Season of Gratitude
Tis the season to give thanks, and us moms have so much to be thankful for. It is so easy to say we are thankful, but are we living a life of gratitude? We are all guilty to some degree of taking things for granted. It’s easy to get caught up in the routine of life and start feeling like you want more. Maybe it’s a bigger house, nicer car, more clothes, more travel, or even more Christmas presents for the kids. Please do not read that the wrong way. It’s perfectly acceptable to want nice things. I also like nice things. Do I have any right now? No, I…

New Urgent Care for Children in Mobile, Alabama
To the parents that can relate to having a sick child every week after starting daycare, or a child that starts running a high temp on a Saturday morning, or even one that fell and split their chin open right before bedtime, we have been there. It is the absolute worst to see our babies not feeling well or hurt and we know the dread of an emergency room visit when the pediatrician’s office isn’t open. Raising kids is not for the faint of heart and as moms of boys we can honestly say we foresee many more unexpected visits to the doctor in our future. While we are not…

Cleaning Tips for Moms
I recently had a fellow mom of four over for a playdate. She remarked that our house was significantly cleaner than her own. Don’t get this confused with my house was super clean or that we don’t have any marks on the walls. Trust me we could use some paint touch ups. However, I do try to keep it somewhat tidy and I do have a few tips for doing so that I thought I would share. As parents, I am sure you can relate to my feelings of irritation on trying to clean around the kids, along with the frustration of them undoing it all in 3 seconds. It’s…

One Year Blogging Anniversary
This month makes one year since we published our first blog post. What a year it has been! Since then, we have been through a pandemic, welcomed two little boys into the family and created several posts. We still have a lot to learn when it comes to navigating the ins and outs of the blogging world, but we have enjoyed the journey so far. We wanted to share a few things about what we have learned over the past year and what we hope to accomplish going forward. What we have learned Perfect is not relatable In the beginning, it was so hard to hit publish on some of…

10 Easter Basket Ideas 2021
As Easter Sunday is fast approaching, all you Easter Bunnies may need some help or suggestions on what the kids may want to find in their baskets. Let me start out by telling you there is absolutely not a thing wrong with buying a prefilled basket if that relieves you from stress! Personally, we like to fill our kids’ baskets ourselves and there are a lot of different ways to do it. So first, you will need a basket. Personalization Mall and Pottery Barn Kids has a lot of cute options with monogrammed names. Lillian Vernon has fewer choices, but offers $1.99 shipping. Possibly one of the easiest tools for…

Toddler Gift Guide
Wondering what to get the kids for Christmas this year? I have a few ideas for you. After such an insane year, I suspect a lot of parents are looking forward to the holiday season with their loved ones. While we are still recovering from all the worldly happenings, we hope the holidays will bring joy and cheer to those we love, which is why being Santa is so much fun.Personally, I am not an extravagant gift giver when it comes to my toddlers. They are just not at an age to care enough about what’s in the box versus the box itself. This year my oldest will be four…

NICU Awareness Month: Our Stories-Triplets
The air was cold, but my blood was boiling. I felt tired and weak. My mind was messy, but my scattered brain only had one goal. See my boys. I of course wanted to hold my boys, but per the many prep talks with the doctors, nurses, and other triplet moms, I knew I would not be able to do that even though I had made it to my 34 week goal. The squeaking of the hospital bed, my husband’s voice conversing with the nurse, and the sheer buzz of the corridor were faint background noises to the sound of my own heartbeat due to my nervousness. Somehow, whoever was…
