My kids are talkers. Big, BIG talkers. Master conversationalists. It's like when God was doing His thing (You know, the "knitting together in the mother's womb" routine from Psalm 139), He collaborated with Busta Rhymes - and whoever invented the filibuster. And then my kids were born. And when it comes to topics, we cover [...]
Deep conversations with my almost-two-year-old: 7.9.21 Adrianne: "I love you, buddy." Nash: "Thank you." Nash: "I have fingernails... (long pause) ...and I have fingernails on my feet too." https://videopress.com/v/Hj19MLaQ?preloadContent=metadata Honey Mustard Kisses. My fav. Good talk, pal.
We had a play-date yesterday that started at 3 p.m. We rolled in at 3:30. Why?

Kirklands is selling Warm Vanilla Spice scented candles and the grocery stores have restocked the pumpkin pie creamer. [...]
I believe that karma is very real, especially when it comes to parenting. For example, Piper is a "good eater." Since she was old enough to put solids in her mouth (starting at four months because home-girl LOVES to eat), she has been willing to try anything Tye and I have put in front of [...]
We clean up a lot of spills in our house. And when I say "we," I mean me. I'm the spill cleaner-upper. If spilling was an Olympic sport, both my children would take the gold, year after year. There would be no competition. They're both winners. They're the spill king and queen. They spill in [...]
Oh my word! Adele Cabanillas has done it again with her magical, bright and creative photography - capturing my tiny family in our little brick house in the most delightful way. My heart can hardly stand it. Funny (but mostly humbling and horribly embarrassing) story... while I was feverishly cleaning our home like a madwoman to [...]
