August has been jam-packed with fun, family vacationing, and celebrating. And with that has come many first for us and our girls. It’s funny to me how such joyous events can bring that little lump in your throat because it reminds you that time is so short. Kids are growing faster than you want them […]

All The Marks of a GREAT Summer
It’s only the beginning of July and we’ve already experienced days upon days of beautiful and unusually warm weather for us Alaskans! So this blog post will be short on words because, well… a picture is worth a 1000 words, as the saying goes… Elli eating on our front patio Sadie & Nya in their […]
Lions & Tigers & Bears Oh My!!
…ok, so not really any lions, and maybe just one tiger, but still ~ the Alaska Zoo was a blast for the Shenanigans. Of allllll the things Ty could do for his 30th birthday he chose to skip out on free tickets to a motivational speaking seminar and join his girls at the zoo. And […]

Which Is Grosser?
…. barf or diarrhea? … or how bout both mixed? Ya, I know. Disgusting. That’s what I got to clean up in Nya’s high chair after finally getting both girls to bed tonight (a tiny miracle in itself). My poor babies are both sick so my day started out with cleaning up puke and ended […]
Who Made The Moon & Stars?
So it turns out I get a lot of praise from the hubby for blogging, which in turn motivates me to do it more! I think I get way more “atta-girls” for blogging than doing the laundry or cooking so I’ve decided I’ll let those things go and spend that extra time blogging every day… […]

Burning The Midnight Oil
I think I’m starting to understand the true meaning of the statement “Momma burns the midnight oil”. There was an old song with that title and somehow from listening to it I got the impression that “momma burning the midnight oil” went something like this. Momma tucks her beautiful children into bed, turns out the […]
