When the 3-year-old is a little OCD and really proud of his clean-up job and throws a GIANT fit because the 1-year-old yanks toys out right after it’s done. #ifeelyoukid #cleaningispointless #buildscharacter

I am the spectacle (see what I did there) of “hot new-mom mess,” but when I look at this picture, I see such strength and beauty. I love how happy / tired I look and my arms are as full as my heart. These days, my boys are growing to where I can barely fit them both on my lap. You will not find a prouder mom of two boys with giant personalities. I’ll take the mess and the aching body any day. The love and laughter far exceed the difficulties. #tbt

For all my non-AZ friends, we suffer through the oven-summers to make it to this. Cheers to my friend Mike for a gorgeous shot from the mountain that was in the backyard of my condo. I’d run to the mountain, run up, run down and run back. Now I push a stroller with two children, but you know… that’s fun too 😉

When I hear the boys playing together and then start giggling, I don’t think “Oh how cute. They’re playing nicely together.” I think “They are doing something dangerous and/or illegal.” This conclusion is obviously reached by a proven track record. #sendwinandchocolate

Josh: “Mommeee!!!! (In genuine concern) Your hair’s not working!!!”

I got news for you kid. You and your brother are the reasons my hair is not working. *he proceeds to smooth down my hair then steps back, looking satisfied*
