I have found that one of the most challenging parts of staying home with the kids is that they are on completely different schedules. Of course this will get easier as they grow, but some days (like today) it sucks the life out of me. Hubs got home this afternoon, took one look at me … Continue reading Mama Needs a ‘Time Out’.
‘C’ You Later!
We are just getting ready to say 'c' you later! to C week. We had another great LoW week!

Appreciation Post … to the woman who took care of my babies.
It was not an easy thing for me to leave my helpless infant with a stranger. Somehow, you made it bearable. It was never expected that you be more than a daycare provider. However, you are always there when I need you. I never anticipated that I would spend time with you outside of work. … Continue reading Appreciation Post … to the woman who took care of my babies.
