Hello!

Hello!
Welcome to my blog. I am Stefanie and I am a mother of 3 and I am currently expecting. I have a boy, David who is almost 13. That's a big age, because it has the word TEEN in it, so he will be a teen. Not the little baby I took home from the hospital, or the toddler that threw the tantrums, or the child that lost his two front teeth and I loved how he sounded missing them. Nope he will automatically be a teen. Which is basically a grown man. Then we have Sophia who will be 10 soon. That's two whole hands! She is the only girl and came into this world with her a head full of crazy hair and even crazier personailty. Then almost a decade later we welcomed Joseph this past February. He is worth the wait. He has a smile that lights up the world and he is just the sweetest little man ever. And if that didn't keep up busy we are expecting another boy in January. I'll pause while you do the math... actually I'll just tell you. They will be 11 months apart. That is correct for about a month a year they will be the same age. The first question I have gotten is "Were you trying?" Or "You do know how babies are made, right?". I won't be answering either but we are happy to be expecting again, although we weren't expecting to be expecting this quickly. Or even at all. But things happen and after the shock wore off we are good to go and super excited! So with two stages of children, and doubling our family in less than 2 years, on top of having a whole squad of other mothers in my corner I am Happily Mothering!

Goodbye summer... Hello school days!

This is the calm before the storm. This is the night before we are back to routines, homework, projects, school lunches, book fairs, fundraisers... it's the night before the first day of school. I was so excited to have school end last year. I worked part time so I'd have 2 extra days during the week with the kids over the summer. The excitement lasted for like a week. I am pretty sure David and Sophia woke up and had a meeting making sure that they would fight over the silliest things that woukd snowball into crying and yelling. They made sure that whatever we tried to do would be ruined by the constant tattling on each other, fighting over who would sit where and who would push the buttons. Let me just remind you because it does seem as if I am talking about toddlers but no my friends, they are 13 and almost 10. I think when puberty comes around they regress into toddlers again only to get upset and saddened over the same silly things that once bothered them as 2yr olds...

Mom life

Hello!      So being pregnant with my 4th child and having a 7 month old at home and working full time I get people asking how I do it. Like it's an option? I just do it. If I didn't do it all then who would? Does anyone have little fairies that I don't know about? Lunches need to be made, homework needs to get done, diapers changed and bottles warmed. If I don't go food shopping or school shopping then my kids would go hungry and naked. There are times when I don't think I can do it. Especially when this lil guy is out in the world needing me just as much if not more than my other three. If I am at my max with washing, cleaning, bathing, feeding, taking each from place to place and back again now how will I do it? And just like always I will power through. Fueled by caffeine, sense of humor and the love of my children. That's what it's all about. There will be bad days I'm sure. I will feel like a failure or inadequate. I will cry. Also a side n...

6 months already!?

Hello! So something happened today. My little baby boy that I feel like just came home from the hospital is 6 months old. I'm not sure if our life is just crazier or because I'm already cooking the next one or what but this has gone by so very quickly. Joseph keeps us busy and on our toes. I feel like he came home already rolling over and wanting to just always be on the move. He is army crawling although he always starts out with good intentions on his knees. He loves sweet potatoes and bananas the most but overall is a great eater. He loves teething biscuits and just anything in his mouth. He has become very drooly so it's that waiting game where for what seems like months you think your child is getting a tooth. With my older two it felt like they came out teething only to wait months upon months of blaming everything on them teething to actually maybe it wasn't them teething. His smile lights up the room and I dare anyone not to smile back. David and Sophia ad...
