We did more learning about July 4th yesterday and today. We are also starting the day out by saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Yesterday the kids learned about fireworks and how they work. Today they did several 4th of July books that were read on YouTube. It’s not perfect, but I don’t have any books …
Fabulously Fat and Fit Pregnancy Continued
My gestational diabetes saga continues. After pulling myself together and changing my attitude, I did talk with my insurance and discovered they do cover a glucometer and they are sending me a free one. They told me to contact the pharmacy to get my free test strips for said glucometer and that was a NIGHTMARE. …
Simple and Delicious Tacos
What is better than tacos? It’s probably a toss up in our house between tacos and nachos to be honest. We could live on tacos or nachos! Add in a night with a quesadilla and we’d have it made. Who doesn’t love tacos? They are pretty simple to make, they’re good for a crowd, and …
July 4th Crafting and Learning
July 4th is right around the corner. Like it is in a few days. How did we already get to July?? I admit my concept of time has been way off since we have been home since March so maybe that’s why I can’t believe we are in July. Some days it feels like we …

Gestational Diabetes Update
This is going to be a brutally honest post with some real emotions for me. I have put off doing this post because it will be really personal for me. In my Fabulously Fat and Fit Pregnancy post I talked about how I have tried to stay healthy and fit this pregnancy. There have been …
Potty Training
Y’all we are semi potty training in our house. My littlest has started showing an interest in using the potty. I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and encourage him and let him go especially since I can’t keep ANY clothes on the boy. I have seriously tried every outfit they …
Rain, Rain Go Away? Maybe Not!
Rainy days can be so hard when you have littles. Or at least if they are like mine and LOVE being outside most of the day. Rainy days usually equate to being stuck inside until the rain clears. But does it have to be that way? If it isn’t thundering and lightening do you have …
