I’ve really been struggling this month with Zane and discipline. It has been more than a month but it’s starting to wear on me more this month. I feel like I’m loosing my mind. I think that is not just one thing that is causing the craziness in our house. I think it is a [...]
WFMW: Glitter Mac-n-Cheese
My two year old loves anything that starts with the word special. My two year old is also a very reluctant eater. Which seems to be a common two year old ailment. So I thought I would share what Works for Me! The other night my son did not want to eat anything for dinner. [...]
I ♥ Faces: Little Pink Cheeks
I found this new photography meme so that I thought I would try it out. This weeks theme is pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Well there isn’t that much pink in my house so it took me a little bit to find a photo that would fit this theme. This photo is [...]
My Place and Yours: Diaper Box
As you may have noticed I have two boys in diapers. I live in a two story house which makes it so I have to make diapering stations. Downstairs I wanted somewhere where I could have everything I needed but make it blend in to the decor. I found this box at Michael’s and thought [...]
One tough guy!
I have this feeling that Zane is going to make sure that Zarek is one tough guy. I was an only child so to watch these interactions between the boys is something new to me. I know that it will happen and it really shows me where the psychology of first child and second child [...]
Autumn is here…
..and with autumn comes a new look for Pepper Scraps. I liked my old design but it was time for something new and more simple. I think this fits the theme behind my blog also. It reminds me more of little scraps of paper… of my life… of me. I’m very proud of myself because [...]
Little Mama’s Boy
My little man has a cold. Just a little snuffly nose and a fever, but it has brought out the Mama’s Boy in him. All day yesterday he just snuggled on me. He didn’t want to be set down. When I set him down to run and get some things downstairs he just laid his [...]
Our Morning Visitor
This little guy was on our screen door this morning. TJ caught him to show to Zane and Zarek. Zarek liked him, he reached out and grabbed the glass he was in. Zane thought he was pretty cool and even said, “Mantis”. We called a couple people we knew who may like to keep him. [...]
Our little reader
Zane loves to “read” every nap time and evening. He loves to “read” himself to sleep. He will look through the pages over and over. He even memorizes what is on the pages. Which our little boy has a huge library for his age, but he can tell you about the monkey’s eating pop-a-cicles and [...]
