I am always looking for fun and personal gift ideas for Father’s Day! I love when the kids can get involved, especially the younger ones! Most of the time for Father’s Day we just try to pamper our guy as much as we can to make him feel special! Homemade gifts, his favorite foods and lots of what Dad loves! To make things a bit easier, I created this fun Father’s Day printable for the…
Lately I have found myself surrounded by a lot of negativity and drama. There is drama in my every day life as a working mother but I can’t help but notice the abundance of drama bubbling up lately. Unfortunately sometimes it is hard to avoid it and even though it doesn’t necessarily involve me, I find myself caught up in it somehow. My parents divorced when I was 13 and that was probably the first,…
Everyone is so excited about the school year being over! But I can’t decide who is more excited. The kids all have dreams of lazy mornings, cartoons and pool time all the while Mom and Dad have dreams of easier morning routines, lax bedtimes and no homework! But with this buzz of excitement comes the spark of the frayed nerves and short fuses. The kids are exhausted. I feel like everything is a huge battle…
Last weekend we took the kids on a mini-vacation to Indianapolis and we all had a blast! It was the first time for the kids to stay in a hotel and the first time for all of us at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Our entire trip (the two hour drive included) went really well! We loaded up and left right after school on Friday and drove straight through to Indianapolis…no stops! Chase and Vayda…
Today is Mother’s Day. As I woke this morning I got excited, thinking “Yes, today is my day. The day I get to let everyone else do my job!” The kids woke up, one by one and with Erik sleeping like a log next to me (being the least morning person between the two of us) I kind of got excited knowing he would have to be the first to get up. The one to figure…
Mondays are dreaded by everyone. It’s that first day back to work. Everyone is back to school. The routine starts over. No more lazy mornings, late breakfasts and lax bedtimes. It’s Monday. The start of a new week. And after your morning rush, backpacks and kids are dropped at school, the baby to the sitter and you are at your desk, working the day away. Then finally its quitting time and you’ve made it! You…
As a mother you want to do the very best for your baby. Only you know what is best for your child and your family! Whether you decide to bottle feed or breastfeed your new baby, there are always obstacles to overcome and having the right products to help is SO important! I have breastfed all five of my munchkins and I am super proud of that! (Yay!) With each one I learned and grew and…
There were big happenings at the Fiely house this past weekend. Our sweet girl, our fourth baby, had her FIRST birthday! Man that year went fast! Read all about the fun pink & gold first birthday party we threw for our Vayda Mae! First Birthday Party I often wonder why we celebrate first birthdays like the greatest of all birthdays. Are we celebrating the survival of the first year? All those sleepless nights? Shouldn’t every…
