Oh my gosh, my kids love those words. Do yours? Wait. What’s “Brinner” you ask? Oh, that’s breakfast for dinner, Brinner. At least that is what we call it around here. And it’s a HIT!! Everyone in our house, including the dog, could eat bacon for every meal so that’s a no-brainer and along with…
Summer Happy! (+ $110 to Target!)
Our Summer is flying by! Ooh look it’s already July. How’d that happen? Thankfully, we’ve had some fun and I have not heard “I’m bored” too many times to count. Okay, maybe I’ve just ignored it a few lots of times… Anywho, yes, we’ve done some stuff, maybe not everything I listed here (yet) but…
Sum-sum-summa Time!
I can already see the syrupy popsicle, dripping down my middle child’s chin. I can see my little girl’s goggled-face smile as she comes up from under the water and my oldest’s feet coming before him on the slide at the pool. His BIG feet. My kids are stoked for summer, as am I. Last year I…
A Friend of the Blog (Best) Kind. #HappyMamas
I found friends on the internet a while ago. As the story goes, shortly after I started my blog a friend of a friend sent me an email about something and at the end of her message there was a link to her blog. Once I visited her space, I discovered she had links to many other…
Lucky Day! Happy Mamas March
The other day, Gavin brought me a large clover he pulled from our backyard and asked me if it was lucky. I told him that it was not seen as lucky because it did not have four different sets of leaves, only three, as you typically find. I explained that it is considered extremely “lucky” to find…

These Kids, They are Special
Sometimes when I really start to think about my children and their qualities and uniqueness, I get teary. Okay wait. EVERY time I think about those things, I get teary. I mean, they’re my kids. And one of the things I love about them MOST is their uniqueness. Sure, some of their “qualities” get on…
Growing Things & #HappyMamaSummer $125 Giveaway!
The boys’ school planted a garden back in the Spring and K and I went to assist on the day the soon-to-be pepper, tomato and zucchini squash plants went into the prepared earth. It was really great to see all the kids, teachers and some parents (even grandparents) working on it together. A few tomato plants were…
Mothers, Mothers Everywhere!
In the last few weeks I have listened to so much and read a lot and felt so much about Motherhood. Because of that and also because of the phase I am at in my life, the meaning behind the act of Motherhood seems to be taking on new life for me. Recently I came to the epiphany that I…
Because I’m Happ-ee-ee-ee!
If you don’t know the song then you may not “get” the title of this post. And if you REALLY do not know the song then you’ve been living under a rock. If that is the case, I’m sorry, that must have been dark and claustrophobic. But we’re so glad you’re back!! (I know, I’m…
