After we spent the morning at Natural Bridge Caverns and then recuperated after “the incident,” we headed back to take a tour of Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. I didn’t remember that we had ever been to a drive through safari before, but my husband reminded me that we went to one years ago. Then I… [continue reading]
The rest of the story, traveling with kids #humor
Natural Bridge Caverns was breathtaking. It really was. But if you’ve ever been on vacation with kids, you know that no matter how perfect the destination, sometimes it’s just not picture perfect. The first night at a hotel is always rough. It’s tough to get the kids to sleep, so they don’t get enough rest,… [continue reading]
I went into hysterics at Sam’s Club
I have been so busy since the beginning of September. We came home from our vacation and school started that next week. We go to programs for homeschooling families twice a week this year, so that alone has ramped up our schedules. I have also been super busy on my blog with sponsored campaigns. I’m… [continue reading]
Hand Raising
I didn’t grow up with hand raising during the worship service at church. I have been around people that raise their hands while singing, and it never bothered me or anything like that, but I just have never felt like doing it myself. We go to a small, family integrated church where we sing mostly… [continue reading]
Yes, they are all mine!
I’m adding “Are they all yours?” to my Annoying Things People Say list. I’m actually quite surprised it wasn’t on there. It is something I’m asked quite often, but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten through a grocery shopping trip with the kids at Walmart without someone asking me. So the other day in mental… [continue reading]
Funny Kids Quotes: Remarriage
Over supper last night the kids asked their dad if he knew how to make my Sopa recipe. “He doesn’t but it’s on the blog,” I said, “so if I die just go to my blog and print it out.” “I wouldn’t ever want another mother!” one of the girls exclaimed. “If I die your… [continue reading]
How Embarrassing!
We’ve been having issues with our air conditioners. In fact we had three different repair men here last week! The last one came Friday evening. Friday was Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A. Jason surprised me and wanted to go. So we quickly made him a cow costume like the rest of ours and he enjoyed… [continue reading]
Embarrassing Kids Quotes
“Cracker” was one of the first words of all of my children. When moving to solids, crackers are one of the few things you can give a baby that they can eat by themselves with no worry of choking, and I think all of my babies have subsisted on crackers for months of their lives. … [continue reading]
Married to an engineer
So we have had some issues with the refrigerator on and off the last few weeks. Saturday night my husband went to get a drink, put his hand on the outside of the fridge and declared, “This thing’s hot. Something’s wrong with it.” I didn’t see my husband for the next hour but heard all… [continue reading]
The right place at the right time in the right clothes
Last Saturday I had the exciting opportunity to take two of my kids to Six Flags. I wanted to make sure and be there in plenty of time so we actually got to the entrance an hour before the park opened. As we were walking up to get our tickets I noticed a table set… [continue reading]
