So your son wants to be a ballet dancer?

11/22/2013 by Kate P. Leave a Comment

I came across this video a couple of days ago as I was looking through my Facebook feed about toys for girls that aren’t marketed towards all things pink, dolls, & cooking. Watch it, it’s a short 2 minute video, & it’s awesome!   Ever since having a girl, I have been really focused on making sure that she knows […]

Selling a House: Running, Cleaning & Crying

Our house has been on the market since September 27 & trust me, we have learned A LOT the last month & a half on how to live in a house while selling one! 1. Bed skirts are your friend! Can’t find a place for husband’s hideous  big computer table? Fold it down & hide it under […]

I took the day off & became Twitter Famous

I took the day off & became Twitter Famous

How often do you take a break from responsibility? I mean, true breaks! Not a day where someone takes the kids & you spend your time working or running errands, but a break where you have time to yourself. Today, I had such a break. The first break that was all about what I wanted to […]

This crazy, busy life

08/09/2013 by Kate P. Leave a Comment

Two kids. My husband. The dog. Selling a house. Or wanting to sell a house. Go to church. Cook meals. Clean up meals. Entertain kids. Nap time. Cook another meal. Clean up another meal. No wait, too tired to clean up. That can wait. Put the kids to bed. Do the dishes. Wash the windows. […]

Privacy & Kids

Come back on Monday & you will find a giveaway! Don’t miss it! Lately, I’ve been filling up my personal Facebook feed with all kinds of pictures of the baby. But there haven’t been too many of Lboy on there (or on the blog for that matter.) Back in November, Lboy flat out asked me […]

Yes, he calls me Kate…

Yes, he calls me Kate…

…No I do not care. 😉 I get a lot of questions about this…so I thought I’d write a post about it. Lboy calls Todd & I by our first names. We are Kate & Todd about 50% of the time and then Mommy & Daddy the other 50%. It is starting to become less […]

Quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep….

10/08/2012 by Kate P. 2 Comments

Today, I won’t be blogging, I won’t be cleaning, I won’t be doing anything, except spending time with my kids. This poem explains it all. Hope you have a great day “rocking your babies.” Song For a Fith Child, by Ruth Hamilton. 1958 Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth empty the dustpan, poison […]

Essence of Now: Playtime

Essence of Now: Playtime

This week we ran in a 5k with good friends (well, I ran behind the good friends. 🙂 )…. We didn’t worry about messes, instead we built train tracks…. We decided that we needed a tent & it became our “book nook.” We did story time, we went on a “bear hunt”, & we even […]

Internet: The worst technological invention ever

Internet: The worst technological invention ever

I was browsing through Kludgy Mom’s idea bank tonight & came across one that says to write about what you think is the worst technological invention ever. Ironically, I would say it’s the internet. The internet is the place where pregnant women start Googling the signs of miscarriage and convince themselves that they’ve had one […]

Is staying home the right choice?

10/01/2012 by Kate P. 8 Comments

Is staying home the right choice?

A direct consequence of major life changes, the good ones and the bad ones, is how much I over analyze everything. It’s exhausting to be quite frank. I’ve had two major changes this year, one is a beautiful new daughter. The other was the loss of my grandmother.  At her funeral, I was able to get up and […]
