Continue reading →: When You Can, CuddleCuddling is a scarce thing for me and my husband these days. We practice bedsharing, and the tiniest member of our family takes up the most space, usually between us, not leaving a lot of room for cuddling with my man. But last night, we were forced to do so…

More popularly known as Salcedo Park, it is one of the more well-maintained outdoor parks I’ve been to. It has pretty spacious grounds and a big playground…

Continue reading →: {Toddler Crime} Crayon Scribbles EVERYWHEREA couple of days ago, I gave my son a bunch of crayons, an empty notebook, and some freedom. I left him for a bit to wash dishes, and I come back to this: A bunch of crayons, an empty notebook, and a floor covered in crayon scribbles.

Ever since we moved to the new place I’ve been challenging myself in different ways. During my first year of mommyhood I was pretty much held back by post-partum anxiety (more on this next time, when I have the words to explain). I focused on getting better, moving past it…

You’ve seen it before: Wild-eyed parents, one inhaling food, the other running after a tornado cute, adorable toddler. This is our life every time we go out to eat. Having an incredibly energetic one year old with an insatiable zest for sockets, trash cans and industrial fans, leaving the house…

The past two weeks have been pretty horrid for us, sleep-wise. Naps are awesome, but the night time brings with it a ton of wakings, frustration and obviously, lack of sleep. I’ve been attributing this madness to his teething (4 little buggers are coming in), and we’re giving homeopathic teething…

Hello,
I’m Kris
Wife to an amazing man and mother to two crazy kids I would burn the whole world down for. I love to write, and so I write. I also love to draw, but I’m not very good at it. I do real estate and own a business. It’s a lot. And it’s a mess, sorry I didn’t have time to fix up. Come in, but watch your step! There’s probably some spilled snacks on the floor. And some Legos. But that’s okay, the couch is cozy and the coffee is hot. Let’s make chika!
