Life with the Littles-A lifestyle blog of living with five littles.
Remember this? Tomorrow is Audition, round 2! Here’s to hoping that my luck becomes lucky!
Until then, I’ll leave you with a current fave. My littlest currently loves to play a game that makes my heart smile. He’ll close his eyes and then ask, “Dat (aka Thatcher)?” He wants you to guess where he is until he opens his eyes and expects you to be surprised that he’s right there.
On Pierson’s 3rd birthday, we had him return his pacifiers to the hospital for ‘babies who need them.’ For a long while, he has used the pacifier only for going to sleep and for many months we told him that when he turned three, he would give them away to babies who needed them. So on his birthday, we made the trek to the hospital. I’m pretty sure that letting go of those suckers was harder on the momma than on him. But, it needed to be done or else I envisioned him taking his senior pictures with the pacifier as a prop. I’ve been pleasantly surprised that though he has asked about his paci several more times, no tears were shed during the withdrawal process. Here’s a video of how it went down:
And just so Thatcher doesn’t get left out–
Are you tired of your same ole hair products? Does it hurt your pocketbook to spend $25.00 on an ounce of hair gel?
Well then…Have we got the product for you!
Homemade Hair Gel
Ingredients: Equal parts of syrup and yogurt.
Directions: Place both ingredients separately on a plate or in bowls. Rub the plate into hair. This product works instantly and is best used right before church on Sundays. Works like a charm and is cost-efficient too!

Gender Reveal parties are currently in vogue. The internet has EXPLODED with gender reveal parties! Whether on Pinterest, blogs I follow like this and this, or a simple google search, they are EVERYWHERE! I’ve had friends that have had them too (hi, Andrea!). While that’s fine and great and I’m secretly envious that people make the time to have such fun, here’s why a gender reveal party doesn’t work for me.
1. I am TERRIBLE planner.
2. I’m lazy.
3. I’m cheap.
4. I repeat: I’m a terrible planner.
So, welcome to the lazy mom’s ONLINE gender reveal party. Kick back, throw off your shoes, & grab a ding dong and pretend it’s colored in the middle. Stuff your face because it’s time to party!
Now, mouse over the picture then off again and enjoy our “ONLINE” Gender Reveal party! (Mom, this might not work on an iphone…not sure about that…Also, it doesn’t work in a reader, so click on over!)
WHOOHOO! Now to answer any questions. Yes, I am pregnant. Yes, the cupcake tasted fabulous. Yes, we’re excited. Yes, I’m still lazy.
