It finally snowed!

SUNDAY FUNDAY!



We were so excited to get outside and play in the snow today...
Took 45 minutes to get ready.... (longer than we were outside!)

 I texted Lauren next door, met Audrey & Eli outside, and were ready to play! 
 Colin was NOT having it.  Check out that pout pout face!  
Not even the slide could cheer that munchkin up!


We are thrilled that this storm didn't drown us in the inches that out friends slightly south of us got.
We hope you are all safe, have lots of snacks, and wine!

He Smiles!


He cheered up just long enough to document a smile! :)
Sitting in the snow was not a favorite activity... but he LOVED seeing Brian toss the snow is the air!

I love the day after it snows, the sky is clear and the air feels clean and crisp!  
(now if only the next snow storm can come during the week!  I'm about ready for a snow day, or even just a simple delay!)

    I am so relieved you posted about this so that I didn't have to. I was expecting a winter miracle. It took me about 45 minutes to get my kids all set to go and then we went for about 12 minutes. AHHHH!

    Love, Colleen

Mom...The Potty Flipped Over

Just when you think you've got it all together.... Your son comes to tell you that there is poop on the floor.  So even though he's been potty trained for a nearly a year and ASKS for privacy when he goes, there are still mishaps.  Like, well this: He was such an easy kid to potty train...a few skittles here, a few there and BAM, bye bye diapers.  Yet, he has his quirks.  For instance, I am not sure why his own private potty ended up getting flipped over, but I do know that he was in there building a fortress with toilet paper.  It's what he does - I don't know, I tend to think it's creative and not destructive. I think my mistake was loading up the shelf with fresh new rolls (I did that at 7am).  It was all just too exciting for him. And so even though this was the first day in history that both children slept until 8am allowing me to deep clean the bathroom (again at 7am) I was right back at it at 11am. Please remind me of this as I have a full-blow

A few years ago I heard the phrase "self-care".  In fact, it was a doctor who looked me square in the face and asked me "what do you do for self-care?" I had (no joke) NEVER heard this phrase before.  NEVER.  It must have shown on my face, but she didn't even flinch and went on to ask what I did for myself.  Like without guilt to take care of myself.  I thought for a minute and listed off things like sleeping in once a week, morning showers, taking the long way home from work while listening to murder podcasts (the usual??) These apparently are not things that count as self-care.  (I mean I guess they are a little bit, but she wanted to examples of what I was doing to better my self-worth and happiness).  Even now that school started, I can't think of much -- actually,  sometimes I leave work early and eat my yogurt in my car and listen to my murder podcast for an extra 15 minutes. I find that recently there has even been a push for self-care in the

Guest Post - They Won't Get It, They'll Think I'm an Awful Mom

Guest Post:  Alicia is a friend from high school who is a full-time working mom of one adorable boy, Cooper.  She's also building a make-up empire and blowing up Facebook with wildly entertaining videos and tutorials.  She makes everything look easy, which is why this blog is just that much more important.  Thanks for sharing Alicia. I was asked to write something MONTHS ago, and I promise, the commitment to put my thoughts on paper has never left my mind.  I’m embarrassed it took me this long.  But to be honest, I couldn’t get myself to write down my story, because if I did, it would somehow make my failures more real.  (Sure, I know we’re always the hardest on ourselves, and I know I’m not a failure, but the thoughts, “could I have done better…can I DO better?” constantly run through my mind.) Let me step back for a second.  It took my husband and I well over a year to get pregnant with Cooper.  Two heartbreaking miscarriages, low progesterone and a blood-clotting diso
