That might be the understatement of the year for some of you, but I know that while I was working at Dunkin', there were definitely days where I had absolutely zero time to get dinner on the table. Between homeschooling and errands and home stuff and reading stories and wiping faces and all the things, … [Read more...]
Calm
Whether or not you're part of the trend, chances are over the past month you've seen people post about their Word of the Year. And while I haven't had a chance to share mine yet, I did choose one. My word this year is calm. This word came to me a day or two after Christmas, when I was in the middle of influenza, which I caught from two of my children. We had relatives visiting, I had finished a busy weekend of work at Dunkin' a few days before, I had barely finished the Christmas … [Read more...]
Pajama Tuesdays
On Mondays, we do grocery shopping. On Wednesdays, we go to the library. And on Tuesdays, we wear pajamas. My children know this now.

Somewhere around 5:30am: Sarah starts whining AGAIN. I pull her into our bed for the third time since my … [Read more...]
Getting Food On The Table When It’s Hard
What's for dinner? Or lunch? What's for snack? What's for breakfast? I don't know about you, but I hear these questions constantly at my house. And while I've been able to cut down on them slightly by having our menu board on the fridge for those who can read, I still always have people asking me what food we're having next. And even once I've taken the step to plan out meals and snacks for seven people (which is a big ordeal), and I've done the shopping (which is an even bigger ordeal), … [Read more...]
