Five weeks ago I welcomed my fifth baby to my family. That still blows my mind–five kids!! It feels like a circus at my house. I want to say I love every second of it, but let’s be real. I have five kids and one of them is a newborn. It has been hard. I…

My Birth Story #4
On May 10th, at 1:40 pm, I welcomed my fourth child into the world. It was a beautiful experience, one of my best birth stories. And it’s going to be long and detailed. The weeks leading up to his birth were torturous. Each day dragged on, despite my attempts to fill each day with fun…
Kids Spring Cleaning Bingo Game
I love spring so much–the weather warms up and everyone starts going outside. And then the sun shines in your house and you see how dirty your house got all winter. Ha! I made a helpful spring cleaning list a few years ago, but who wants to do that all by themselves? Have your kids…
Summer Math Program
When I was in first grade, I was abominable at math. I wasn’t great in a lot of areas, actually, but math was something I always struggled with. I was much too busy being social to care about learning. And my parents were super busy with their other ten kids to ensure I always did…

Fun Winter Activities
This has been a really weird winter. Like really warm. It has snowed only a few times and they were all in a two week period. And those two weeks were right after we moved so we didn’t really have time to do a whole lot of playing in the snow. However, we’ve still had…
The Importance of Bathtime
My kids are growing up. They are in that phase where they can do almost everything by themselves which makes me kinda lazy and I am getting really good at ordering them around. But there is one thing they still can’t quite do themselves…bathtime. My oldest takes showers now which is a long ways from…
A Child’s First Phone
This post is sponsored by Tracfone, all opinions are my own. There was a day when my six year old boy walked over to his friend’s house, just around the corner, by himself. When it was time to come home, I texted my friend to send him home. He didn’t show up. I walked around…
Getting a Flu Shot
‘Tis the season of getting sick. I feel like I’ve been struggling with some sort of sniffles/sore throat for the last month! And especially when you have little kids around you, they bring home everything and just spread it around. And last week my daughter was throwing up so much she ended up having to…
Six Ways to Use Shelf Liner When Living With Kids
This post brought to you by Duck Brand. All opinions are 100% mine. Sometimes I pretend that I’m an adult. Wait no–I AM an adult. But often when I look around my house I think “Why is my house so messy? I didn’t make that mess. Those aren’t my things.” It’s obvious that I live…
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of RedEnvelope. Being a mom is hands-down the hardest thing I have ever done. I’ve been doing it for a little over six years now. I may not be as seasoned as all y’all but I do have plenty of those true MOM moments where…
