Rose Bud

Ah,Spring.  Bugs to catch…plants to torment…my kids are in heaven. Toddlers latch onto odd things, sometimes.  Right now, my 3 year old totes around a hard plastic angry octopus named ‘Stretch” from Toy Story 3.  A few days before that, it was a rubbery fly that she pulled out of the dollar bin at Target. […]

The Tiniest Rose Bud

We’re somewhat preempted to grumble about rainy days.  Even the weather channel girl mulls over rainy forecasts, trading in her ‘sunny day’ forecast enthusiasm for a more glum tone.  Every wonder why that is?  What’s so bad about the rain? It makes no difference to my kids what the weather is doing outside…their focus lies […]

Rain in the Forecast…

Parenting

With toddlers, is always a new trick, right? Lots of little kids walk on their tippy toes when they are toddlers, especially when they first learn to walk.  At least, that’s what I’ve been told…and that’s what my first daughter did.  It was one of those extremely cute ‘baby’ things that she did…and then it […]

Brianne (my almost-4-year-old) is obsessed with Star Wars. To my husband’s delight, she totes around 2 of his old Storm Trooper toys that were found at Grandma and Grandpa Bucher’s house, and refuses to answer to her own name. “Mom, C3P0 does not want breakfast.  C3P0 is not hungry yet.  C3P0 will eat Cheerio’s later.  […]

My parents actually are the best.  They’ve stuck with each other through 33 years of marriage, and stuck by me and my siblings our entire lives.  I’m lucky, because I get to hang with my parents a lot.  We live in the same little lake town, and appreciate a lot of the same things in […]

Ode To My Parents.

It’s planted in our front yard, in all it’s surreal glory. One more bathroom, and moving most likely would’ve been replaced with talks of a boat instead. Like most families, we’ve put in a lot of work into our little pad…but it just doesn’t seem like it’s enough.  One bathroom plus three girls is more […]

The ‘For Sale’ Sign.

The common cold is ravaging my house.  It’s such a butt.  When it hits, there’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop ‘the drippy nose.’  It drips and drips until you’re left wondering where on Earth all this snot is coming from.  It leaves you, boxes of Kleenex (more like cases!) later, to the next […]

“I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT!” Ahhh….The sweet sound of a toddler on her way to big girl pants. Potty training. Ugh. I started potty training my first child at 8 months, at the insistence of my own Mother that I was potty trained by then as a child.  I now know […]
