Parenting is definitely a learning process. Some days I feel like I've got it all figured out. Some days I feel like I've got a lot to learn. Most days, it's a mixture of both.But, today, I learned why I should've resisted the temptation to hit the snooze button when I knew those kids of mine … Continue reading Was The Floor Thirsty?

It’s Not Easy To Be The Tooth Fairy –spoiler alert ;)
So, sometimes, I'm very impressed with my mom skills...and sometimes, I'm not. This week was a little of both. On Tuesday, as I was pulling into the pick-up lane at school, I could see William running to me, a little unnecessarily enthusiastically. He was going so fast that all I wanted to do was open the … Continue reading It’s Not Easy To Be The Tooth Fairy –spoiler alert 😉
Pirates Get The Best Doughnuts
I wouldn't say that I'm a huge pirate fan. But, when I heard that Krispy Kreme was giving out doughnuts on "Talk Like A Pirate Day," I suddenly became interested. Thanks to facebook, I learned that they would give a free doughnut to anyone who came in and talked like a pirate. Pretty cool! Or, they would … Continue reading Pirates Get The Best Doughnuts
Clucking for Free Chicken
This is what I love about my family. Brian came home from work and I was expecting a mostly boring night since he was planning to watch a football game. I was fine with the football, but didn't expect much excitement in my evening. So, he comes home and says that someone from work said that Pollo … Continue reading Clucking for Free Chicken

He liked the movies, but anything else that … Continue reading The Big Brother Visited, part 3.
The Big Brother Visited, Part 2
Previously on The Big Brother Visits: Emily learned lots of stuff. She learned that 12 year olds know everything, enjoy nothing that you enjoy, and enjoy getting a reaction. And, 12-year old with issues do it even more... We were hanging in there. As much as it hurt my heart, I knew it wasn't meshing like it … Continue reading The Big Brother Visited, Part 2
Onions Are For Peeling
Just when we thought things were settling down (by our standards, anyway), we learned that the biological brother of our kids had re-entered foster care. And life got interesting, again. Since finding this out, we've had 2 visits with him. Then, in just a few days, he'll be coming to visit us for 2 weeks. Wait, what? … Continue reading Onions Are For Peeling
There Are So Many Kids In Foster Care
"Nearly 81.5 million Americans have considered adopting a child. If just one in 500 of these adults adopted, every waiting child in foster care would have a permanent family." I ran across this statistic, the other day. To me, it's both inspiring and depressing. It's kind of amazing that it would take that little to solve … Continue reading There Are So Many Kids In Foster Care
