I Did It Myself!

If you have followed this blog, you know that the majority of the home projects I do are done with my father-in-law. He is always there to help me with things and I am so grateful for him. Recently, you may recall, we got a second hand playscape. We knew it would probably need a … Continue reading I Did It Myself! →

Weekend Review

It's Monday and there is finally a bit of normalcy back in our life. It was a crazy weekend for us. Thursday, Andrew had his surgery. It went better than expected and we were grateful that many of the "possible" surgeries were not needed. This time the recovery went a bit better than the last … Continue reading Weekend Review →

Jotting Down Some Randomness

The past week has been one of change and challenges for me. I am usually not lacking things I want to write about, but the past few days have been ... well, busy. I've jotted little random thoughts in my "possible blog" notebook but none of them really warrants a full blown blog. So I … Continue reading Jotting Down Some Randomness →

She’s Movin’ On Up!

There is nothing that makes time move faster than watching your children grow. In 6 months, Ella will be 4 years old. It seems like just yesterday that I was blogging about getting her room and crib put together! Moving from the crib to a toddler bed was the next big step. This is a … Continue reading She’s Movin’ On Up! →

I won't lie, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I do know most of them and that I can have a "princess" conversation with … Continue reading Princesses and Ponies →

A Crappy (and funny) Story

Every now and then, I have to blog a story just so I won't forget it. This is one of those times. We have one of those inflatable pools for the kids. You know the ones I'm talking about? They kind of look like this: Ours is a bit bigger than the one above. We … Continue reading A Crappy (and funny) Story →

Conference, Clubs, and Croup

Conference Many readers know I work in Sleep Medicine. Every year there is a sleep conference in Detroit that we try to go to to earn our Continuing Education Units to keep our registry. That conference was last week. Sam and I drove down to Detroit early Thursday afternoon. (The kids got a sleepover at … Continue reading Conference, Clubs, and Croup →

Celebrating Summer

Yesterday was the first day of summer and my family is certainly ready for it! We got an early start a few weeks ago with our day trip to the beach in Caseville, MI. At home, we've got the big sprinkler that looks like a fire hydrant and a blow up pool in the yard … Continue reading Celebrating Summer →

Happy Father’s Day

Well, the kitten woke me up about 3:30 this morning. He's an early bird apparently. So I decided to take advantage of the kids still sleeping and I made a pot of coffee. I figured I'd read a bit. I then remembered that today is Father's Day. So I wanted to take a moment to … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day →
