In 2011, Amy Chua published a book titled ‘Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother’. I have not read the book and I want to make that clear. I did, however, see the controversial article “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” on The Wall Street Journal when it was *all over the news* back in 2011. To […]
It seems like more and more my life is filled with these moments. That moment when you’re whole mind is full of the word ‘REALLY?’ and you can’t really get past it. Can’t think or speak or anything… just stand there with a slack jaw and stare. I thought you should hear of a few […]
So I don’t have photos on the iPad, but I thought I could look anyhow and this is one that Kaitlynn remade and plays with ALOT according to the photo album lol. This was their very first photo together. Today, I made a lot of moms and kids angry! Apparently, the moms didn’t care that […]

Because my babygirl wasn’t feeling well today, I haven’t had time to post. She’s wanted to snuggle most of the day and I was perfectly okay with that. So even though it’s late.. I’m still making my day 12 happen! Yay! I had intended to comment along with the photos but this town speaks for […]
Yesterday, I ran out of time and energy to finish sharing photos from Saturday’s adventure. Today, I am stopping again because the rest are from Winthrop and it was such an interesting place it deserves its own page. So tomorrow you will get another photo heavy post. But for now, here’s the rest of our […]

Milk Mustache & All I’ve read a lot of blogs lately from other moms about how they feel towards their kids, towards their lives, and towards their situations.

This morning I was so relieved to see that clear sky and the sun behind the trees. That meant my kiddo would get some much needed sun today and I might get some much needed quiet. She got sun, I didn’t get quiet! Not sure that evens out lol but she has had fun. We […]
We Are American Last night, of course, we watched the election results come in. K ran around with her baton twirling it and cheering for whoever they were talking about on TV at that moment. It was cute, it was also annoying because I was trying to listen and see what happened. At one point, […]
A photo from a couple weeks ago, we stumbled upon this old turn house out in the middle of nowhere in Skagit County, WA… I LOVE this kind of thing! Oh yes, I mean that literally. I type, I backspace, I start over. Ironically, I did it twice on the title alone lol! I find […]
