First Visit to the Dentist
Today was Landon’s first visit to the dentist! He did such a great job. We talked about it for a few weeks and he was really excited to go, but I could tell when they called us back that he was not too sure about what was going to happen. They put him in the…

Everyday Life – Mom’s Group and Fountains
A few weeks back I joined a mom’s group in Chico called the Chico Mother’s Club. I love being able to connect with other adults in the same life phase as me. It’s also great to be able to have playdates with other kids Landon’s age without playing the “lottery” of who will be at…

New Site!
So you may notice there’s been some changes! I started this blog only a few months ago and have already hit about 850 page views a month! I know that’s not a ton for the “big” blogs, but it’s a huge start for a 3 month old blog (I think). My husband (a web programmer)…

Cloth Diapering Basics
I have had so many people ask me about cloth diapers and have “converted” so many to cloth diapering after talking with them and showing them how easy it can be. I just recently spent the morning with a new friend who is pregnant with her second child and is considering cloth diapering. I figure…

Things Kids Say
Snuggling with Landon tonight before he went to sleep I gave him a kiss and said, “I love you, I’m so glad you’re my son” Landon looked up at me and in a sweet but serious voice said, “I’m not your son. I’m Landon.” “Ok” I said, “I”m glad you’re my Landon”. He nodded with…

What a mess!
Riley has always been mister independent when it comes to eating. He wouldn’t even eat solids when we first started him until we realized he just wanted to shove the food in his mouth by himself. Then he didn’t stop eating. He often eats more than Landon. The last few weeks he’s been fine with…

Come What May
One thing I have learned about life through the last 7 or so years is that God’s plan is always better than my own. I’ve experienced this so many times, particularly from big life decisions, like house purchases and things like that – every time I come up with what the “plan” is going to…

Everyday Life – Naps
Landon’s napping. The dog is napping. Riley just woke up from a nap. I’m NOT napping. Not that I don’t want to be. We’re in the schedule of nap times now that makes it hard to get anything done, unless I stretch nap times for Riley, which results in a cranky kid. In order for them to nap the…

Sleeping on the floor
I swear that somehow Landon and Riley have meetings some nights where they create a schedule for waking up, where they alternate and tag team to maximize their chunks of sleep, while minimizing mine. And I’m sure that they have some type of monitoring system installed to know the second I’m in that stage of…

Everyday Life – Gateway Science Museum and Park Walks
The boys and I didn’t have anything on our schedule for this morning, so I decided to try out one of the places I found to take kids in Chico online. CSU Chico has a hands-on science museum called Gateway Science Museum. Landon’s been to other science museums that were a lot of fun –…
