What’s with the Early mornings?

I have tried various bedtimes with my two sons in the past, never having been able to get them to wake up much later than 8am. That was nice, but it only happens on some rare occasion. Regardless of what time my sons go to bed, you can count on them rolling out of bed between 4am and 6am every day, seven days a week. Now I don’t know about you but when the weekend comes I want to stay up a bit later, watching a movie, hanging out or writing on my blogs but then I pay for it come morning time. K-man has been waking up a couple of hours, if not as soon as I fall asleep, for the past few nights. He then ends up in …

Let’s Talk About Immunizations and Whooping Cough Outbreak

Many of us are aware that it is flu season, that lovely season when kids go back to school and everyone is fighting off the sickies. If you do recall, I was sick for four days straight unable to eat, drink and do anything beyond laying in bed. It was horrible, none of my kids got it as bad as I did. Probably because I push myself harder and well do a whole heck of a lot, thankful that I got it worse because I hate to see my kids that sick.

Car Care Made Easy for Moms – October is Headlight Safety Month

This post brought to you by Pep Boys. All opinions are 100% mine. October is headlight safety month and with that comes the idea that parents should add just one more thing to their plate this time of year; headlight checks and cleanings! The one thing that constantly bothers me during the Fall and Winter months in New Hampshire would be the fact that my headlights always seem to be more dim, due to lack of cleaning. I honestly do not clean my headlights, I am good about checking fluids in the car and ensuring that is up to par but headlights? I barely think about them until I notice they appear rather dim when driving after dark.  I only drive after dark during Fall and Winter because of daylight …

That’s My Life in a Nutshell, how About Yours?

Seriously my life wouldn’t be my life if it weren’t filled with obstacles to challenge my every day world. You see, someone above must know that I work best under pressure. Give me a challenge? I will rise to the occasion and succeed. I am determined. Strong willed. Motivated. Whatever word you deem fit, however, I am also a little scatter brained at times. Who wouldn’t be scatter brained when you have to remember, not only your own little world things, but the events as well as needed items for three children?! I love it though. I call my world, my happy chaos and it really is happy chaos. I don’t know how many people could handle being in my little world, but the kids and I seem to handle …
