True love

In a few weeks Caleb and I will celebrate our four year anniversary. It's gotten me thinking about love.

True love to me is:
-Pulling a tick out my leg with tweezers.
-Doing the dishes
-Telling me I'm beautiful, even when you think my hairdo is weird.
-Watching the kids so I can go to book club
-Getting up to soothe the crying baby at 3am
-Buying me french fries when I'm crying.

I'm grateful Caleb is fluent in my love language!

Another punch in the mommy card.

Years from now at some high school reunion someone will ask me to name my greatest life accomplishment. I'm pretty sure my answer will be "potty training my children."

I'm back in Indiana, and the weather still stinks.

Hello, all of my faithful blog followers (all 14 of you). I have returned from a 3 week vacation and am ready to resume normal life. For this post I will share some lessons learned for a travelling parent.

Lesson 1: 

When flying alone with two children, it is perfectly acceptable to let your infant sleep on the floor AND shamelessly bribe your 2-year-old with candy. Anything to keep the noise level and movement to a minimum.

Lesson 2:

Looking for a fun family activity? Have a unique pizza night! I made a Bacon Brussel Sprout pizza, compliments of the CPK menu. MMM.

Lesson 3:

Dads make the best babysitters.

Lesson 4:

Exercise is a way of life, and should even be done on vacation. The men in our family prefer push-ups.

Lesson 5:

Seatbelt laws do not apply for sisters.

Lesson 6:

The Mothers' Lounge is a great place to take a baby during church for a nap--even if that baby isn't yours.

Lesson 7:

When en route to the airport, be sure to give yourself plenty of travelling time in case you drive over debris, shred your tire, and have to put on the spare in freezing weather and 40mph winds. Worst travelling day ever.
