You know how you always get gifts from people for your kids that you would never buy? Well that’s what happened to me. Faith got a tattoo kit for Christmas. I put it aside thinking I would wait until the spring or summer to use it with them. I figured lots of water would be necessary to wash it off. The fact that there are markers in that kit was also a good indication that lots of cleaning would be involved.
As normal on Saturday morning, I got up to go shopping and left the kids with my husband. They knew

I am seriously tired of being the bad cop in my house. Come on my kids are wonderful but they aren’t perfect!!! Why does my husband think that its ok to come home at night and act that way?

I had a friend asking me what I did to get used to a new baby in the house. Here are my suggestions to her:

When you have a new baby plus a two-year-old running around, there’s no way to nap when the baby naps, so you have to buckle down and get the whole family on a routine. On the rare occasion they may both be sleeping at the same time, lay down even if you cannot get any actual
