Some simple, wholesome and healthy breakfast ideas that your little ones will love! Plus, why I quit trying to be the

When I became a Mom I had a whole lot of aspirations. Mountains of them. I wanted to make cute things for my baby, read her books every day and season every word with grace and love.
...part of being the "perfect" Mom meant making cute, kid friendly meals for my little girl, which were often time consuming and impractical. I have since toned it down to about 5 simple and wholesome meals that my kids love.
I'm going to share them here for inspiration for those weeks you have a hard time thinking past cold cereal, but want to. And to just say "it's ok to be a normal Mom, who makes normal food and does ordinary things and loves her kids fiercely despite the fact they only get oatmeal and pb&honey sandwiches instead of a beautiful palm tree scene made out of fruit. :) So...my favorite non-cold-cereal breakfasts for my toddlers... {Read more}

We've all had those seasons in life when we need some truly entertaining activities for our little ones that require minimal to no Mommy supervision or set-up time. Maybe it's just a sick day or weeks of morning sickness. Maybe you're going through a pretty big life transition like a new baby or moving. Or maybe Mommy just needs a little quiet time herself. Whatever the case, it's often hard to be able to creatively think about something your little toddler can do that will keep them entertained without needing a lot of help. I am also a firm believer in the need for daily quiet time with Mommy chosen toys to help grow a child's imagination and self entertainment/contentment skills. A child's imagination has absolutely no room to grow when they're surrounded with tons of toys all day. Taking a little time in a quiet space with only one specific toy is so good for brain and skills development... {Read more}

He said he just felt strange and had a bad foreboding as he walked out of the camper trailer he lived in. We helped him into the ambulance and hooked him up to the heart monitor.

We were a thrown together crew that day. With no members paid to be on call there were days when it was hard to get a crew. Like that day. We had a fireman driving, an EMT who's "real" job didn't let her go on more than 1 or 2 calls a month, an EMT student and myself.

Our patient suddenly started showing signs of acute heart problems and we called the helicopter... {Read more}

Mommy. This word has suddenly taken on a new identity with me. Before Kade came being a Mommy was all things pink and purple and hair-bows and dollies. And keeping Jakki out of the loft, off the top of the couch, the top of the table - off the top of everything in the house and in her sight. ;) It was having a tea party for the first time and cuddling with a book before nap-time.

And it's still all that. It's also triple the diapers, double the baths, extra cuddle time and laundry on the couch. It's deciding which munchkin to comfort first when they're both crying. All you Mommies out there know all about it... {Read More}
