The Glamorous Life of a Housewife

It's amazing how fast you forget things. It was only two and a half short years ago that Weebie was a baby, and there are already so many things I can't remember! I am crossing my fingers that it all comes flooding back to me after Ezra arrives, but there is no guarantee. One o…

When Levi was around ten months old, we took him to Sesame Street Live. He got to pick out a toy and he chose a little stuffed Ernie. Not long after that, he really took to him and had to sleep with him every night. Before Ernie, Levi never had any sort of attachment to a stuffed anima…

I think one of the toughest parts of parenting a toddler is the sick days. They're just so little and so helpless, it's heartbreaking to watch them hurt. Levi is at the age where he can tell us what doesn't feel good or what aches, and that really helps eliminate "the g…

I have been really challenged (read: convicted) lately, by the upkeep of the home and my role in it. It all started a couple of weeks ago when I purged each room of it's junk and had a total organizational overhaul. My house needed it desperately, and when I finally did it, I wonder…

The picture looks different in each household, but most every family has one. The "easy" parent and the "hard" parent .... also loosely known as the Disciplinarian and the Softie. (NOT to be mistaken for a pushover.) The Hard Parent has the reputation for being firm i…

If there was one central theme to last week, it would without question be: Potty Training. We began on Wednesday and stepped through quite a journey for the next couple of days. I wanted to document it so that I could look back on this one day when I go through it again with future chil…

Well, folks. We have embarked on the overwhelming journey of Potty Training. Levi has shown signs for a while that he is ready to go in the potty, but I have been waiting on a few things before we jumped in full-force. It's funny that it doesn't matter how ready for something a…

Saturday morning, Levi woke up and the left side of his face was covered in welts that were red and swollen. I had recently put a new sheet on his bed (that had been washed, mind you), but it was a thick sheet that was kind of furry (not furry, but you know - soft...not like a regular co…

I love throwing out compliments left and right. It's just something I've always done and it brings me joy to see people light up when you brag on them. It's just fun. I, too, love getting compliments (I mean, who doesn't?), but I have great trouble receiving them. I nev…

I've just about decided that restaurants should have two seating options: Child Friendly / Not Child Friendly. I am a very easy going girl. I don't get my feathers ruffled too often and it takes a lot to get me really mad. However, if you mess with my family, the claws come out …

You host a play date with several other moms and babies and you transform your living room into a play gym in a matter of minutes. Seriously, being a mom is so much fun!

Let me just be honest here. With Husby's knowledge in the field of medicine, he is aware of all types of good little nuggets of information when it comes to health and Weebie. He also knows the patterns of children and the different stages they go through and when they go in and out…

You know how you can go through life seeing things all the time, but not think twice about them because they don't apply to you? And then suddenly you hit a stage of life when they do apply and you think to yourself, "how did I not know about this all of those years?" Well,…

In the Mother's Day card that I wrote to my Mom, I told her how when I was growing up, she always made everything look and seem so easy. And that it wasn't until now that I am an adult with a child of my own, that I see how HARD it is to make it look easy. Looking back on my chi…

Sometimes I look around at the house at the end of the day and think to myself, "how did I break my back working all day long and still have SO much left undone"? Well, the other day I decided to jot down a few things that happened in my day and as I sat on the couch that eveni…

Something I have discovered about this wonderful journey of Motherhood is that it is ever changing. When one thing is mastered, they move on to a new challenge. When one routine is established, they change it up a few weeks later. Communication changes. Naps change. Meals change. Prefe…

I polled my lovely Facebook friends on this topic yesterday and I received some great tips so I thought I would broaden my horizon and ask you kind folks as well. I need some suggestions and I need them N.O.W. My little love button, you know the one ... well, he likes to scream. It's …

I see more parallels to my relationship with Christ through parenting more than any other area of my life. It seems that from the moment I discovered I was pregnant with my sweet child, the Lord began more clearly revealing Himself to me and in aspects that I'd never fully grasped. …

*Note! This is not a compensated review - simply my thoughts and feelings on products that I have found on my own. I think it's fun to see what other Moms out there can and can't live without in different stages of their children's lives. This new Stage of Mobility that we are…
