Hello, my name is Jodi and someone has asked for an update on me.  Yes, me.   Now that it is getting warmer I spend alot of time outside.  When that happens one of the bigger kids is watching me and that leaves Mom lots of time to do other things so she is usually not [...]

My goal, when possible, is to get the kids (and myself) out of the house each and every day.  We watch the weather carefully and if there is going to be a day with weather above 45* we get all bundled up and head out – even if only for 15 minutes.
This particular day it [...]

Now you listen here, you baby.  I’m the boss here.  I’m bigger than you and I’m a year old after all.
Actually, Jodi, that baby is older than you.

Huh?  But she’s smaller and not as smart and Mother Dear, that just can’t be.
It is true, Daughter Dear.  But you are cuter!

I’m just not sure what to [...]

My baby is 8 months old now and it is always so fun to see a child’s personality emerge.  Jodi loves being outside.  She’d be outside before she’d be anywhere else, it seems.  The other day it rained and we were forced to open the front door so Jodi could sit in front of it [...]

Me: It’s a good [...]

We have always been pretty relaxed about our babies.  It’s never been a big deal to us if baby is toted around and kinda passed about.  So long as everybody is happy and no one is crying it’s all good.  Plus that means I am able to do other fun things…like laundry…and cooking.  Uh-huh.

So there we were last night, the kids already fed and tucked in bed.  I wanted a steak.  In years past it was kind of a tradition to have a steak dinner after the kids were slumbering.  Thankfully we had two steaks left from our grass fed beef stash. 
As I was preparing the meat [...]

Hey Mom, we need to talk.

Yes Jodi?
You know I don’t like to inconvenience you.  I just ask that you hold me constantly, feed me with great regularity, pat my back at all hours of the day and night, sleep with me, give me lots of kisses, rock me in the rocker, change my stinky pants, [...]
