Hudson has been cosleeping for weeks. Right now I’m OK with it, but we don’t plan to keep it this way. It’s 4am & I am wide awake. And I took these: It kills me how much they look alike when they sleep. Is it weird that Scott and Hudson look most alike with their [...]

I have a new parenting issue that has been slowly creeping up on me. Hudson has been in his big boy bed for a few months & for the most part it goes really well. He does run around for a while in his room every night. He does climb in bed with Tru & [...]

I am having a really hard month. I need more time in this month. I really do. I need it to last just a week or two longer so I am able to take care of some REALLY important things. But, I know it might not and because of this, things are just going to [...]

So, like an idiot, I woke up this morning & decided that I was ready to leave the house BY MYSELF with all three kids. Yes, I do know they are almost 10 weeks old, but I had never gotten up the courage to brave going into public with all three in tow. The 3:1 [...]
