13 Lessons from When My Website Crashed for 11 Days

If you visited this website in the past eleven days, you might have seen a disaster scene, a blank website, a ghost town. But I have good news. As you can see, I am back in business. When my website crashed, I learned quite a few lessons through the process of trying to get storiesofourboys.com back up. I am going to tell you all about it. For eleven whole days, storiesofourboys.com was wiped off the face of the internet. It […]

funny boy mom quotes

As a mom of four boys, I love coming across cute quotes about being a boy mom. These are all quotes about being a boy mom that anyone raising a boy, or two, or seven, will enjoy. I created fun pictures for some of them too so you can save them on Pinterest. I tend to save more funny quotes than I do helpful articles. Ha! Or I save the helpful content on Pinterest, but I do not actually ever […]

Quarantine Family Home Tour

Normally on this blog, I tend to visit new places and post photos of them. I also go house hunting every 1-3 years, since I am a military wife, that has been our lot. Since nowadays we, like everyone else in the world, stay home all the time, I thought I would give you a tour of my house instead, or at least the interesting parts of my house. I am officially not allowed to show you the boys’ rooms. […]

We just got home from spending 10 days with our family down South. I can say with complete sincerity that it was a fun, fulfilling, trip.

We were on a BREAK!! (a blogging break)

blog, funny stories, parenting

Last year I began to get burned out on the blog. It used to be this thing that I ran to for stress relief, but somehow it didn’t feel like that anymore. The blog started to feel like work, and I started caring about what other people thought about what I wrote, which isn’t like me. Weird. I blogged out of obligation, so naturally, those posts weren’t as fun to read, and I’ve been thinking about it again lately. Why? […]

Funny Fridays: Taking 6 Kids to an Art Museum & Other Stories

4 kids, big family life, family, funny stories

When we went to D.C. this summer, I insisted we go and visit my favorite painting in the world, which happens to be at the National Gallery of Art on the National Mall. While we were there, we perused the collections, along with our friend Amy and her children. I thought the day was going amazingly well. We took 6 kids through a museum where you are supposed to be quiet, and I felt like we did a heroic job. […]

******This is the 11th chapter in the series The Real Army Wives, stories from a young military bride from the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, 2003.****** I tell you this particular chapter with hesitation and humility.

Good-bye Summer

family, funny stories, parenting

Only 1 more day until school starts back!!!  Yay!!!! Y’all, I might have overdone it this summer. Hmmm, Israel, Washington, D.C., trips back and forth to my parents’ as well as Alan’s parents’ house, camps, and the beach!!??? Who does that? It was wonderful, and yet it was also like eating way too much at an all-you-can-eat donut buffet. I definitely over-packed this summer with fun activities. Lesson learned. Schedule more down time. Of course, next summer is a moving […]
