A date night with a little boy means pizza, ice cream AND a cookie, go-cart races, video games, prizes, and mom and dad. Knowing that each of our kids are special, unique and individuals, we try to set aside time for one on one with Mommy and Daddy for each of them. Right after Lucy was born, we got to take Caedmon to see Cars 2 at the movie theater [ Read More ]
…or as some call it, a Puree Party…I have one of these messy celebrations for my littlest Best 2 or 3 times a month through each babyhood in our home…and I LOVE it! And the best part, it’s super easy and saves our family lots of money! …easy and cheap, I’m all over that! So here’s how I do it all… 1. Buy the food. I buy most at the [ Read More ]
When Caedmon was a baby, his first bites weren’t homemade, but eventually, I was making everything he ate with the exception of a few jars of bought food to take with us on the go.

He’s been taking a single 3 hour nap since he was almost two and a half and it was glorious…until his third birthday when he began staying up until past [ Read More ]
Caedmon has had the stomach flu for the past 24 hours. It has been an eye opening 24 hours. I’ve never felt so helpless than when I was holding his little head while he threw up in a bowl. Parenting is hard. The daily grind of taking care of kids and offering discipline and love and wisdom and time and energy really takes it out of me on a daily [ Read More ]

A few minutes later, they ran into the living room where all the adults were so that they could get more toys to haul back into the bedroom, when I noticed something…Caedmon had blood all over his face and hand!
