I tuck her in. I sing an off tune melody because heaven knows I'm not a singer. I fold my arms as she prays and I listen to her simple prayer of gratitude. I kiss her on her forehead and tell her she's the best. Sometimes I crawl in the sheets and her face lights up and we

I sat in the very back row of Sacrament meeting. My husband was home with the baby and a sick kid. I had the other 4. We were a party even before we sat down. My high heels clonking the wood floor as we entered and my kids already bickering about our spot. That was only the beginning.

Calling all Oreo lovers!! I created this recipe using an "Oreo ball" recipe that we are obsessed with. Warning though, these cookies are deliciously addicting.

It was 5 am and I was nursing my sick baby in bed. My eyes were closed and I was half awake when I felt a rush of warmth seep through my shirt. I could tell right away that he had leaked and him and I both were covered in urine. That basically described my whole week. My

Right now I'm in survival mode. My toddler is recovering from pneumonia and just got home from a 2 day stay at the hospital and now my baby doesn't sound great either. Every person I have seen says "You look tired" and that's not an exaggeration. As a Mom, I like to think of my responsibilities as a
