Mostly parents because it was a long time since we were grade school with our noses in books. Though if you can remember back that far, by all means chime in! I’m looking for books that my boys have to read! I want book ideas for my nearly 10-year-old, whom reads at a 6th grade [...]
Broken Hearted
Posted November 27th 2012 by kmarrsSometimes it’s the little things that mean the most to me. Like Pat, Thomas and I getting matching monogrammed stockings for T’s first Christmas. My mom bought them for us. Then gladly bought one for Luke when he entered our life. When Sammy’s turn came mom was happy to purchase again, when I realized they [...]
Giving Thanks
Posted October 31st 2012 by kmarrsI suppose it’s a month early, but I’m very thankful this week.

Then the bank that was selling, since it was a foreclosure, made a rather large change to the deal, and we said “hell no” and now there is no house. There was a significant amount [...]
Professor Positive
Posted May 11th 2012 by kmarrsFive things to be positive about. One for each member of my family. Smallest to tallest. 1. Sammy has learned to hold her own bottle. And while there are plenty of times I don’t mind having both hands occupied with feeding her, it is rather nice to cradle her in one arm, and do something [...]
Diagnostic Duo
Posted May 10th 2012 by kmarrsUgh, I’ve been wording this post for like 3 weeks now in my head and hours into days on paper. I need to get it out but there is so very much to say. 2 boys, in various stages of being diagnosed, with various behavior issues. All at once, it’s a lot. But I’m hoping [...]
