Motherhood Without Warning

It was so cute I had to get a video. And then, oops. I should've been paying attention and had both hands ready to catch him as he fell off the spinning chair. At least at Spring Canyon Park there is nice soft foamy stuff to fall on. What a parenting fail...

I have 3 kids. There are some things that don't surprise me anymore and several that still do. Comfort objects or Loveys, come and go. Usually it's the stuffed monkeys for the twin boys and it used to be a talking baby doll named Cici, for  my daughter...

There are so many candies to go with each holiday, but I find that Easter is the one that brings me the most temptation. I'm a texture person. And I find, that certain Easter chocolates have exactly what I want in a piece of chocolate. Cadbury Mini Eggs have a dry crunchy shell and that thick malty chocolate inside...

Holidays are more fun with kids, especially if you dive head first into some crafts. These easy Easter hand print and foot print crafts to do with kids are really cool. Thanks Pinterest! Get messy and have some fun.

This kid has some kind of future ahead. Reasoning with a toddler is never fun, but this 3 year-old little guy is bold, makes eye contact, using his hands and calls his mother by her first name. "Listen, listen, listen, Linda". Someone, give this kids his cupcake...

This great graphic is floating around on Facebook and I think it's genius. I learned by using money, but I think the visual with the Lego pieces is far more understandable. Great idea!!

I'm one of those people. I drive a minivan with a sticker portrayal of our family, well, sorta, our family. You know the family stickers. You can get them in stick drawings or zombies, colors, I even saw a Pac-Man family one time. It depicts the size of the family, gender and age of members and sometimes includes family pets...

My daughter Tula is full of questions all day long. Many of them began with "why" or "how". She often asks about dinosaurs, planets, first inhabitants of earth and death. She challenges us with her inquisitive nature. It's been so fun to watch her find answers to her very inquistive mind...

Many times I've noticed my kids come out of not feeling well to show off some new genius. Like the hours or days of sick time, made their inner amazing-ness build up. This picture is one of those. 6 hours before these were made, poor little Tula was the stomach flu queen...

Kids ages 6 and under skate for just $3 and parents skate free. They also have an indoor playground and kids "turtle" scooters you can enjoy, if you need more than skating...

The Musical Zoo put on by the The Fort Collins Symphony Guild will take place at Timberline Church. The Musical Zoo will have thirteen 15 minute performances, a petting zoo and instruments for your little ones to play...

I'll be 35 this year. I've never been one to fear aging, or complain about it's side effects. Oh, perhaps, because it's side effects are just now kicking in. Darn! I recently realized how dull and dry my skin has started looking. I realized I've just been using whatever on my face for the last several years and I might need something different...
