Happy St. Patty's Day

Talk about Irish gold! Have a great weekend, enjoy your green beer, and don't forget to pinch the humbugs!

Training Monkeys

Have you ever tried to train a monkey? They're wild, unpredictable, and loud - not to mention the bug eating and poop throwing. Everything is bound to be more interesting *coughchaoticcough* when there are monkeys involved.

On the upside, moneys are smart, resourceful, and darn cute! See?

Today I have to try to keep 3/4 of my brood in line while we go to the doctor for well visits. My monkey girl is getting her 6 month check, even though she turned 7 months old yesterday, and my littlest boy is having his 2 year done. This should be interesting. Coughchaoticcough Sorry, don't know what happened there. Maybe I should see the doctor?

I'm back!

Hello, blogosphere. It seems like ages since we last met. Actually, it has been 2 years and some odd months... so ages isn't exactly an exaggeration. I've missed the readers, I've missed the outlet that blogging is for me, and I've missed connecting with so many amazing people across the globe. As my family has grown, my world has shrunk and become a small hub around me. I want to open myself back up to all of you. Today my kitchen is (mostly) clean, the littlest monkeys are napping, and now looks like a great time to reconnect!

When we left off,my husband and I only had 2 little boys. Like I said before, our family has continued to grow and we have been blessed with 2 more children - the 4th, a girl. We've also come back home to the south, although to a city we had neither explored nor lived in. Life is it's own adventure, I suppose, and my monkeys keep it interesting.

So keep your eyes (and bananas) peeled, because there is so much fun to come!

BlogHer is Underway

I am so green with envy! I know I've been scarce (to say the least) lately, but in all honesty I was just so bummed after finding out that I wasn't going to be able to attend BlogHer that just logging into the blog felt like a chore. I was forcing myself to do it, and I figured it was better to take a much needed rest, than to force feed ill-written posts upon you guys. No one wins in that respect.

Now I was reading all of the posts of excited bloggers who are arriving and participating in BlogHer, as we speak. There is so much energy, so much motivation, and so much fun that I can't help but catch on! Be sure to check out The Ohana Mama, My Sentiment Exact Lee, and No Time For Flashcards for their fabulous Blogher posts and giveaway!

Coming Out of Hiatus!

HEllo my lovelies! It has been quite a while since I have updated with a new post, and the warm summer sun is to blame! I have been soaking up the time spent outdoors with my beautiful boys, and enjoy the last couple of months before my oldest starts preschool. I will be posting less often during these summertime months, but I wanted to tell everyone about an amazing opportunity to win a Britax Advocate Careseat. This is a nearly $400 prize that will keep your baby safe and snug from birth to 65lbs!!! Check out the contest on The Mom Buzz and look at the video demonstrating the fabulousness of Britax and necessity of a proper carseat.
