Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a good weekend. We tried to just relax as much as possible because last week was such a long, busy week for us. Relaxing when you have five kids is a little different than relaxing with no kids, however, so we still stayed a little busy. Friday we had doctors appointments for the kids,…
Mom. Wife. Wine. has been nominated for its first ever award and I am so excited about it!! I am so flattered and beyond honored about the nomination for the Mystery Blogger Award. I received the nomination from Morgan at Binkies, Bottles, and Babies and I would like to first thank her before I get started. Morgan is an amazing…
Yesterday was my husband’s birthday. It was not exciting at all… he got his gift early (last) week, which was a circular saw and the rest of his gifts won’t be here until tomorrow because I’m a crappy wife and ordered them late. He went to work, after work he rushed home to grab Sylas and Josie and then rushed…
I love Wine Wednesday. Gives me an actual *reason* to indulge in wine, know what I mean? 😉 This week I’m going to talk about Flipside, which is a dry red blend. The cherry in this blend is very overwhelming, both when smelling and tasting. I also smelled hints of cocoa and pepper. Again, the taste has an overwhelming dark cherry…
What’s better than an activity that involves letter recognition, cutting, and gluing? An activity that the kids LOVE and one that holds their attention for a while, right? What if I told you this activity does ALL OF THAT? I’m serious. I was inspired by Playful Learning in the Early Years. She did this activity on a poster-size scale and…
How can it be that my first born is four years old? My sweet Sylas… the baby who taught me how to be a mom, how to successfully breastfeed, how to change a diaper on my lap, how to love with my whole entire heart. We learned all the hard parts together and formed a bond greater than anything I…
It’s Friday so I’m here to share some of my favorite pins from the week!! I love all the different ideas that can be found on Pinterest. Lego Zip Line from Little Bins for Little Hands -How cool is this?! My boys LOVE legos and with their age difference (6 years) it’s hard to find things that they both enjoy. I’m…
While we were outside playing today I wanted to do a learning activity with the toddlers. We hadn’t done much all day because Liam had a reaction to eggs and it threw our day off a little while we dealt with that. The kids were using sidewalk chalk so I grabbed a couple pieces myself and wrote out the names…
My toddlers are obsessed with the big bad wolf right now, Josie especially. Her favorite is The 3 Little Pigs but she’s also really enjoying Little Red Riding Hood. We read the books pretty often and I also found a couple YouTube videos of each story that the kids really like. Josie always asks to watch this “scary” Three Little…
Sylas’ 4th birthday is this weekend and my phone has been blowing up with people asking what he would like for his birthday. That’s a tough question to answer when I hadn’t really even thought about it myself. For inspiration, I decided to head over to Amazon and come up with a 4 year old boy gift guide. He’s a…
