Our Best Life

10 May

What kid doesn't love a picnic, right? For Clark's birthday yesterday, my kids wanted a picnic - but with bugs. Everything is about bugs right now. So, I made them this cute little lunch scene with snails and toadstools and even included a couple of plastic bugs. It doesn't take much to make these kids happy! Just some fun and simple picnic foods! First of all, apparently Cheetos are essential to birthdays.  So they are included, of course. The little toadstools are made from grape tomatoes (cherry tomatoes may be better but weren't available) cut in...

Happy Birthday Clark! Clark just turned 5 years old and we had a wonderful day full of fun and family!  Not to make this all about me, but I always get a little emotional on Clark's birthday because it is always a sweet reminder of how I became a Mother.  My pregnancy was a nightmare and Clark was born 7 weeks early.  He spend the first several weeks of his life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.  Those days were very, very difficult but so special.  I sat in the NICU every day, holding and loving him, both of us healing together. ...

No! Not a real snai!. You'll never find a post for "How to Eat a Real Snail" on this blog. I promise. This post is "How to Eat a Cinnamon Roll Snail with Marshmallows." That sounds a lot better, doesn't it? Clark's fifth birthday is tomorrow, so this week we have been gearing up for the celebration!  At our preschool it is customary for the parents to bring a special snack for the class on their child's birthday.  I'm terrible, but I don't generally get involved in such things, but Clark is now at an age where...

It’s Super Bowl Week at preschool and We. Are. Not. Super Bowlers.  We don’t have a single team jerseys. I wouldn't know a team mascot if it hit me in the face. I have no clue what color represents each team.  In fact, I don’t even know who is in the Super Bowl this year!  I’ve had to do some quick internet research in order to properly equip my son for all the activities this week at school.  Thankfully, today, was a more simple task of taking a “Super Bowl snack” to share with the class.  Clark loves cupcakes, so we decided on that.  I...

Mondays are a killer for me.  I work full-time nights. That's 12 hours every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then I come home on Monday and try to manage my young children until my husband comes home from work. He will then take over so that I can sleep. Somehow I have to stay awake and functional until he gets home. So far, this is the only way we've figured out how to manage working full time and young children. A couple of years ago, we had an incident that convinced us that we did...
