Doctor Appointment Entertainment
Sadly I was in urgent care today. Riley’s had a bad cough from a cold that’s only getting worse. Since moving we haven’t been to a new urgent care facility, luckily (sort of) there’s one just around the corner from us. It’s part of Enloe Hospital’s “prompt” (that’s a joke) care facilities.

On staying home {maybe longer now}
At the begninning of the new school year I wrote about my feelings of displacement and how I missed being in a classroom. I really struggled with where my place in life should be. Living the life of a working mom and having a taste of a stay at home mom during my maternity leave…

Cardboard Coloring
Want a way to keep a preschooler or toddler busy for a while? Want to have fun with them while fostering imagination? Cardboard …and markers and some tape sometimes, but really cardboard. Riley’s new car seat box is a nice big one. Last night Landon was getting antsy – it was too hot to go…
