When I was little, being an adult seemed so cool. As a child, you don't tend to see a lot of the "behind the scenes" of being an adult. You just see an independent person who can spend money on cool things. You see things differently. Secrets, adult whispers, seem so cool. Parenting and having... Continue Reading →
About a month ago I posted about our Sunday Funday where we were finally able to find a VCR. Do People even still own these? I have owned a few VCR's in the last 7 or so years. Why? Well, like a lot of people growing up in the 80s and 90s, my family owned a video... Continue Reading →
It's 1:31am, thunder is rolling in once again. I'm laying here with a backache, thinking about random things. October is almost over. That is 10 months out of the 12 that we are alotted each year. 10 months that have already gone by, but feeling more like 3. I have always heard older people tell... Continue Reading →
Today we are heading out for a family camping (in a cabin) trip for the weekend. By family, I mean me, Chris, the kids, my mom, stepdad, 2 of my siblings, my nephew, my uncle, my aunt, 4 of my cousins, my cousin in law, and my cousin's baby. This is the first time, since... Continue Reading →
This last week was a bit dreary. I think it rained for nearly 2 days, seemingly nonstop. I don't mind the rain, though, it can make me feel lazy. Pickle had Monday off from school.

People always talk about the terrible two's. In my old blog, which no longer exists thanks to that website, I talked about parenting a "three-nager". Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like, a three year old with the attitude of a teenager. I thought we were finally getting a grasp on Pickle's attitude. He... Continue Reading →
We have almost made it through the first month of preschool for Pickle. A couple of months ago I expressed my Preschool nervousness about him starting school. I wasn't sure how well he would adapt given his social anxiety issues. I wasn't sure how he would react when he finally realized we are not staying with him.... Continue Reading →
Today as Poppy was napping and Pickle was at preschool, I was going through some blogs. I stumbled upon one through a Facebook blogging group. Nia Simone wrote about accepting your physical self, including your natural hair. Ever since I was little, I have had thick and curly hair. At some point, my mom had started perming...

Everyday we have many choices to make. The other day I was reading an article called Non-negotiable willpower. It was talking, mostly, about excuses we use for not exercising. The concept can be applied to all aspects of life. It got me thinking, if we are so easy to form excuses for the things we want,... Continue Reading →
Pardon me while I vent for a minute. Do you ever find yourself in a situation where someone is making you mad, but instead of talking to them directly about it, you talk to everyone else but that person? Or, do you end up in situations where someone is constantly complaining to you about someone... Continue Reading →
