Sometimes You Just Know A Good “Man” When You See Him

After reading the title, you may be surprised to find out that this isn’t about my husband. My son flies far under the radar most of the time, surrounded by a houseful of girls that are louder than him, outnumber him (four to one), and typically demand more attention than him. He’s not a child that requires a whole lot and if you aren’t paying attention, you won’t even notice that he’s around. However, when you do notice him… it’s normally refreshing. He’s funny, warm-hearted, respectful, sensible, considerate, and kind.

Tre Embraces His Childhood

I love that my son isn’t afraid to be who he is. He doesn’t try to act harder than he is, does try to fit in with his peers. He’s happy just being, “Tre” or “Barry” depending on who’s calling him. Tonight, the girls all were at a friend’s house for dinner so I decided [...]

Any of my kids (especially Zoe) could easily have a 2-hour nightly sitcom without any writers. I’m listening to my middle three not doing their chores and just as I was about to yell, “BEDTIME!!!!” at 6:30pm, I heard the following conversation and couldn’t administer any kind of stern admonition so I had to just let [...]

I Promise Not To Blog…

One thing I hate about my kids growing up is that maturity brings about concern with impression and the older they get, the list of things I cannot blog about grows longer. When kids are little, you can blog about anything and not have to worry about there being an embarrassment factor. As they grow, [...]

I Love Our Seven {Plus One}

Today has been quite a day… well, technically yesterday since it’s now after midnight. So much is on my mind, but I doubt it will make it to this article. It’s still pretty jumbled up there and articulating it all is probably going to be for another day. Or not. Barry leaves to go back [...]
