Cleaning House Book Review
A few weeks ago I got the book Cleaning House from the digital online library. I had no idea what to expect with this book, but about half way through I knew I had to share it with all of my mom friends! Side note, if you are a book lover and not using your local libraries online options then you really need [...]
Four Kids in a Grocery Store
Every once in a while I go somewhere with all four children and seamlessly accomplish the daily tasks at hand. That happens about as often as I find the perfect avocado and consume it at its peak ripeness. It is an anomaly. Last week I attempted grocery shopping with all four kids.

She is the same age as my mom and always has so much valuable wisdom to impart. When talking about motherhood Connie reminisced about her only daughter graduating from High School and leaving for college. This was [...]
Create Your Own Speech Therapy Book

Books are a great resource for speech delays anyway, but a book that has pictures and experiences that your child can directly identify with is even better. I try to make a new one every year so that we can expand on what she has learned. Here [...]
