Obviously, I want you to follow your own path as I want you to be happy and… Continue reading What you should not be when you grow up.

Dear Son #2,  “What the---OMG ewww.” **insert girlish squeak here** “Not cool buddy, that's just nasty.”  Just in case you had forgotten, I know I never will, this is what it sounded like when I pulled a huge – and I mean re-hydrated back to grape status – raisin out of your nose last weekend. How long had it been in… Continue reading The raisin.

Dear Son #1, #2, & #3,   People ask me why I write this blog and I do for a few reasons: I want to remember all of these crazy things so I can share them on your wedding day(s).

Dear Son #1, #2, & #3,   We did it! We survived! We had fun! We made memories! We probably got ourselves banned from the hotel forever but there’s lots of them to choose from so no matter!

Dear Son #3,   You are six months today, wow time flies.

Dear Son #1,   The countdown is over. The big day is here.   I packed your robot backpack with your spare underwear and socks. Your Toy Story lunch box is packed with way more than you eat in a day. And I labelled everything except you.   It’s your first day of school. And Mommy’s a hot… Continue reading First Day of School.

Dear Son #1, #2, & #3,   Are you ready for this? Mommy lies to you.   That’s right.   To your face with no shame.   And you know what?  One day you’ll be telling these exact same lies to your sproglets because sometimes it just makes life that much easier and Mommy that… Continue reading 10 lies that keep me sane.

Dear Son #1, #2, & #3,   I’m going to start this off by saying I love you three like crazy and I love being your mom. I love the fun we have together, I love how stinking cute you all are and I love how you make me laugh.   But sometimes being a… Continue reading Being a mom is freakin’ hard.

Dear Son #1, There are 37 more days until the first day of school. Not that I’m counting (because things will be incredibly quiet and dull here without you) but I think we’re both ready. We’ve got your backpack, lunch box, water bottle, spare clothes and shoes, and even those cute, overpriced Paw Patrol labels… Continue reading Why I will not be homeschooling.

Dear Son #2,   We love you. We love your sweet nature and cheerful disposition; we love your curiosity and sense of humor; we love your endless energy (most days) and your cute snuggles.   You know what we don’t love?  Puppy.   Sorry buddy, we don’t love Puppy.   A couple of months ago Puppy joined our family… Continue reading Puppy.
