Bedtime

Written by

Bedtime. It is a time of day that draws the line in the sand between parents and children. One is desperate for the day to end and quiet to finally reign. The other side is ready for a few more hours of rough and tumble play. We are getting ready to begin a new school […]

Yes Mom.

Written by

I have been trying to, this past year, be more of a “yes” mom. I have been trying to say “no” only to things that really aren’t a good idea. If something makes a mess, we will clean it up. If something takes some time, I will make it. So the other day, I had […]
