Parenting With Heart And Humor
Creating beautiful and delicious things doesn't have to cost a lot or take a long time to make. This LEGO candy was quick, easy and oh so delicious! You should have seen Jordan's eyes light up like a Christmas tree when I walked through the door with a big bag of Jolly Ranchers and announced that View Post
The summer is coming to an end, rather quickly. We checked most of the things off our summer bucket list, and we had a blast doing so. The kids are slowly, ever so slowly starting to climb the walls. Now even the toddler has learned to say: “what are we going to do today? I am bored!” I smile and View Post
Everything is awesome when you have a LEGO decorated bathroom. This is every LEGO-loving child's dream bathroom! They will WANT to wash their hands! The kids came running towards me, their arms stretched out, ready for a big hug upon landing. "Mama, THANK YOU SO MUCH" - I wasn't quite sure WHAT View Post
Thank you, LEGO® for sending us “Clay’s Rumble Blade” in return for our honest feedback and review. Spoiler alert: The kids LOVED it! - But then again, I have yet to find a LEGO® set that they don’t love!(This post contains affiliate links.) Our Kids Found Their Calling in Life Nap time!

Pinterest moms, we all know one or two in our circle of friends, right? They are able to effortlessly make a school lunch look like a work of art, and they know every stain-removing trick in the book. These women are creative ninjas, and yes, I must admit I wish I was more like them. They make View Post
Family movie night is a great idea - in theory only. Once you actually sit down with all the kids, it becomes a management and logistical nightmare trying to please every age group and interest represented. Which is exactly the situation we were in last weekend. I was in the kitchen making the View Post
Pokémon GO is taking the country galaxy by storm. Everywhere you turn, kids, tweens and millenials are aimlessly walking around, pointing their smart devices at invisible friends and objects. As the world adjusts to the latest fad, public landmarks and private property alike are swarmed by the View Post
I hear the sound of eager little foot steps jumping down the stairs. The pitter-patter continues through the living room. I think “wait for it, wait for it…” - as expected, like clock work, Jordan enters the room much more stealth-like than his descent down the stairs. “Mama, can you come tuck me View Post
I am wide awake while everyone around me is happily snoring. My mind is racing a million miles an hour. I have a love/ hate relationship with my brain when this happens. There is an idea brewing in my head and it just won’t stop nagging me. I MUST CREATE! I MUST CRAFT! I reach for the notebook I View Post
The late afternoon sun is beating down on my face. I am soaking up the warmth, taking in the sounds all around me. The kids are playing nicely (not quietly) in the backyard, while I am relaxing after a full day of memory-making fun. This is my first summer as a stay-at-home mom. The magnitude of View Post
I am SURE you have been in this situation several times if your kids love LEGO DUPLO like ours do. Here we are, on the floor of their room, surrounded by a sea of red, blue and yellow LEGO DUPLO bricks. Jansen (4), Jonah (2) and I, in-between incomplete sets, half assembled buildings and View Post
“What is THIS? The things hanging from this plant?” Jansen was holding up a yellow DUPLO brick with a picture of a potato plant. His little forehead wrinkled, with an inquisitive look in his brown eyes. He titled his head to the side and looked at the brick, then at me and then back to the brick… View Post
You have a child with special needs, your day is filled with medical jargon and concerns. “Vacation” means something very different to you than it does to your friends. You travel with luggage no family should ever have to tote around, but after years of doing it - you are a pro. You manage the View Post
“MAMA! I got it! I FINALLY got IT!” That squeal, the exclamation and ensuing excitement can mean a number of things in our house! Either someone, caught a PigMan in Minecraft (or whatever is necessary to achieve the next level of greatness in the game that baffles me.) found their View Post
