Last week at the library, Ruby found the audio book for The Wizard of Oz. I was a little hesitant because I haven’t had huge success with audiobooks in the car with the kids, but she was eager so we checked it out. And they couldn’t get enough of it. We went for several extra … Continue reading Days with my babies

The Tucker ladies take Waco
My mom made it to Texas first. She flew into Dallas on Tuesday. There was lots of hugging and celebratory Chick-fil-A. Then we drove the kids over to Shelly’s so mom and i could go to the Dallas Temple. The Dallas Temple has some gorgeous artwork inside. It was really nice to go and spend … Continue reading The Tucker ladies take Waco
Just a homeschool day
The very start of the day is often one of my favorites. Today, I started with a few minutes alone with Marc. I held him in bed before he got up to scrub up and get ready for the day. Then I walked into the kitchen to get the water boiling for oatmeal. Ruby walked … Continue reading Just a homeschool day
Dental school friends visit
Marc graduated in the height of covid so there were no graduation parties, farewells, or goodbyes with our dental school buddies that we had been together with the last four years. So when two of our dental school favorites asked if they could come visit us, we went all Mr. Kool-Aid, “OH YEAH!” For weeks … Continue reading Dental school friends visit
homeschool
“Back to school” is a funny phrase when it’s your “first to school.” Ruby is our big kindergarten girl and we tried out a few school festivities that I hope may turn into back to school traditions. Ruby and I had a back to school shopping date together. Since it was a “date” Ruby requested … Continue reading homeschool

I have never really been a bath person, but I am quickly changing my ways. It’s my … Continue reading We bought a house!!
Fancy Restaurant
This afternoon, when the day was creeping toward the bewitching hour when children (and mothers) can get a little moody, Ruby had the brilliant idea that we should make a fancy restaurant for Marc to come home to. So first we had to send a formal invitation to him. Next, I had some happy, and … Continue reading Fancy Restaurant
We are not regular moms…
We are cool moms. Marc and a bunch of guys from the neighborhood went out for wings and to see the latest Fast and Furious movie. Why? Because we are not in quarantine and the movie theaters are actually open again. Duh. So I wanted to make some fun plans too with my herd of … Continue reading We are not regular moms…
Fireflies
One of the best things about the start of Summer in Texas is fireflies. They come out right at twilight and are all but gone by the time evening has really set in, there is a perfect magic sweet spot. So throwing bed time out the window, we let the kids stay up to see … Continue reading Fireflies
Good and hard & hard and good
Today started out with Levi having double pink eye, Ruby peeing her pants all over the bathroom floor next to the toilet, and Hazel making herself a water sensory bin all over the kitchen floor before 7:15. Hello Monday! We see you. And the day ended with me snuggled on the floor next to Ruby … Continue reading Good and hard & hard and good
