Y'all, kids are gross. I think this is just natural for them. Most of the time, they don't even realize how incredibly gross they are being. Recently, our team sat down and named all the reasons WHY our kids are gross and we laughed. Enjoy, laugh with us and comment with somethings your kids do that are gross.
Kids are gross because ... my son picks his nose when I am not looking, then sneakily says "Mama surprise" and I get all excited thinking he picked me a flower when really it is a booger stuck to his finger!

I am getting older, as we all are. It happens. Next year I will be out of my thirties and in a new decade of age. I would like to say that I am a gracefully aging mom who works out and plays tennis or eats all organic all of the time, who spends her days giving all her best self to her children.
I'm not. Graceful doesn't really fit into any part of my life, I don't think. I don't work out, although, I do walk to the mailbox, climb the stairs at work and get in about 3,000 steps a day. All organic? Nope. Girl Scout cookies. Yup.
I try to take good care of my skin and deter...
We're the type of parents who call body parts by their anatomically-correct title. Elbow. Ankle. Penis. No big deal. When I was pregnant for my third child, my oldest asked when the baby was going to come out my "bagina." My grandmother thinks it's uncomfortably progressive and even questioned, "But what if they say it at school?!" Honestly, they wouldn't. Unless, of course, something were wrong with their penis or bagina. Because to them the term isn't taboo. It's not a punchline. They have no more reason to say one of those words to get a laugh than they would to say "ear" or "thumb."
It's only gotten us into trouble twice. Once, I whispered to my son in a...
While planning a trip to see my husband’s parents in Tennessee last fall, my mother-in-law offered to watch our three girls for a couple nights so Matt and I could go on a small getaway. I immediately started researching cheap flights out of Nashville to see what our options were.
We would fly out super early and hit the ground running so we could make the most of our 48 hours. There were so many sights to see and activities to do. Who knew when we would get another chance to do something like this, so we needed to make it count. Then, we came to our senses.
A 48 hour jet-set vacay sounded exciting, but unfortunately, it also sounded exhausting....
Our boys are 19 months apart. They get asked constantly if they're twins, and if I'm honest, we've probably raised them as such. They share clothes and a room and the same silly jokes. I have intentionally brainwashed them into believing that they are each other's best friend. Seriously - their room is decorated with "Best Buddies"-themed picture frames and a collage of the two of them together. At random times, my husband and I ask them to point to their best friend, and they always adorably point to each other.
They are not allowed to argue. Certainly, they have their annoying spats, but it always comes back to the same lecture: That's your brother. He's your best friend. He...
