We’re Being Watched
By: Lyndsay Crews I caught my 2-year-old daughter in the bathroom with my make up bag open. Thankfully, she was putting on blush and had not made it to the mascara yet. My 3-year-old daughter asked to have a salad for lunch. She ate approximately 2 bites and has not asked for one since, but […]

One Thing Worth Adding to the ‘To-Do List’
By: Lyndsay Crews I constantly have a to-do list running through my brain…even on a day devoted to mommas being pampered (Mother’s Day), it doesn’t stop. The mental check lists look something like this: laundry, dishes, make dinner, pack lunches, pick up kids, basketball practice, dance lesson, birthday parties…oh no, what day is it? There […]

Feel the Burn
By: Lyndsay Crews We like to have bon fires at my house. Correction….my husband likes to have bon fires and the kids and I like the s’mores. We were enjoying the s’mores (ahem..I mean fire) when my 13-month old decided he wanted to touch the fire. Great idea. He was squirming out of my lap […]

You Need a Shower
By: Lyndsay Crews My children like to play outside. At this point, it looks like we’re headed more towards the marching band and are less likely to play in the NFL, but that’s just us. While playing outside, my children have an ability to find the one and only puddle left from last week’s rain […]

I Get Intimidated Easily
By: Lyndsay Crews I enjoy meeting new people. However, I get intimidated easily. For example: I picked up my kids from their new preschool. I took a quick assessment of other moms, and then I made an even quicker decision if we could be friends or not. I shamefully based my entire judgment on appearance. […]

Rules: Helpful or Just Annoying?
By: Lyndsay Crews It was Christmas time and we were decorating the house. Each kid had their own stocking and they kept attempting to look in their stocking in case a gift was already left in there. (A gift before Christmas?….They need to go ahead and lower their expectation of this mommy Santa.) My husband […]

Hey, I Want That!
By: Lyndsay Crews Honest mom moment: I enjoy purging toys once the kids seem done with them. One day, my 5 year old found a partially broken slinky after I tossed it in the trash. He reached in the trash, pulled it out (gross!) and acted like it was the best toy ever. He even […]

Ready to Move to Fiji
By: Lyndsay Crews I was having a fat day. I arrived at church and there was my friend, my skinny friend, who just had a baby 3 months ago. My baby was 1 year old and I still struggled with baby weight retention. I listened to people compliment my friend’s body and how “she had […]

Interrupted Me Time
By: Lyndsay Crews During the holiday season, my schedule always seemed more overwhelming than usual. By some Christmas miracle, I managed to squirrel away a few minutes for myself at the gym. I changed out of my yoga pants and into running shorts (that’s when you know it’s getting serious) and then checked my children […]

How to Trade Anxiety for Joy
By: Lyndsay Crews I am a hard-core scheduler. (Side note: As long as your kids are happy and healthy, it doesn’t matter whether you’re super scheduled or super laid back. Every parent has a different parenting style.) But nothing makes you wish you were more laid back than Daylight Savings Time change. All of a […]
