“Are they ALL yours?”
I was asked that same question FIVE times today at the store. Five… at least. (I sort of quit counting after awhile.)
I don’t mind it when people ask, I suppose. I know my children are remarkably close together in age. After all, we have five children and the oldest is just five. [...]

My parents are on vacation, so they spent the beginning of the week here with us. The boys climbed all over them and the girls grinned at them. Now my parents are back home, but exhausted.
Connor was sitting on Poppy’s lap the other day. They were quizzing Evan on her body parts. You [...]

Can you believe I’ve been blogging a whole year now?!

Remember when it looked like this?
Does that mean my husband will bring my flowers? Or diamonds? Or both?!
I know I have just a few faithful readers, but I still enjoy this journey we’re on. It’s like a baby book I’ll never lose. I’m able to type [...]

Just wanted to show you all that Ferris is healthy and happy. Who could resist that smile?!

There, I said it. Now you now.
Anyway, he and I are puzzled by something…. Maybe one of you smart people out there can help us.
What is the difference between [...]

So far, we only have one picky eater. Though Andy’s picky, he’s easy to figure out. He really only dislikes raw, crunchy things . . . and cooked carrots. But the things he does like, he really loves.
Like my sloppy joes.
I really think the boy could do a happy dance in a vat of [...]

There are two fairly new products out there that prove to me, once again, that God loves me. Both delicious and fat free! (FREE of FAT!) Yum-o!
