One recent Saturday morning, our two youngest children greeted us for some snuggling and giggling. This is one of my favorite weekend rituals.

I’ve watched these over and over and can’t help but giggle and smile.
Parenting children. It makes you do silly things. Especially if you’re kinda silly to begin with.

He laughed heartily.
Exactly what I was hoping for.
Sometimes as a parent, you need to “let go,” and let your kids go!
We were at a carnival and my sweet-and-pensive nine-year-old daughter wanted to ride only two things. The carousel? No. The jumping house? No.
The mechanical bull. And the Zipline.

I try to support my childrens’ imaginations and dreams. Even if Fairy University might not be my very first choice of schools.
Welcome!
I energetically mother three children: 14, 10, and 8, am married to my college sweetheart, and have two dogs. My life is full of laughs. eye rolls, love, and laundry. I'm friendly and genuine and blog about my bumbling life.
Thanks for joining me for some chatter!
