"My invisible compass says we're lost" -Dominic

I have to start by saying that I have three incredible children. While my life is full of drama, tears, fights, messes and financial strain, I go to bed every night thanking God for giving me my babies. Even if I have tears in my eyes from the stressful day I had. I don't think my experiences with my kids are out of the ordinary. I decided to share them to show other parents that there is no need to worry because there are other kids out there that are just as off the wall as their own.

My main inspiration for all of this is my middle child, Dominic. Of my three genetic gems, I would have to say he keeps me on my toes the most. My parenting skills have been put to the test (and sometimes failed, I must admit), constantly proving to me that I am never really done growing as a parent, that I do not know it all. I have resorted to extremely creative parenting techniques because of him and I have learned that what works for some, may not work for others.

I'm really looking forward to sharing (and documenting for trips down memory lane) all the random, crazy, weird, and amazing things my kids (and sometimes other people's kids) say and do.
