My four year old took one look at his spaghetti and asked why I melted the meatballs.

The barista just tried to convince me that the Espresso Voltage might be too much this late in the day.

Don’t tell me how to live my life.

I just bribed my 4 year old with a trip to @Target if he stays in his bed. That’s where I’m at with parenting right now.

All day while working from home I have smelt this terrible stench. After logging off for the day I searched for the inevitable pile of feces, assuming the dog was to blame. It was not the dog. My 11 year left his once-sweaty-now-dry socks in the living room. 🤢 #boysaregross

Emotions can enrich our lives, but they can also destroy us.

Perk of having 5 kids: every meal is rated on a 5 star scale. 4 out of 5 kids liked the brown sugar bourbon beef, so I give it a 4 star rating.

Adam was messing with the blinds so I said “Adam Warner...” and gave the look, ya know the stern-mom-look. Then Deklyn started clapping and said “good job saying the right name, Mom!” #encouragementfrommyfiveyearold

I googled “why does Sunday come after Saturday?” today to answer one of my child’s endless questions. #Parenthood

I sneezed and threw out my back. So this is what getting old feels like. 😫

At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out
Someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
Don’t you ever grow up🎶

[Mel White @melalilcious]

To you, everything's funny
You have nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that
Just stay this little
It could stay this simple
Just try to never grow up 🎶

I just had to explain to my 10 year old why it’s ok for planes to fly during a meteor shower. He now thinks I’m the smartest person ever. #parentingwin

There’s nothing more lonely than having something to celebrate, but nobody to celebrate with.

Happy Fourth!

Some days I wish I knew how to cry.

Adam crawling around the living room saying “Quack Quack!” is the cutest.

[Mel White @melalilcious]

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back 🎶

Consider this your warning if you run into me today.
