Maybe not, but here goes anyways – I dropped three of the four girls – Angelina, Juliana and Olivia – off at daycare, successfully dressed in clean outfits that matched. By “matched,” I mean each of their shirts matched their shorts. Listen, I am not used to this whole “dressing kids” thing. I am darn [...]

It’s a good thing I went to bed early last night, because I’ve been up since 5:02 a.m. when Aviean woke me because she wanted to have a little chat about puppy dogs, earrings and what I was like as a little girl.  Amazingly, all of my attempts to get her to fall back asleep [...]

Today was so busy! I should have gotten up earlier, I think. It took me forever to wake Angelina, Juliana and Olivia up, much less to get them ready for daycare. I put on my make-up between dressing Juliana and Olivia and almost left my cell phone laying in bed where I had left it [...]

The situation I found myself in last night was one that comes around each July: the company I work for was having their annual family picnic. I was the girl from the third floor corner office without any, um, family to bring. I needed a date, and stat. – — – The good news?  I [...]

I slept through almost the entire night last night. Maybe it is a sign that this week will be easier than the weekend was? I really hope so. – — – Can someone explain to me what makes babies in white onesies so darn cute? Jackson’s mother and I went to high school together. She [...]

It’s Sunday night and I’m in the mood to write, maybe because I’ve been cut off from most of the world this weekend.  This weekend was long and, well, just long. I enjoy spending time by myself, but not while I’m sick — in induces all kinds of feelings I’d rather not experience. I woke [...]

Just in case you’re tempted to think too highly of me after reading about our Christmas in July, I wanted to make sure you all noticed what the girls were wearing when they came out of my bedroom that morning: That’s right. One is wearing her outfit from the day before. Another is wearing a [...]

Last Friday night, when I put all five girls – MacKenzie, Angelina, Aviean, Juliana and Olivia – down to sleep, they thought it was a regular Friday night. Little did they know that, when they woke up the next morning, Christmas would be waiting in the kitchen. MacKenzie’s response was my favorite: “Did we sleep [...]

Can you guess… what I’m going to write about… tomorrow by looking at the clue found in Olivia’s ice cream bucket? Hint: it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… – — – But as for tonight – strawberries and bananas for dinner + studying the book of Ruth with my college girl, Cassidy + [...]

Oh, making a campfire in my driveway wasn’t the only thing we did while I had the girls for two weeks. Can you say cupcakes?!? Before you make fun of me for dressing them alike, you should know that they all love it. I realize that I have about one year of them loving it [...]
