Do you ever have those days, or weeks even, when it seems like your kid is constantly testing boundaries? When they are saying “no” to everything you ask? Blatantly ignoring your calls or requests. Arguing with everything you say. When this happens, we as parents often fall into a rut ourselves. We get stuck in “reprimand mode.” Patience is gone and it seems like we’re living in “time outs.” It’s those times when it seems like nothing you’re doing is getting through. It’s the worst. I just finished living one of those weeks with my almost-3yr-old. She was stuck in mean mode so I was stuck in angry mode. I missed my awesome little girl and was wondering if she would ever come back. Read more

Mel Gibson Style Freeeeedom
This morning my sis and I went on a beautiful trail run through the green hills, by the river, and the wildflower fields. It sounds make believe, but I am not kidding. Spring around here is legit! Read more
Interview with Megan on having twins
Welcome to our guest mama’s section. Here we interview moms in our village to hear more about their journey.
Meet Megan, Mom of Twins
Describe yourself~
I’m a mom of two; yes they are twins, no they are not identical, one is a boy and one is a girl, yes my hands are full, and we don’t know if we are done yet. My husband says we got the two for one special with the twins. I can’t imagine tackling parenthood with anyone else but him. Before the twins I taught full time and once the kids are in school I’ll more then likely return to the classroom, but for now I’m enjoying being “just a mom”.
What is your biggest strength as a mom?
My biggest strength as a mom is my go with the flow attitude and flexibility. If it takes me twice as long to get laundry done because the kids want to play and help, and I’m okay with that. If we go for a hike and take a break every 5 yards to explore stuff and only end up “hiking” the length of a football field, it will just have to do. Read more
Who Has Time?
After our blog “went live” we’ve had such a fun response. When I’ve spoken to other mamas face to face in the last couple days since, I have had a few inquire about time. One asked, where do you find the time?! My answer was quick and simple: my house is messier than yours!

Welcome to Our Blog
We started this blog back in January. We learned how to write code, host a domain, and what widgets are. (Just kidding about a few of those, faking the computer skills a little.) But we have learned about tech stuff, worked together with and without kids, in the evenings when we should probably be sleeping. This is something that we are proud of. We have so much more to share: the words and wisdom of our village. Read more
