1 husband, 6 kids, 1 Labradoodle and a cat
From the monthly archives:
I am never surprised anymore at the places I find my 5th child sleeping. She has even fallen asleep on the top of my husbands head. Don’t believe me? I have the video to prove it. Most small children traditionally take naps, not Storie, she has been too good for those silly little nap things [...]

For the past few years I have just stuck with the same two recipes for chocolate chip cookies. Either the Nestle Toll House one on the bag, or the Neiman Marcus recipe if I have to make a LOT of cookies. I thought I would try something new yesterday, it seemed like a good baking [...]

These might be a little graphic for some, but I had two different emails asking about Maureen’s birth photography. She did a phenomenal job and they are so beautiful. The hours she put into it was unbelievable. So these are a few of the pictures of our little Rush’s birth.

The nice Scholastic lady called today and did the interview for my two sentences in the June magazine. Everything was going well until she asked for a photo of me and the kids…
So my good friend Maureen is a photographer and not just any one at that. She truly has a gift. I HATE to have my [...]

Breaking all child labor laws and figuring we had our own private work force, we decided to take the kids to Arkansas for Spring Break. While their friends were off to Mexico to sit on a beach or in Colorado skiing, we chose the more economical route with 6 children and took them camping. Who [...]

Dear Readers,
I’ve decided that dragging my children to go coupon shopping wasn’t nearly enough fun for them-I am now dragging them to Arkansas to mine for diamonds.

As I am typing, the kids are supposed to be cleaning the playroom. This is all I hear:
Emma: “No it’s NOT!”
Paige: “Yes it IS!”
Avery: “Uh huh!”
I stormed in. “Why aren’t you picking up your toys!?” Emma answered, “Mom! Paige said that ‘clean up’ is a compound word!” To which [...]

I know I promised photos of my dog after his haircut. I just have not been able to do it. It is too humiliating… He looks like an idiot. And I know he looks stupid because everyone who sees him says the same thing, kind like when you get a bad haircut, “well, at least [...]

My washing machine is probably in the top 2 most important appliances in my house. The refrigerator being #1. I can do without the stove (we get to go out to eat!) the microwave, vacuum, TV’s, etc. But could you imagine hauling 8 peoples laundry to a laundry mat?? I don’t think so. A few summers ago my [...]

This is one of those “I’ve been meaning to” blogs that I haven’t blogged yet. I love family traditions and think they’re important to have, and my husband started one for our family that I think it very unique (and precious). A few years ago for Valentines day we stayed home instead of going out [...]
