus. We live on a corner lot which means that we have LOTS of sidewalk to shovel. Today there was another snow delay so when Ethan went down for his nap, the kids and I went out to shovel. Ugh. It killed me.…

Not only is the weather chillin’ but so are my boys. Check it out: Mason is cool while he sleeps. Ethan rolls onto his side, crosses his feet, and just hangs out like that. I’ve been trying to get a picture for awhile and finally got it. Awesome! All of my kids have crossed their…

Remember how I posted about us being UBER-bored last week when school was cancelled? I came up with a few semi-fun things for the kids to do that day. They had fun. Of course they also occasionally ask to play with wooden spoons, but who am I to judge? We played Two Little Monkeys Jumping…

I have hit the big time. That’s right folks. Here I am in my cozy home in Dublin, Ohio and someone…no THREE someones are reading my site across the ocean. Not to make any of you feel uncomfortable or think I’m creepy, but I have a way to track who checks my site(more like where–i…

Corinne is obsessed with the word “rockstar” lately. Let me give you a few examples of her usage of the word: Upon licking the remnants of banana bread batter from her spatula, she replied, “I’m licking this spatula like a rockstar!” Corinne found her belts in the closet and was excited to become reacquainted with…

So I forgot to post anything about Valentine’s Day until I read my sister-in-law’s blog. Thanks for the reminder, Steph! Tony knows I’m not one for roses. They are too mainstream. I really love tulips. Daisies, too, if you really want to know. Just not roses. They are okay when they are unexpected but not…

Remember how when you were a kid and you were between picture books and books with no words? I always liked the books with pictures. I’m all for developing your imagination and whatnot but somehow the pictures pulled me along through the story. Anywho, I am apologizing for the lack of pictures lately. I know…

My sister-in-law, Stephanie, posted this tag on her site and opened it up to anyone. I’m bored so I figured…why not? Here goes: Two names you go by: 1. Greta 2. Mommy Two things you are wearing right now: 1. Fuzzy leopard slippers 2. Blue jeans Two of your favorite things to do: 1. Read…

So I’m having one of those blah days. There’s no school today, but Tony still has work. I had planned on taking the kids to the playplace at the mall around 9 o’clock to get in a good hour of playing before the stores opened and all the people show up. However, the kiddos have…

Corinne’s birthday stretched out over two weeks. She picked to have one friend, Ella, sleep over instead of having a party with lots of friends. They put on their pjs, watched a movie, and had a treat. Time for bed, right? WRONG! Corinne had us put her princess castle tent in her room for them…
