rookie move of the month
My tip for you today is a little random, but it is truly legit. And I may go to Mom Hell for taking these photos, but you have to know that the camera was on my office desk, which was where I was sitting, and shooting them in action mode meant this was about 3 seconds!  So I promise, hugs and cuddles were soon given... TIP: If you ever need...

couple travel favorites & lifesavers!
As I'm working on getting the family packed up for the next big adventure, thought I would point out a couple travel ESSENTIAL favorites!! I don't think I could ever travel without either of these. Aquaphor is a booty saver! The first time we traveled with Addie in a car, we drove to and from Tahoe, that's 9 hours each way.  She was 9 months old and she got the...

So fun to get all our your emails and questions!!  Please know that I will try my very best to answer you.  I am VERY slow at replying!!  I don't mean to be, but well, there are these 3 kids that seem to take up A LOT of time.... Anywhoooo, one of the questions I often get is what does my daily schedule look like...and I've been meaning to post...
another quick travel tip
Get your kids their passport. I think the current (normal) quoted time is 6-8 weeks. Piper's came in 3 weeks. I have gotten each Little their passport within a few months of birth. It's EASY! Make an appointment (or walk in) at your local post office. Or check here for local places for your area. You will need your husband, your babes birth certificate & Social Security #, both parents...
wordless wednesday ~ the many sides of addie
Still cleaning out iPhoto.  Came across some goodies of Miss Addie... There's our little ballerina... Little Miss on the Move... Not to be outdone, "King of the Woooorld!" Mom, I'm moving to Paris to become a model, eat lettuce, and buy shoes.  Don't try to stop me. But if that doesn't fly,  I'm going to be a rocker. Or  a monkey. But then again, Paris may be best.  I like...
a monster in the house
Sometimes I just can't help myself. While trying to clean up my iPhoto, I came across this photo of Hayden last October.  She has always been known as our little Giggle Monster since she giggles at everything like nobody's business. But on Halloween, she became "Haymonster". I'm sure you can understand why....
travel tips you say…
I've been asked by many about my travel tips for upcoming summer vacations.  This is definitely an area I can help with.  Well, I guess what I mean is, it's something I've done A LOT of with our Littles!  Last year in total we were on 17 planes in 3 time zones.  Not yet with all 3 children, but we started last year when Hayden was 5 weeks old and...
owl bag….”who” knew!
Holy Moly! Did I get a lot of emails and comments about the owl bag!!  Who knew??? I'm always amazed at what things draw the most comments and emails, and it's almost always opposite of what I would think...crazy!  Which makes me think I really need to ask what other things you all would love to know or hear about???  Please, please leave me comments and let me know!  I...
wordless wednesday ~ ok seriously…sleep? maybe?
I love you kiddos, but last night? What happened to you?? Sweet Addie, where has our champion sleeper gone? We would love her back if you can find her please! Pretty please?? I promise, a shout out for "Mama" at 1:15AM, totally NOT NEEDED. I will love you, possibly more than I already do, if THAT doesn't happen again. And I will give you an even bigger hug in the...
