A peek at the week….inside my womb: Fruit/Veggie Comparison: Baby is the size of an heirloom tomato. Shape: Pregnant with a side of ‘oh you wanted to reach THAT? no no no! your belly is in the way!’ Food: My older kids steal from the outside, the baby steals from the inside.

Today something kind of funny happened. My oldest asked if my toddler still could nurse. It was an innocent (but loaded) question. Because immediately she asked to nurse.

I have no idea what game they’re playing. Something that involved the removed booster seat, felt noodles, and sitting in the early spring sunshine. Don’t mind the mop and cleaner. Sometimes you just have to get that special picture, regardless of what’s in the background. They look aglow don’t they? So very very blessed.

My big kid is a big reader. More than once I’ve been asked what program we use to get her to read. What did I buy, what did I do, what can THEY do to help their kids? Let’s face it, reading is a BIG part of our lives. You’re doing it right now without … [Read more…]
