If you are a long time reader of Mom vs. the Boys you may remember some past posts about my little friends with great courage, Ryley and O. If you are new here, let me give you a quick run down- both O and Ryley had heart transplants before their first birthdays. So organ donation is near and dear to our hearts and I am lucky to have Joanna's facebook status (Ryley's Mom) to keep me in the loop on the campaign to raise awareness on organ donation. Well, on Saturday I saw Joanna's status had … [Read more...]

You used to hear it all the time before you had kids, then you made your own little mini me's and found out it was true. That no matter what you buy the little ones, they love to play with the box! I thought this was likely a stage for infants only, the box and tissue paper are just so fascinating that they don't care about the toy, but as my boys grew the novelty of a box never wore off. Boys love to play in boxes! Big ones are awesome for making houses and crawling into, small ones are perfect … [Read more...]

Little Buddy has been increasingly silly at bedtime, you know, sneaking out of his room, running around the house, turning the tv on in our room for a watch, keeping his brothers up late..... it was getting bad. We tried a few different tactics to tame the beast including removing a stuffy from his room every time we had to put him back in it. This worked for a little bit but it didn't take long before he would run like a mad man back in there, throw a stuffy out the door and slam it … [Read more...]

I remember the day we carefully picked you out and took you home. It was Valentine's Day, which seems fitting now, as you became the focal point in a room that was bursting with love. I remember how proud and excited I was to have finally painted that room exactly how I had envisioned.To have helped in building and arranging all the pieces to provide a perfect space to both calm and stimulate growing minds.After the long wait, it was time. I remember the first time I laid my … [Read more...]

Mom vs. the Boys has some swanky new digs and it's long long overdue! Check out these before pics of my old office, I've had that desk and nightstand since I was about 12! After 23 years, it had seen better days and we moved it on to the boys bedroom closet until we decide if she belongs in ancient burial grounds or has a little life in her still. Pretty boring right? the room looks almost empty and we've lived in this house for 8 years lol Now on to the after pics, we actually … [Read more...]
