My daughter has been scribbling in a pink notebook with a unicorn on it. She just informed me this is her “notebook of doom”. Obviously.

I find it’s easier to have peace in your home if you don’t tell your husband what you’ve seen happen to his toothbrush while he’s at work.

Sign you live in Nebraska:
The local news literally suggests keeping an eye on your pets because of the strong wind.

Child came out of bed claiming he couldn’t sleep because his bed was too hot, but our bed would be too cold. When I dreamed my life would someday be a fairytale, I wasn’t imagining Goldilocks.

The kids misheard the name of our governor and are under the impression he is Governor Ironman (it’s actually Heineman). They are now taking an increased interest in politics.

I realized Danny thinks “Let it Go” from Frozen is a song about feeling free to break wind in public. I listened to the song again. He may be right.

May we never become so calloused that we stop crying when we watch McQueen push The King over the finish line.

It’s always right after you tell the man at your door who is running for state senate that you’re a foster parent that your naked two year-old (potty training) decides to come up and introduce himself. Keeping it classy.

Josh (age 7) knew it was going to be a hard fostering day for me so he left sweet notes around the house “so you won’t be sad, Mom.” For those who are concerned about the effect being a foster family would have on your kids, let me tell you the positive effects are pretty amazing as their hearts become tender and their compassion increases.

Maralee’s Housekeeping Tip: If you have young boys and want the bathroom to be pee free when guests come over, wait until your guests pull up to your house, then frantically clean the bathroom. Any cleaning prior to that moment will be wasted.

Me: Guys, come look at the sunset! It’s beautiful!
Bethany: God make that just for me? Because I been so good? Oh, he’s the best God I ever had.
