Top 5 Ways To Ruin Mother’s Day
Mother’s day is less than 2 weeks away and this year Mother’s day also happens to fall on my birthday. Yay me.

Baby Needs A New Pair Of Shoes
In the interest of purging and trying to create a simpler life with less “stuff” tying me down, I realized that my children have an obscene amount of shoes. In fact I pulled them all out and found that after 3 boxes of shoes in storage they have over 100 pairs of shoes between 4 kids! I weeded out at … Continue reading
How To NOT Win The Lottery
At least once a week I like to fantasize about winning the lottery. A day dreamy moment of escapism from the laundry list of things on my to-do list. Oh what a blissful life I live with 30 million in the bank. I promise I won’t forget the little people. But if you want to know the #1 tip for … Continue reading
I Shut Up
Could you stop yelling at your kids for 1 day? Could you stop yelling at your kids for 1 hour? Most of us would answer, heeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllll NO! So, I’m just going to lay it out for y’all, I yell.

TMI Tuesday
You know that “drawer” you have in your room? Come on, you know the one. That place deep in the back of your bed side table or your tall dresser where you put things for safe keeping. Things you don’t want to lose and things you don’t want to be seen…ever. Sometimes it’s a sock drawer. Sometimes it’s a junk … Continue reading
Life Is Good #97
My little babies turned 5 in March! I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. Although the birthday party was a success and fun was had by all, thanks to Petland and Nana’s spectacular cakes; later that evening we were rushing Hilary to the Children’s Hospital via 911 and an ambulance. Long story short, her tonsillectomy site was bleeding … Continue reading
I’m In The Picture (week 9)
I know it’s been a while since I posted a pic with me in it. Let’s just say, I’ve been busy and leave it at that. So this is a picture of Abby and I at her 5th birthday party. Petland brought a selection of critters for the kids to meet and greet. Some of them were furry and some, … Continue reading
Moving Sucks
That’s really all there is to it. Moving sucks. We lived in our last house for over 9 years. We bought it and moved in 2 months before I gave birth to our first child. We had 3 more babies living in that house. We had summers and Christmases, BBQ’s and birthdays in that house. We grew in that house … Continue reading
The Art Of Self Doubt: A Lesson From BlogWest
When I showed up at BlogWest in Edmonton on March 7, 2013 I didn’t expect to leave the 3 day conference feeling like a different person but I did. As soon as Julie from 3 Chickens and a Boat got into my car on the first night, I could tell that she was going to be the voice … Continue reading
Blog, Sweat & Tears: Things I learned at BlogWest
I attended my very first blogging conference over the weekend in Edmonton, Alberta. It has become apparent to me that bloggers do conferences like trekkies do Comicon, minus the face paint and spandex. It’s a way to bring fellow bloggers together to learn, connect and exchange ideas and geek out together just a bit. In it’s first anniversary, BlogWest … Continue reading
