Dear Son #1, #2, & #3, It’s been the little things, hasn’t it? The little things that have kept us reasonably sane these last 15 months. The little things that we’ve had to look forward to. The little things that have morphed themselves into big things. All of a sudden, we lost play dates, grandparent visits,… Continue reading When the little things become the big things.
Dear Son #1, #2, & #3, “Ewwwww they're kissing!!” Something we hear frequently around our house because, well, what can I say? Daddy and I like to kiss. Plus, we do it to gross you out a lot too. That’s always fun. Today marks Mommy and Daddy’s 15th wedding anniversary. Which means we’ve been married 15 years but actually kissing… Continue reading Mommy and Daddy sit-in’ in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
Dear Son #1, #2, #3, A few weeks ago, as I was attempting to reclaim my youth and join you for a jump on a trampoline, one of you asked me: “Should Mommies jump on trampolines?” And it got me thinking. Heck no. We shouldn’t. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to keep… Continue reading Why Mommies shouldn’t jump on trampolines.
Dear Son #1, #2, & #3, Today is Mother’s Day, a holiday that originated in 1907 to honor mothers and mother figures and everything they do for us. While I have always been of the mind that this should be done throughout the year and not necessarily just on one day, I'll take what I… Continue reading The Fog.
Dear Son #3, Mommy and Daddy are a bit geeky and enjoy dipping into the odd SciFi show occasionally. One of our favorites, "Stargate SG1", has a character known as Linea The Destroyer of Worlds. She was an incredibly sweet, beautiful and charismatic character with a very dark side. Now, I'm not saying that you would create… Continue reading The Destroyer of Worlds
Dear Son #1, #2, & #3, We’re back in the Red Zone again (yes, I do feel like I'm living in a Stephen King novel at the moment) which means we can go swimming again!! Yipee! I’m here, once again, to remind you of the rules. I know right? I’m such a hoot. Now, as… Continue reading Swimming just isn’t fun without rules!
Dear Son #1, #2, & #3, Phew. It’s been a tough year in some respects, hasn’t it? Soon we are coming up to a year since Mommy and Daddy first told you about “The Bad Cold”. A year since so many things changed. We can’t see the people we love, we haven’t been to school, we have… Continue reading “F It”.
Dear Son #1, #2, & #3, Boys, let’s talk love. It’s Valentine’s Day today, hence why Pieter’s been slaving away every day writing Valentine’s cards. Each card more painful (for me) than the next. But one day you will thank me when you have legible handwriting. Moving back on topic though, what is Valentine’s Day?… Continue reading The top 10 Valentine’s gifts you can give all year long. You’re welcome.
Dear Son #1, #2, & #3, As I write this post (FYI, I started writing this last Monday night), school is done for the day, as well as play time, screen time, down time, outdoor time, reading time and meltdown time. You have been fed, bathed and put into bed with the usual Bedtime Threes… Continue reading “Just” a Stay-At-Home-Mom.
Dear Son #1, #2, & #3, That’s right, it’s true. The big day is almost here – CHRISTMAS! Gaaahhh let’s go crazy!! This year, however, I decided instead of presents I would write you a poem. Isn’t that special, unique and beautiful? I thought you were getting a bit tired of opening gifts every single Christmas. So, give your… Continue reading ‘Twas the night before Christmas at the Kiezebrink house…
