What a day! We had a great time at heritage Park with our friends who are visiting here from Hong Kong. The kids went on all the rides a few times before the line ups were there. The boys love hanging out with the 2 girls, who are around the same age as my older …
yelling at kids
I’m over it.
I just bought my eldest some t-shirts today, size 10-12. He’s not 10 yet, 8 but you know how they are always bigger than the sizes. I wasn’t sad at all that he’s growing up, quit excited in fact. Each stage is so fun and each age unlocks many more things we can do with …
Efed Up
Day 1 on the job and I have already messed up. Glad to have that out of the way for the rest of the summer. Now I can parent and work relaxed knowing that I am human and I have already efed up so there’s nothing to fear. The worst has already happened. Sure enough …

I have a good one for you this week!!! Do you ever scroll through Instagram or FB and see a picture of a friend with her friend, smiling, posing, dressed up? We have all been through that loop of comparison, jealousy and beating ourselves up over not having it as awesome as them. The …

To Yell or not to Yell?
What do I know about yelling at my kids? A lot. What I feel when I yell. I feel like I need to stop whatever is happening at any cost. If it’s a screaming kid I can yell at him to stop yelling. If it’s two fighting boys I can get in there and …
