I can’t think of one mom I know that is not looking forward to summertime. We are all NATZ: In A Tizzy. I start dreaming of summer in late April, and start counting the down the days at the beginning of May. Our family’s schedule is crazier in April and May than Christmas time. Is [...]
With the summer season coming up, and the many anticipated vacations that are synonymous with it, I thought I might provide a few tips I’ve picked up along the way for traveling with little ones.
Plan for extra time. If you’re flying, really do get to the airport 2 hours early, so you don’t have to [...]
We are BIG hunters in our family. Everyone hunts but me; even my daughter killed two does this season. My fam loves to shoot guns and hunt animals. They’re not too bad at it either. Everything they kill we eat, and we have eaten very well this winter. It may sound contradictory that the words preservation and conservation would [...]
Spring has sprung, even here in Michigan! And while our early warm weather means we can justify biking to Dairy Queen already (whoo hoo!), can already play baseball in the park and basketball in our driveway, can already have squirt gun fights and break out the water table, most importantly it means it’s time to start our garden!

Hopson and I often hear how lucky we are to have such a great family. We have been happily married for over 18 years and have four beautiful, healthy, wonderful, funny, obedient children.

As I am about to begin my fourth (FOURTH!) round of day care interviews and visits, I consider myself a bit of an expert on the [...]
from The Help
These are three of the best lines ever written. If you haven’t read the book The Help, please go get it. It’s not just the words but how they are said. When Aibileen Clark comforts Mae Mobley with these words you can hear her heart in [...]
There are times when, as a parent, I really just want a break. Every parent gets there at some point, right? It’s occasional, but I definitely do.
Like this past weekend, when I was sicker than a dog, glued to the toilet, exhausted as all get-out…and so were the kids.
Seriously, how completely unfair [...]
January has always been considered a time of new beginnings. Out with the old and in with the new…A time to forgive and forget…A time for a fresh start…Turn over a new leaf. Have I used enough of the New Year sayings yet? I’m not crazy about January being a time for starting over. I [...]
The beginning of every new year as a parent of a Christmas-celebrating household finds us scrambling and struggling to find storage space for the masses of loot that Santa has yet again brought. (Even if there is a Santa, does he HAVE to be so generous?)
Of course [...]
