If you have been reading my blog for awhile you know that my son is a bit of a daredevil, adventurous type. Case in point would be his quest to conquer the waterfall at Old Man’s Cave. He also has the uncanny ability to hunt, capture and examine (but not harm) about every type of living creature… [Read More]
Everyday Superstars
My son is a sports fanatic but his ADHD makes it difficult for him to concentrate in team sports and he becomes frustrated at constantly being told to sit, focus, pay attention, etc. The frustration for me is that Eph is really a natural at sports – all sports. He runs fast (and far), kicks hard (and… [Read More]
The Flower Princess
My daughter has reached the age when her desire for imaginative play is expanding exponentially on a daily basis. She has babies that she rocks and sings too, a kitchen to cook her imaginary meals and just in the last week or so she has started wanting to play dress up. It is amazing how creative… [Read More]
Massanutten: The Petting Zoo
While we were on vacation, the kids wanted to go to the Petting Farm. We headed out early morning, on what we thought was going to be an overcast and cool day. It turned out to be quiet warm and we had wished we brought water and sunscreen. The petting farm is located just up… [Read More]
Vacations Before and After Children
As I was laying in a beautiful king size bed with a pair of size 7 toddler feet neatly jammed into my ribs, I started thinking about how different vacations were before I had children. Before I had children, when I walked into the enormous bathroom and saw the beautiful jacuzzi tub, I would have… [Read More]

This year, my husband and I decided to try something new, something a little closer to home {the closest beach is 12-14 hours from Ohio) and… [Read More]

Kindergarten is Over! A Proud Mama!
Today was the last day of Kindergarten for my little man. I can’t believe we survived his first year of school and that it was amazingly and remarkably successful. We are so blessed to be in a top rated public school with phenomenal teachers and leaders. I truly can’t express how grateful I am for… [Read More]
Missable Moments
My son collects tons of papers throughout his school day, in our house or at is Y program. Normally, he has a backpack full of his “letters” and pictures. Most of which, after a quick look over, end up in the recycle bin.This past Monday morning, in the hustle and bustle, I was trying to… [Read More]
Eph & The Lions Den
Every week we go to church and every week we ask Eph the same question, “what did you talk about tonight?.” And, every week we get the same answer, “I don’t know.” For Eph that is a pretty honest answer. Sitting in a class room and having someone tell things to him is not the… [Read More]
