Christmas in one of those holidays that brings up a lot of questions and even more excitement. It is a time of year to believe and hope, take a leap of faith and trust, give freely for the sake of giving and rejoice in that which we have and will receive. As the mom of 2 young boys, I am blessed to see...

Another wonderful month! Happy Thanksgiving and I wish you a joyous holiday season! Off to make another Mommy Milestone.

The old saying "do not judge someone unless you have walked in their shoes" has lost a bit of meaning on a 4 year old. AJ met someone that is considered a special needs child. I am not sure what that means with regards to this child but he seems to blurt things out and appears disruptive if...

My kids have an amazing way of bringing up topics that are on my mind even when I do not bring them up myself. We were on our way home from school and AJ told me that he wished that we had a bigger family. I had been asking him how his day was and out the blue came, "I want another brother and sister...

Halloween reeked havoc on the mind of our little boy. Boo is a firm believer that a ghost, monster and the occasional dinosaur enter our home at night and cause the creaks and squeaks that can be heard once the lights go out. AJ’s no help because he continues to make booing and howling noises in our...

He and Boo practice karate moves with a resounding KIA and a desire to outdo one another with high kicks and new punches. Thank goodness one of the karate creeds is to only use karate to help people or...

Time goes by so fast and I can hardly believe that my little baby boy is turning 2! It doesn’t feel like 2 years have gone by but when I look at baby boo, he isn’t a baby anymore. He is running and playing with his big brother, talking up a storm (of which we understand about 50%), making choices, going...

AJ and I were talking about school and I asked who he played with on the playground. Much to my surprise he got a little shy, blushed, and said, "I don’t know." As his mother, I know that this is code for "I am embarrassed and am not sure if I should tell you." I let it go for a minute...

AJ broke out in a horrible rash over his face and neck. At first I thought that it was a heat rash but then began to wonder if it might be something more serious. I noticed that AJ had tiny red bumps on his face and neck while we were outside playing. He was hot and sweaty and it looked like the rash...
