Oh sweet children.

Dear, sweet children.

You’re both the loves of my life, the sunshine in my day, my whole world is centered around you. Wiping your butts, cleaning up your throw up when you’re sick, losing sleep when you’ve had a bad dream, holding your hand and cheering you up when you fall, worrying about every aspect of your life from the day I saw the two pink lines on the pregnancy test.

I love you.

But every morning, I CAN’T STAND YOU!!!!

Each morning is a battle of wills. A battle of who’s the strongest. A battle of who can hold out longer, who can whine the loudest, who can be the most disrespectful and disobedient.

And you’re driving me crazy.

“Mama, why do you get so angry in the morning?”

REALLY?!?! You can’t tell why mama is angry?!

“Mama – remember what Daniel Tiger says:
(Singing) If you feel so mad, that you wanna roar, take a deep breath and count to 4.”

F*** Daniel Tiger! He’s never had to deal with children who are as defiant and lazy and mean and rude as you two are in the morning!

Here are 5 reasons why mama is acting like a crazy lunatic this morning:

Bibbidi bobbidi boo! May all your dreams and wishes come true!

I was able to make one of my dreams come true on our last trip to Disney. I’ve been dying to take Maddie to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique basically since I found out I was pregnant with a girl. (Honestly, if adults could do it, I totally would! #disneydork)

If you’re looking for something special to do with your little princess while you’re at Disney, BBB is something you should consider! It’s a super interactive experience, complete with your very own private “Fairy Godmother in training,” who will turn your little girl into the princess of her dreams. They have packages starting at $64 that include a hair style, pixie dust, make-up, and nail polish. You also get a super cute BBB bag, a sash, AND you get to keep all the make-up and the nail polish! We brought our own princess dress from home to save money, but the higher priced packages include dresses, crowns, and shoes.

5 Favorite Moments from Our Disney Trip

By on March 9, 2018

Our trip to Disney last week was, as always, absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, there was Disney magic around every corner. And even though the kids were considerably more difficult this time, it was still a great trip.

There were a few extra special moments that will be memories I will cherish forever! Here are my 5 favorite moments from our Disney trip:

1. Surprising the Kids

We kept the trip a secret for months and months. Last time we went, Graham knew ahead of time and asked a million times a day when we were going. So this time, we decided to just not tell them. Plus it was so FUN seeing their reactions when we told them! (Check out the video below!) Graham can barely contain his excitement and Maddie is almost in tears she’s so excited! And how funny is it that she was so worried about it still being “night-night” time? Lol! It was 5:30am when we woke them up to tell them, so she was still pretty sleepy. We wanted to get an early start on the road trip!

 1. Favorite Place I Went this Month

We ended up with last minute tickets to Disney on Ice and it was a blast. I was singing the entire time and Graham cracked up every time Goofy fell down, and he fell a ton!

10 Stupid Things I’ve Done Because of Mom-Brain

By on February 19, 2018

This post was sponsored by STL Locksmiths, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Mom-brain is totally a thing. After 9 months of growing a person inside of you, then pushing this watermelon-sized person out of your most delicate area, and then not sleeping more than 3 hours at a time for 6+ months, your brain starts to exhibit some wear and tear. I actually used to be an intelligent woman. I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree. But I swear my 2 children have sucked all the brain-cells out of my head. God knows what’s left in there. I’m picturing some sort of shriveled up raisin.
