5 year olds are amazing creatures

August 27, 2016 by Jill 1 Comment

My little B, who was my NICU baby, hilariously out-proportioning the bassinet at 9 pounds–is now my absolutely amazing 5 year old. B has been kind of a peek-a-boo genius. She plays the dumb blonde FABULOUSLY. She’s been working the ‘I love blue and trucks’ for a long time. With the approach of five delights … [Read more…]

Taking 4 kids to vote

March 15, 2016 by Jill 1 Comment

Did you vote today? I waited until my husband got home so I wouldn’t be taking all the kids with me, and then we just both voted and took them all inside anyway. It’s such a tiny place! They have cardboard dividers, and someone standing by a machine to read the votes by the out … [Read more…]

Teaching your kids the 5 finger prayer

February 16, 2016 by Jill 1 Comment

Finding an easy children’s prayer is as simple as a google search, isn’t it? Except putting them into practice can be harder than it seems. Prayers at night tend to drag on as kids decide that taking up more of mom and dad’s time is great, because it delays bedtime, but heading to bed early … [Read more…]

Scratch and sniff books?

January 7, 2016 by Jill Leave a Comment

My 2 year old is enthused with books. Just like her siblings. The issue is that she’s not as careful as she could be with them, as in she eats them half the time. I try and put educational/themed books for the holidays or whatever in the bathroom for when the kids need to ‘sit … [Read more…]

Say my name

January 4, 2016 by Jill Leave a Comment

Each kid has done it, confusing the parents names, even though they did just fine for weeks ahead of time, their mouths go faster than their brains. With the first 2, it happened over weekends. Daddy would be mommy, and then some combo of names until about Sunday afternoon and then he’d be daddy again, … [Read more…]

2 scoops

January 3, 2016 by Jill Leave a Comment

The kid was looking abashed, and it wasn’t because she was covered in ice cream… I don’t blame the other one for laughing, it was a rather odd way to describe the situation… *sigh* the things kids say.

Moments of a broken heart

December 14, 2015 by Jill 1 Comment

My 7 year old broke my heart last night. You could tell her words were coming from as deep a place as a 7 year old could pull from when she said “mom, thanks for stopping and taking the time to do my hair for me”– she was getting ready to read a passage at … [Read more…]

Where’s my…?

December 9, 2015 by Jill Leave a Comment

Our babysitter dropped by the other day, long story, but during her brief visit the kids clamored for her attention. At one point, I was nearly on the floor laughing as my 4 year old was out of sight upstairs, but clearly pretending to be in distress saying ‘where’s my breastmilk’… at which point I … [Read more…]

Are you a humbug if you don’t say ‘Merry Christmas’?!?

December 5, 2015 by Jill Leave a Comment

My oldest asked about Hanukkah yesterday, and just like anything else, I answered her honestly that it was a holiday kind of like Christmas that was celebrated by people whose religion is Judaism . She said, oh. Like Jews? And I said, yes, Jews. Simple enough. [Peg Plus Cat on PBS brought it up]… she … [Read more…]

What’s a ?!?

December 4, 2015 by Jill Leave a Comment

We were walking across a parking lot yesterday when I randomly said ‘uh oh spaghetti-o’… to which my 4 year old replied ‘mom, what’s a spaghetti-o?’ I was flabbergasted, laughing, and a touch proud all at the same time. [It brings to total recall when my then 2 year old (now 7 and totally aware) … [Read more…]
