Sleep is one of my most talked about subjects, just ask any of my friends on Facebook! I’m constantly posting about how the boys slept, how I slept, what woke me up, etc. And you blog readers know that I like to post about this topic, too. 🙂 So a few weeks ago, when I …
There is a commercial on TV that is urging parents to buy a certain program so kids can get “a head start on learning.” I truly believe that pushing a child is not going to work for his/her education. I think surrounding them in a proper learning environment can be extremely beneficial. I am, by …
We recently took Captain Fussybuckets to the doctor for his 3rd year well child checkup and the pediatrician asked us if he was taking a daily vitamin. I proudly said “yes!” and she asked which one and I said “some gummy.” She then went on to give me a lecture about how gummies don’t have …
As some of you may know, the 3 year old, Captain Fussybuckets, has been having issues about sleeping in his own bed. Some of it is his age, some of it is the fact that he’s been sick a lot lately, but, almost every night for the past few months, he’s been making his way …
Grammy and Grampy bought Captain Fussybuckets these awesome blue chairs and kids’ table from IKEA and they have been SO beneficial to the Captain (and Mommy and Daddy, in some ways…) We run into them in the dark and are CONSTANTLY moving blue chairs back to their place.

2011. A lot of good things happened to our family in 2011. Likewise, a lot of not so great things happened in 2011. I can’t believe that it has almost been a year since we resigned our positions as houseparents at the children’s home. In some ways, it seems like just yesterday that we were …
It seems like we’ve had a rough couple of months here at the Fussybuckets House. First, a stomach virus that hit the Captain right before his birthday party, then a cold that affected both boys, then another stomach virus that affected 3/4 of us for a few days, and now, here we are in the …
We had a great Christmas Eve at Grandma’s and then Christmas Day here at home. The boys got to wear their jammies to church and we had a great lunch with some great friends! Here’s hoping that you and yours had and continue to have an awesome holiday! The cousins (minus sleeping Baby D) …
You may have noticed that things were quiet on the blog this weekend. Then again, maybe you didn’t, because it’s a crazy hectic time of year! All of us except for Daddy had the stomach bug towards the end of last week, and then got well just in time to head to my side of …
