Roommate Phase Much?
After dinner finishes, we put on our imaginative jerseys and get to work with our common goal - bedtime.
GO TEAM!
The kitchen chair has saucy Tikka Masala handprints and there’s rice peppering the floor. My son throws the spoon of squash purée for the fifth time.
The floor is a canvas, creative and colorful. One we will wipe clean every night.
The artists are unruly and playful all in one tiny body.
Grab the little people before they carry the mess to another part of the house.
Bath time makes a referee of me:
“No splashing!”
“That’s a foul!"
“Don’t snatch toys!”
“One more move like that and you’re ejected!”
How are the dishes already spilling out of the sink?
One of us tackles that corner of the...
Mom, I'm Hungry!!
Lately, things for me have really been chaotic, and it seems like the time is going so fast. With changing careers, working, studying, cleaning the house, and being a football mom. I am on auto pilot and going along for the ride. One thing that I find myself doing the most and I did not even list is COOKING. What was I thinking, leaving that one out, it's the most important thing in life as mom. Blow the whistle, there is a flag on that play!! Do not mind me, I am talking football. No matter what I am doing, if my son is with me all I hear is “Mom, I'm hungry" and my reply is...

Knock Knock Children's Museum :: A Must Visit for Kids in Baton Rouge
Before I had my daughter, I considered myself “the fun auntie” – as I was the only one in my friend group with no kids. I would purposely buy toys that made noise with a bunch of pieces.
Now, I am considering putting no toys on my daughter’s second birthday party invite because my living room looks like Six Flags right now. Seriously! I just cleaned out her toy bin and I swear there are still too many toys! Most are Montessori style, so they don’t make noise but whewww there are still a lot of pieces. I’m tired of tripping over toys! The worst is waiting for...
Navigating Back to School Season Feelings
As summer's warmth increases, the back-to-school season swoops in, bringing a whirlwind of emotions for my two little learners, Jack and Jacob. Jack, my seasoned third-grader, is oscillating between excitement and dread, while Jacob, my tiny kindergarten newbie, is bursting with anticipation. They are both excited about the light blue shirts.
Jack's jitters are palpable as he worries about making new friends, tackling tougher homework, and, of course, showing off how high he can swing. Meanwhile, Jacob is bubbling with enthusiasm, eager to eat school lunch, learn to read with friends, and make art projects that will inevitably cover our kitchen table in glitter.
As their mom, I'm caught in the middle, trying to reassure Jack...
