What was I thinking?

Three kids 2 years apart! My first two aren't quite 2 years apart. They were okay. It was when I threw baby boy into the mix it all went CRAZY. The two oldest are fine to handle when it was just them. The fighting, and yelling at each other, I could handle b/c I didn't have a infant NEEDING me 24/7 Baby boy is a GREAT baby, but I want to snuggle with him too, show him the undivided attention the other two had. It's HARD to do that when you have a 4 year old constantly telling me what to do (or so he thinks) and a 2 year old throwing tantrums! The tantrums didn't REALLY start til now. Maybe it's because she will be 3 in a week. Age 3 was worse than age 2 with my son, why should I expect any less with my barbie doll? As they get older, I know they will still fight and their attitudes will be even worse. BUT I pray they will listen a little better. Like not be so forgetful?? Sigh, next week I'll have a 4 yo,3yo,&5mo. I love them tho. I really do. No matter how much of a "mean mommy" I can be sometimes.

Recipe for a Good Start Contest!

As Moms, we all have our own recipes for giving our kids the best possible childhood and a great start in life. Whether those ingredients include encouraging our kids to try their hardest or promoting their imagination and creativity, our hope is that our children will grow up to be happy and well-adjusted adults. Family time is an undoubtedly important part of that recipe, and making sure the family sits together at the dinner table at least once a week is a great, but challenging way to fit it in.

Ragú® offers moms hundreds of nutritious, convenient, delicious and affordable meal ideas- perfect for busy families on the go. From making sure the kids get their veggies (Ragú® red sauces contain more than a full serving of veggies in every half cup of sauce) to skip-a-step recipes like No Boiling Lasagna and No Frying Chicken Parmesan, Ragú® understands your hectic lifestyle and desire to feed your family quality meals at a great value.

Now, Ragú® is teaming up with actress and mom Molly Ringwald to promote the Recipe for a Good Start Contest asking moms to share their recipes for a good start for a chance to win a $5,000 college scholarship. By visiting www.recipeforagoodstart.com, you'll have a chance to submit your recipe for a good start in life and your original Ragú® recipe that has the family running to the dinner table! Three first prize winners will be awarded a family trip to New York City where they will compete in a nationally televised Ragú® Recipe Challenge for the chance to win the ultimate prize of a $5,000 college scholarship.

Get those recipes in to Ragu Mamas!!

"Disclosure: I was entered for a chance to win a Ragú® family package in exchange for this post. No monetary exchange took place."

How Lucky Am I?

I am so excited to have been chosen to try these products out on my children!

I opened the package, and the first thing I did was smell! *because that's always the first test, right!?* and they smell so good. I got the kids to try and they agreed! Actually, My little Barbie thought it was purfume and wanted me to rub it on her arm!!

I will def. be letting you know how the trial goes, but guess what!?

One lucky reader gets a whole set as well!

And Now Im Back, From Outer space

Okay, Maybe not outer space....
But A LOT has happened in the past year I haven't blogged about.

I am now a mommy to THREE! yes, count them beauties! I added updated pictures on the right hand side plus added baby boys!

It's stressful most of the time. But at the end of the day, I'm pretty darn happy. Richard is still driving a rig over the road. So that's my main stress in life. Raising our children mostly by myself. But I have to be doing something right b/c they are such lovely kids. We are battling with HYPERNESS right now, but that's what you get when you're on the 2 year plan. Right? I have a 4 yr old who knows it ALL, a 2 year old that is the prissiest, meanest, sweetest thing you'll ever lay your eyes on & a 4 month old, who is a complete booby baby. I have mastered the art of hollering at kids to clean their mess up, WHILE cleaning their mess up, WHILE breastfeeding a baby! Poor baby boy probably thinks he's on a ride you can eat on too! I'm up & down all day long.

I've really gotten stung by the domestic bug! I want to cook different things. Also I'm interested in cooking ahead and freezing them. ANYTHING that makes my life a little easier! I actually froze my first meal today. I made meatballs, the kids loved them, then I froze the leftovers for a future meal. I'm taking knitting classes and starting to sew. I'm really interested in making the kids clothes. I don't understand the patterns, but Ill find someone who can help. I'll be posting things I make or TRY to make!
