Happy Fifth Birthday to Ethan!
by 6 Comments
Happy Fifth Birthday to Ethan! It’s so hard to wrap my head around the fact that my sweet baby boy is turning 5 today! It seems like just yesterday I was walking (and walking) trying to get him out... now he won’t stop growing! Ethan’s first “real” picture. I just love profile sonogram shots :). My last photograph pregnant. Here I am in the elevator on the way up to labor & delivery! Here he is minutes old, meeting me for … [Read more...]

Cottonelle Dry and Wet |Teaching Ethan a Clean Routine #cottonelleroutine Parents of boys will understand me when I say this... I needed some help teaching Ethan how to clean up after himself. Ethan is my fourth child, so you would think I would have this down pat. But, as hard as he tries Ethan has been having difficulty cleaning himself. This is leading to some serious rashes on his back side. Baby wipes are a thing of the past in our … [Read more...]

Sunday Dinner: A Tradition Worth Bringing Back
by 12 Comments
Sunday Dinner: A Tradition Worth Bringing Back The Sunday dinner used to be ubiquitous in our culture. Even families who weren’t religious would come together once a week to sit down to a big meal and just…be together. Sometimes extended family members or family friends would join in the fun. No matter what though, parents and kids sat down for one big family meal every week. We’ve gotten away from that in our increasingly disconnected … [Read more...]
Cottage Cheese Pancake Recipe | Easy, Healthy and Protein Packed
by 29 Comments
Cottage Cheese Pancake Recipe I love to treat my family to pancakes, but typical carb filled pancakes do not settle well with me and I end up hungry soon after. I had resorted to only taking a bite or two until I found these Cottage Cheese pancakes. These are higher in protein, fill me quickly and keep me full! If you don't really like cottage cheese, it's ok! My kids had no idea these were not the regular pancakes I usually serve them. Ethan … [Read more...]
