They say three moves equals a fire. If that’s true, our house has burned down more than three times in our family’s short history. All those moves have forced regular purges of the kids’ toy collections. We’ve tossed boxes and boxes of things we wished we never bought. Things that broke easily or never got…
Hi there! I’m Veronica, from Nine A Plenty, and I’m the really happy mom of nine amazing kids. (I usually take the pictures, so this photo of me with one of them will have to do!) We have a busy, crazy life, but it’s the best one around. I’m not the most clever mom, but…
I have a little girl who loves to craft. This same little girl loves to mess up her room. I admire her creativity, but despise her destruction…they seem to go hand in hand. She can make literally anything out of a few broken pencils, shredded pieces of paper, hair bows, and strands of Barbie hair. …
I believe that part of my responsibility, as a parent, is to teach my children about happiness. The other day, I was shopping and saw this sign on the wall that said, “Happiness Is Not A Destination, It’s A Way Of Life.” Yes, YES! That is so true. I want my kids to understand that…
I’m Serene, wife of eight years and mother of five adorable children whom I contemplate duct taping together only about twice a day. So all in all I think I’m doing rather well! I don’t pretend to know what the heck I’m doing, so I just do it. I believe women worry too much…
My name is Sarah and I blog at Clover Lane where I write about raising children, about staying home and slowing down, and appreciating these days that fly by us. I have a husband of 18 years, and five children, 4 boys and 1 (thank gosh almighty) girl. The oldest is 17 and the youngest…

I’ve possibly beaten this topic to death, I fear. When I was given this assignment from Land O’ Lakes, I was like, “What else can I say? I’m plum out of creative ideas.” I already told you about the cooking lessons I’m giving my picky eater. I’ve told you about the ‘food critic’ assignments we’ve…
We just decided that we are going to take the kiddos and drive up to Washington (from Utah) to visit my brother-in-law. That part sounds great, love the dude and his family. But, the drive? With 5 little kids?? I’m hoping for the best. I know I’ve shared several posts with you before, with lots…
We’ve all heard it said before, “Oh, you’re supermom.” “Of course, you can do it. You’re supermom.” What the heck does that even mean? Does it mean “perfect mom”? Do we really think anyone is a 100% PERFECT mom?? I’ve decided that “supermom” can mean different things to different people, but it usually encompasses several…
Hello again! This is Nicole from Taulman Times. I’ve posted here a couple of times in the past, with my advice on birthday parties, giving May Baskets, how to keep your kids healthy in the sick season and the how-to’s of beginning to homeschool. In my every day life I am married to my engineering…
