A few weeks ago, I was getting all the kids’ haircuts at Snippets when I noticed they sold Piggie Paint at the counter. Pedicures and manicures are my favorite thing in the world – always have been – but I don’t keep nail polish in the house because I never do my own nails. I go to the salon a...
My only daughter turned 1 Year Old today. In her first year on this planet, she has already given me so many beautiful experiences and memories. She has taught me so much more about myself, my husband, and my boys than I ever thought possible. On her first day, she gave me my glorious homebirth experience — and she helped...
A few days ago, HH told me that I have a “special bond” with the baby. I asked him what he meant and he said that he thought I just seemed closer to Jolene. To him, it seems like I’m happier when I’m with her than when I’m with the boys. I know what he’s referencing. Jolene makes me feel...

On Sunday I had just come from getting my hair cut when I got a call from my dad. He had the boys overnight like he often does, but he wasn’t planning on dropping them off for...
We’ve been planning for HH to have a vasectomy for years. We knew as soon as we were done having babies that would be the birth control method we’d utilize. I will not consider an IUD because I have scars inside my uterus, and the idea of having a foreign object near them totally freaks me out. Hormonal birth control...
In December, I talked about how relieved I was that Hyphenated Husband was finally graduating with his two teaching certificates, and how much better his new schedule would be for our family. For three years, he worked all day in an office, then worked a second job on nights and weekends as a basketball referee. On top of that, he...
