"Don't yell at my son!" The words echoed in my head and a combination of pride and panic filled my insides. In the past, when things had gotten heated with Brian and anyone else (as will happen at some points in life), I had only panicked. I went right to the "don't cause a scene" … Continue reading When Things Get Dicey With The Neighbors

The Almond Company’s Almonds. It’s Like A Treat Bag For Humans!
Like every family, we have many different tastes. We range from Lizzie and Brian who like most things and me and Antwan who dislike most things. William and Kaleb are in the middle.

In an effort to be a creative and fun mommy, I ordered a Star Wars ice tray! I thought we could experiment and put different things in it.

Recently, he robbed me of my first ever mom break when he got himself kicked out of camp. I won't go into the details but I will say that it … Continue reading My Son Wants Me To Forget His History
A Geeky House Makeover
Brian is a man who needs a hobby. When he comes home from work after a day of dealing with customers who are often less than polite, he wants to be mentally stimulated. I guess he needs to know that he is something besides Brian the store manager. Now me, after a day of momming and … Continue reading A Geeky House Makeover
Trying To Eat Healthier But I Hate Healthy Food
I'm not an adventurous eater. We all know this. Well, anyone who has gone out to eat with me knows this. 🙂 I'm not an overly healthy eater, either. Before the kids showed up, Brian and I had many conversations about how we wouldn't pass it on to our kids. The good news is Brian is adventurous. So … Continue reading Trying To Eat Healthier But I Hate Healthy Food
Becoming Kaleb’s Friend
I feel the need to write about Kaleb. He came into my life at a point when I wasn’t ready for a teenager. (To be fair, I don’t think anyone is ever ready for a teenTeenagers Need Homes, Too.ager.) I did however think I was ready and I did think I knew what I was getting … Continue reading Becoming Kaleb’s Friend
