Alexander the Great
When I was a senior in high school, I regularly sported a tshirt that read “I <3 Alex.” I picked it up at a Mariner’s game, during the era when A-Rod [Alex Rodriguez] played for Seattle. I wore the shirt until it literally fell apart, much to the chagrin of my then-boyfriend (now husband), Alex. Truth be told,…

Wacky Wednesday
Today’s super-honest post is brought to you by the letters P (for Peppermint Mocha), C (carseat), D (drive-thru), U (unshowered), B (braless), M (melatonin, my new BFF), and the number 2. (As in, “Mommy has had two coffees today.”) It’s official: The kids are trying to kill me. Jesus come down. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we are heading…

Desperate Housewife
Lest you believe our home-life to be a constant stream of rainbows and lollipops, I thought I would clear some things up today… Mother’s day had me up before 6am cleaning human waste off of our floors while the offender in question simultaneously vomited on my head. Just another day in paradise. I have personally been…

Regarding Homeschool
So y’all know that we are homeschooling this year… in anticipation of the transition/adjustment to becoming a family of five, we thought it optimal to pull back and instruct our kids at home; essentially pre-Cocooning. We knew that going at our own pace would afford us the flexibility to take the girls along for three…
