It was a beautiful weekend in Atlanta. It screamed fall, and even though we got a little sunburned, it was amazing! The girls had recently heard a commercial on the radio for Stone Mountain’s Pumpkin festival and asked if they could go for their birthdays (maybe those 8 and 6 posts will come soon). We … Read More about The Pumpkin Festival | Mommy and Me Monday | 244th ed

These are a few of my favorite things | OSB
Way, way, way back in elementary school I was in the school choir. Which looking back is pretty funny because I’m not really a singer. Or even vocally inclined. But one thing I will never forget about that experience is our crazy music teacher. She had big hair, a southern drawl and was rail skinny. And … Read More about These are a few of my favorite things | OSB
Hotel living while feeling like a local
This post was sponsored by Hyatt House. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience. “I’m hungry.” “I need a snack.” “What do you want for dinner?” Of course, that’s no different than any other day, but when we are traveling or on the road, the answers are so much more fun. As much … Read More about Hotel living while feeling like a local
FROZEN Trivia from Disney on Ice
I’ve been FROZEN obsessed since I got a sneak peak of the movie. Then, the girls joined me the day it came out on DVD. And, then B and I got pictures with Anna and Elsa! Yep, we love those two love-confused sisters. It was even, what’s the name of FROZEN princess sisters? That’s right Elsa and Anna who … Read More about FROZEN Trivia from Disney on Ice
15 hours to family | Happy Mama Moment
About two and a half weeks ago, we got confirmation of some not-so-good health news from a family member (not my new/business to tell, I don’t think). I told Mr. Serious that we needed to look at the calendar and figure out how to get to Houston for a visit before school starts. There was … Read More about 15 hours to family | Happy Mama Moment
From Houston….Mommy and Me Monday | 232nd ed
Atlanta to Houston (well, suburbs to suburbs) should take approximately 13 hours. It took us 14 on the way there and 15 on the return. We debated splitting it up into two drives (leaving after dinner and driving a couple hours, and stopping at a hotel) and decided against it. Our kids don’t sleep in … Read More about From Houston….Mommy and Me Monday | 232nd ed
5 things to never say to a large family and 5 alternatives
We did it! We flew across the country from Atlanta to Los Angeles to go to Disneyland with 4 kids (ages 7, 5, 2 and 3 months). No, we aren’t crazy. Yes, we lived to tell about it! I’d go so far as to say we had a great time, too. Making memories! We got … Read More about 5 things to never say to a large family and 5 alternatives
She held my hand
“Go upstairs and pick out a dress you want to wear and change into it” I said. “A dress? Where are we going? Why do I need a dress?” She asked with even more questions coming. She tried on 4 different dresses before deciding on one I pulled out of the clean laundry. “This one … Read More about She held my hand

And then I put a book on their heads | Happy Mama Movement | $125 giveaway
It’s hard not to harp on the fact that these kids are growing. And they won’t stop anytime soon. Also, so is our grocery budget! Because man these girls must be growing by the second…they can eat. Of course, it makes me happy to see them growing and changing and developing into their own little … Read More about And then I put a book on their heads | Happy Mama Movement | $125 giveaway
Summertime and the Livin’s Easy
alternate title: School’s out for summer! Preschool has already ended for the school year. 1st grade ends next week. I admit. I’m not one of those moms that gets all excited about summer home with all of the kids. We all do better with breaks from each other. Including the kids getting breaks away from … Read More about Summertime and the Livin’s Easy
I found my people and my drive
As an adult, finding my people has been a challenge. I found them in pockets at grad school. I found a few when I starting teaching. We have a couple from church. But I’ve never been one to really truly feel like I fit in. Always a bit of an outsider in large groups. Then I … Read More about I found my people and my drive
Soothing your babies with the LALABU Soothe Shirt™
It’s tricky business figuring out your new baby. Each and every one of them is different and they each like to be comforted and soothed in different ways. For example, my first three girls loved/love their pacifiers. B, on the other hand? You would think you are putting a toxic poison in her mouth. She … Read More about Soothing your babies with the LALABU Soothe Shirt™

It’s time to get fit | UFC Gym Perimeter
It’s high time to get this body back in shape. Before I got pregnant with B, I was in great shape and actually weighed less than I did in high school. I need to get back to that place!

That one time with the milkshake
A few weeks ago, our niece (aka the milkshake) came to visit for the weekend. Solo. At 6 months old, she had her first sleepover at our house. Just like any other time something big is happening, the older kids were on a need-to-know basis and didn’t know she was coming to visit until Mr. … Read More about That one time with the milkshake
