Hudson, Truman & Sawyer, Music has always been very important in my life. Though I sing ridiculously off key & can can only play two songs on guitar from memory- my life and many of it’s memories involve music. It’s an amazing gift that a musician has. To be able to define moments in complete [...]

“are you going to be a good boy today? Or a bad one?” “good one. Kelsey” (my bgff (best guy friend forever)) “is a bad monkey.” “funny you’d bring him up.” “come on mom. Go ahead and give me a good monkey kiss.” Not sure what it all means, but conversations with a 32 month [...]

Truman. Sometimes I feel so guilty about you. You are my middle child, beating your sister by only two minutes. And though I WANTED Sawyer to be the youngest because there is something about having two older brothers for protection that I loved, I feel like you are missing so many things. From clothes that [...]

A long time ago, when the twins were first born I wrote a post about motherhood the way I saw it. It stirred many emotions in people because at the time I was criticizing two women who were struggling with motherhood & who also happened to have postpartum depression. And though I wasn’t criticizing postpartum depression, I [...]

Hudson may be potty trained. I’m not going to say 100%. But it may have happened. Fingers crossed. Scott decided to try the 3 day bootcamp outline from Babycenter.com on Saturday while I was out. As I said in my last post Hudson had quite a few accidents. But by Sunday he only had 1. [...]

They really are. Have I mentioned times are trying right now? Oh, well let me say it again: TIMES ARE TRYING! My day is not complete without folding into a screaming Italian mom-mess. One of them gets hurt approximately ever 1/2 hour and fights over toys happen twice as often. Right now the hierarchy is as would [...]

I have logged in a few times over the last few weeks and sat here & thought- wow it’s been so long since I’ve written that I don’t even know where to start. And summarizing just makes it sound silly. But, in all honesty, that’s probably where this post is headed. Today Scott had a [...]

Yes, I know. He is 2 years. 4 months. 19 days. 12 hrs & 25 minutes. But who’s counting?! Tonight: Hudson got his very first legit haircut. I cut off on two separate occasions in the last two years ONE LOCK of hair. Not a hair cut or trim- just a wayward lock that was [...]

Yeah, I know it’s 3 months late, but Hudson just had his 2nd 2-year appointment. I’m not sure why- the first one was in December, but they had him come back in 6 months instead of a year. I didn’t tell him where we were going for fear of a fight until I loaded all [...]

Ok, I lied. They don’t. Things that also suck: -Taking three toddlers to the doctor in a stroller for 2 while the 3rd chid refuses to walk and screams “CARRY YOU!” at the top of his lungs while you drag him through Kaiser. (But how cute is “carry you” when he means “carry me”) I [...]
