Daddy’s Parenting Wisdom

Toulouse — Thu, 13 Jul 2017 22:24:53 +0000

This post was actually written 3 years ago but my husband’s wisdom stands the test of time. Read it and weep (with laughter). This past weekend, I left my husband and the boys here to fend for themselves while I went to BlogU. To their credit, I barely heard from them the entire time I was […]

Toulouse — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 13:23:45 +0000

I have two boys, and even though I grew up with only sisters, I’m now in a male-centric household. It’s me, my husband, two crazy boys and a dog. At least the dog’s a girl. Solidarity, sister! <fist/paw bump> Between the constant stinky feet, pee all over my bathroom and boogers wiped on my furniture, some times […]

*Post may contain affiliate links I don’t know about you but I come from a girly family and until I had boy children, I had never had a single conversation about dinosaurs (lucky me) that didn’t involve Land of the Lost.

DIY Construction Birthday Cake

Toulouse — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:19:15 +0000

I’m more of a #craftfail mom most of the time but my DIY Construction Birthday Cake left everybody wowed, including Today.com. And best of all, it involved only 3 easy steps. My 3yo is nuts about everything construction. One of his first frequent words was “digging.” Every single time we’d drive by even the most minimal of […]

26 Ways To Make Sure Your Future Daughter-in-law Loves You.

Toulouse — Mon, 17 Feb 2014 01:51:24 +0000

Although I wanted daughters my whole life, I ended up having two awesome boys instead. I’ve always been a bit of a guy’s girl so in the end, someone knew better than I did. But coming from a family of all girls, I was really scared when I found out I was carrying a member […]

Mommy, Will You Marry Me?

Toulouse — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:47:00 +0000

At their request, I was wrestling with the boys last night and they said they wanted to “double team” me. Ick. That reminded me of this post so I thought I’d share it with you again. Last night, my kindergartner offered me a garish pink ring with a big crown on it and asked me […]
