Mom's Timeout

April really isn’t all that far away and I’m just now starting to think about what I’m going to be putting in the little guy’s Easter basket this year. It’s his first Easter, but he’s still so young that candy really isn’t an option. Although, one of my long-term goals is to stay away from […]

As my husband and I left work on Friday, I mentioned making a quick stop and picking up a few things at the store. I informed him that I wasn’t going anywhere else this weekend. Once we got home, that was where I was staying – there were no ifs, ands, or buts about it. […]

Ah….the dreaded snow day.  The bane of every mother’s existence.  Either you have to arrange for daycare, if you work, or you have to…..wait for it….entertain them.  And, considering you didn’t take those education classes, or crafting classes, how in the hell do you do that?  Isn’t a non-stop TV marathon on PBS enough?  Not […]

  We all love the Holiday season. We can easily rattle off the reasons why.  Hate isn’t an emotion we usually associate with the season of love & giving, but I’m willing to bet you’re at least mildly annoyed by some of the things on this list. Pick your all-time favorite thing to hate on […]

This Jingle Bells Parody is the perfect song to match most of our Christmas hectic-ness, don’t you think? It gets crazy, crazy around my house this time of year. So much to do, so many songs playing! Ahh, but this one I like! Enjoy! Happy Holidays everyone!    

This baby girl is only 15 months old and she has the most impressive speech and understanding that I have ever seen at this age! I’m always impressed by the abilities of baby’s to understand us adults. No matter how many times I see it, I still can’t get over how incredibly awesome this transition is! […]

What a lucky girl she is! Her groom and his groomsmen took to the dance floor and surprised her with an amazing choreographed dance on their wedding day! I love things like this! And they’re looking good too! What is the most sweetest thing your husband did on your wedding day to surprise you? 

This dad’s reaction to his wife’s announcement that she’s pregnant is priceless!!! Giving him a present with clues in it is such an awesome idea, don’t you think? Makes me wish I were pregnant all over again just to do a surprise like this! LOL Does anyone have a great pregnancy announcement story that tops […]
