During deployment, and managing the solo parenting gig, it’s hard to evenly disperse myself between all three children. The girls get me all day long while my son is in school, but when he comes home I’m then dividing myself between three children. He never really gets me all to himself. So, when I can…
@semperfimomma Brownies: 1 small jar nutella, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 2 eggs. Bake @350 for about 20-30 minutes. — Dawn M Gibson (@DawnMGibson) August 31, 2012 As you can see by the tweet above, I was quite excited a few weeks ago to have survived my first week of Kindergarten. And, you can see the…

This past weekend I was cutting up some strawberries for my kiddos, and after slicing the tops off would put them…
