What a Day!

Posted on February 2, 2019February 3, 2019 by dance0015

This week, Madilyn has been sick as I’m finishing the semester and Justin is under major stress with work. This weekend, our family plans of all going to Jake’s first hockey tournament together had to change so the boys headed to the beach and I stayed home with our girl. Today, she finally started to…

My Love Hate Relationship with Winter as a Parent

Posted on January 6, 2019January 6, 2019 by dance0015

I have always disliked winter.  I prefer long sunny days outside being warm with plenty of things to do.   For years, I would spend much of winters inside wrapped up under blankets. Depressing I know. My first winter as a parent was painful. It was cold. I was stuck inside with a newborn who I…

Top 5 books in 2019

Happy New Year!  I hope that 2019 brings you all health physically, emotionally, and financially!  Rather than trying a New Year’s resolution this year, I’m trying a word and this year, that word for me is “health.”  After having baby number 3, my life, body and mind need some balance. When I feel healthy in…

You Left Your Husband With ALL of the Kids??!?!

Posted on October 30, 2018December 3, 2018 by dance0015

      “You left your husband with ALL the kids?”  Seriously. What is this? Right along with, “Is Justin watching the kids tonight?”  For crying out loud. My husband is a DAD, just like I’m a MOM. He’s not babysitting, he’s parenting.  My husband is the oldest of eight kids. Yeah, I said eight….

“Finally” a Girl

Posted on October 11, 2018December 3, 2018 by dance0015

 I was eight months pregnant.  My husband was at work. Patience was thin as I shuffled my two active boys into the new minivan (I still can’t believe I had to get a minivan) following swim lessons.  I made eye contact with a mom exiting with her ONE daughter who peacefully walked beside her holding…

How I (Sorta) Justify my Dunkin’ Habit

Posted on September 23, 2018December 3, 2018 by dance0015

Obviously the best way to save money is to eat at home and that includes making your  morning caffeine before leaving…but where’s the fun in that?  With three kids and a teaching day that starts at 7:20, sometimes I need a pick me up.  Even with my morning tea, I still never pay full price….

Posted on September 18, 2018December 14, 2018 by dance0015

I thought feeding my husband was tough enough, then I had two boys who apparently got their dad’s garbage disposal gene.  My love for couponing began when my husband and I were financially strapped and had our first son.  I decided I needed to switch from nursing to formula (for many personal reasons).  This added…

I never have to do this again…

Posted on September 18, 2018December 3, 2018 by dance0015

I was still in the stirrups, getting stitched up, talking to my OB.  This was my third labor and my third and final baby. She commented “you are doing amazingly well” and asked “how are you feeling?” I remember my immediate response, “I never have to do this again!” She laughed and told me she…
