Facing a Potential Celiac Diagnosis

February 27, 2017 By Sarah Schultz 1008612 CommentsFacing+a+Potential+Celiac+Diagnosis2017-02-27+13%3A28%3A47Sarah+Schultz

Braden just turned 7 years old, not even a month ago, and I wrote about how I wanted to start taking them to the doctor for annual well-checks as I’ve been neglecting to do this since they turned 1. Oops. I only take the boys to the doctor when they’re sick, which is unfortunately too […]

The boy who made me a mom is now seven years old today. S-E-V-E-N. Seven seems like a pretty big number…and it’s making me feel old that I have a 7 year old now! He’s really a great kid, and I’ll tell you more about him. Braden at 7: Weight: 45 lbs (gained 3+ lbs […]

These 6 years have flown by…especially the last year. He’s in kindergarten and thriving, starting to score goals (and has the taste for it!) in Tykes hockey! Turning 6 doesn’t really phase me as a parent that much as I’ve been calling him “almost 6” for months when people have been asking how old our […]

Why I’m Glad We Didn’t Rush Into Kindergarten

November 25, 2015 By Sarah Schultz 87106 Comments2015-11-25+13%3A30%3A58Sarah+Schultz

Our first-born was due towards the end of January, and before my mom even knew if it would be a boy or a girl (stereotypically, it does seem to matter when it comes to maturity and school), she all but begged me to “hold your child back” from starting kindergarten too young. It ended up […]

Braden’s First Day of Kindergarten

September 2, 2015 By Sarah Schultz 84994 CommentsBraden%27s+First+Day+of+Kindergarten2015-09-02+18%3A55%3A26Sarah+Schultz

Braden’s birthday is at the end of January, and even when I had an end-of-January due date, I always knew he’d be starting kindergarten when he was 4-turning-5 years old. It blows my mind that he could have started kindergarten last year, but I’m so glad we made the decision to put him in later […]

Braden is 5.5 Years Old!

Our oldest is closer to 6 than 5 now and because of a busy summer, his 1/2 birthday post is over a week late! However, it was worth it because I got some pretty great pictures of this handsome little fella! By the way, he picked his outfit from head to toe, including the belt […]

Our First Year of Hockey

March 28, 2015 By Sarah Schultz 77223 CommentsOur+First+Year+of+Hockey2015-03-28+15%3A43%3A47Sarah+Schultz

I remember that smell. I can’t even describe what it smells like, but it smells like my childhood: the smell of a hockey arena. I grew up a rink rat, I was on the ice 6 days a week, sometimes twice a day because I was a competitive figure skater. If I wasn’t practicing I […]

Braden is 5 Years Old!

Five is a pretty significant milestone. I’m not welling up with tears at the thought of my first born turning 5, or even that he will start kindergarten in the fall…I’m embracing every precious year we have and celebrating it! It also probably helps me come to grips that he’s 5 because he’s been telling […]

Braden is 4.5 Years Old!

Now Braden is starting to have “2nd child syndrome”! I have not been as on-the-ball with my update posts on the kids as I normally would be…but a few days late isn’t so bad, better late than never! Braden is very happy that he just had his 1/2 birthday because now he is officially closer […]

Unplugged and Unwell

If any of you are regular friends or followers of mine on here, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram you might have noticed that I’ve not really been around that much. That all started on Sunday night when Ethan had a stomach bug. I’ve never had to stay up with a sick kid in my 4 years […]
