The Dilemma of a M.O.M.

By Anonymous
Ideally I try to go to the grocery store in the evenings after Mr. Hubs comes home and all three of the kids are in bed.
Realistically I'm tired at night and it's easier to lug Shrek and Donkey to the stores so that we can do our errands in the day.
This being said....I have a problem. When I have major shopping to do I will "wear" one baby and put the other one in the cart. When I have a small list I will put both boys in the cart, somehow. 1.) because it is a pain to take a baby out of the car seat and wrangle them into the carrier. 2.) they are HEAVY!

Today we had to go to Sam's (we needed formula!) and then to Target to get a few things we had run out of. I'm really glad my lists were short because this is what I faced today....
Sam's Club
Target

Carts are not exactly made for multiples. It makes shopping difficult.  Where do I put my stuff!?

    I used to use my snap and go stroller when mine were that size, if it was a short trip, and if I could fit what I needed in the basket on the bottom. :). Good luck.

Hurt So Good

By Anonymous
Ever done something that hurts, is hard, and you want to quit, but when you are done it feels so good??? That's how this week has gone for me. This week on my fitness tour brought me to Revved Fitness.   And it hurt so good. Revved is almost identical to Orangetheory. They do a combination of cardio and strength. You wear a heart rate monitor and the goal is to to elevate your heart rate and work in certain zones. The only difference I noticed is that Revved uses stationary bikes for cardio and Orangetheory uses treadmills. Revved offers a 7 day trial for $10. I signed up online and went to my first class Monday morning. Monday morning came and was stormy, early, and a line was almost out the door when I arrived. Yikes! I signed in and wandered into the room. It was a BIG class. All the bikes were full, and there were people on rowers and the strength area. The trainer split us in half. Half the class started with strength the other half started with cardio. I got in the stre

Potty Mouth

You would think I would be referring to myself or Mr. Mayer. But, no. I'm talking about the precocious little girl that lives in this house. "I cleaned my room damn good." Wait. What? That was the sentence Diva told me a few weeks ago when I asked her if she had cleaned her room. I was in shock. Mr. Mayer was stifling a laugh. Diva was dead serious. A few days after that she came downstairs and told me to "Tell those damn boys to leave my damn toys alone." Apparently her brother's were messing with her Barbies. We have also had the occasional "damn it" when she drops something or spills something. It was super embarrassing when we were at Target and she dropped a toy in the toy department and said "damn it." Thankfully there was no one around to hear her. Diva's um...creative (?) vocabulary started as soon as she started speaking. She has always used big words, whether she knew what they meant or not. Mr. Mayer and I are totally

Nana Karen's Red Sauce and Meatballs~ Oh My!

By Anonymous
When I am in the mood for comfort food my mind immediately goes to Spaghetti and Meatballs. It has been my favorite for as long as I can remember. My version of the dish consists of jarred sauce and ground beef or frozen meatballs because I didn't know how to make meatballs. Enter Nana Karen. When I was pregnant with Shrek and Donkey there wasn't much I could do the further along I got. Nana Karen would come over about once a week and make dinner and help me with whatever. She was a God send. It was an enormous help. One of the things she would make was Spaghetti and Meatballs. Wow! She made homemade sauce and from scratch meatballs. Every time I eat this dish I am in heaven. Nana Karen is an old school cook. She doesn't measure anything and makes everything from memory. A few weeks ago she found a pasta maker that her and I have been playing with and making homemade pasta. If you have never had homemade pasta it is divine!  She came over today to make some pasta.
