It’s a simple question. “What was the best part of your day?” I don’t think that enough parents ask it.. we’re in the second week of kindergarten and I watch parents in the pick up line, on their phones (not anymore THANK YOU Texas for passing no cell phones in school zones!), or exasparated and…
I got to Monkey’s pre-school today in time to see him lying on his nap-mat gnawing on his shirt with his boots on the floor and his feet in the air. This mom = proud! Monkey catches sight of me, and the grin that splits his face leaves me in a sloppy puddle of mommy…
I remember the first time that I laid out clothes for you. They were size Newborn and you were still safely nestled in my womb. I remember the first time that I dressed you for a big occasion in special clothes, you were two weeks old and they were pictures with Santa. It boggles my…
Four and a half hours people… that’s how long I rocked that look before anyone noticed.

One Monkey One Princess and One leftover vanilla Frosty that was put in the freezer. Sounds like a recipe for disaster right? A sure recipe for a fight and lots of screaming and crying, right? I thought that too.. but, my kids surprised me again. Here’s their solution. You know what I think of those…

I am honored to be here, in the wonderful land of Monkeys and Princesses. I love visiting Rachel for her delicious recipes, sweet stories and loving tributes to her family. While I adore my children to death too, I tend to be slightly more Scary Mommy (at least that’s what they tell me.) Thank you,…
The two most important men in my life are my Daddy and Nathan, my Husband. (Monkey doesn’t count because he’s a Man in Training. He’s the Most Important Boy) I know that they will understand that today, Father’s Day, I am dedicating this post to a Father whose little girl is no longer in his…
