You know when you hear a song and it seems to speak to your soul? That was this song for me. While it is a love song, it wasn't a romantic notion that made my heart swell. It was more than that. This song has a different meaning for me, and relates to our days of infertility. Believe it or not, this mom of three in three years was once considered infertile. And as we miscarried and waited our turn, after congratulating endless friends on their new arrivals, it was hard to be Brave. How can I … [Read more...]

When Boys Like Pink

For the record I am well versed on gender stereotyping. I sat through a number of college courses on the subject and we do give our boys plenty of room to like whatever they like, even if that includes what main stream media feels is for girls. They've had a cabbage patch doll since they were about that same size, they hang with Dora on a regular basis and I confidently proclaimed the Beauty and the Beast toothbrush to be perfect when the dental hygenist tried convincing my son to choose the … [Read more...]

Boy Adventures ~ Water Falls

It was the last week of Summer when we met a grandma on the playground who told us about this neat little watering hole she liked to take her kids to when they were little and still brings her granddaughter. It sounded like a great adventure to us, so we made sure to fit this visit in before Summer came to a close. Now, I don't think we played where she intended us too, as there is a nice swimming area that has easy access, but our family has an adventurous spirit and we wandered downstream to … [Read more...]

If you pop over to visit me here at Mom vs. the Boys on a regular basis, you probably already know that my boys love Pirates! Their Aussie Uncle knows this too, which is why he gave one of them a pirate activity book for their birthdays back at the beginning of June. The book called, "Pirate things to make and do" was filled with instructions on making pirate swords, telescopes, treasure chests and more plus it came with some shiny pirate stickers. With our Summer holidays just days away with a … [Read more...]

Their whole lives you teach your children to hold your hand Never leave your side Stay where you can see them Wear a seat belt to Not talk to strangers..... And then the first day of school arrives and you put that tiny four year old on a big yellow school bus full of kids bouncing in their seats and watch it drive off.... You silently wish them luck and hope that they are safe While your gut tells you everything about this is wrong and your head tells you it's the right … [Read more...]
