Family Night at a Steakhouse

Posted on August 18, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

We have been wanting to try and do family night every week for a while now, but there always seems to be something that keeps us from doing it. We just keep pushing it back. We finally decided that we were not going to do that anymore, and we were going out! We love going [...]

Buying School Supplies and Election Day!

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Today is a day that will go down in Wymer history. It started out like any other day. We all got up, got ready, and went about our daily business. I was writing freelance articles most of the day, and adding the blog post I should have added the night before but didn’t because I [...]

A Busy Day

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Today was a busy day! We started the day at church. This weather might be getting to them because the kids were not all that great this time. They are never quiet little angels that just sit there and wait for the service to end. We often have crayons and things for them to do, [...]

When Brothers Fight

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

It is crazy how brothers fight, you know it? Having three boys is great. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, and I really mean that. It is not that I have anything against girls, I am sure I would feel the same way if I had three girls, I just don’t. My daughter is [...]

Life in Perspective

Posted on July 31, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Some days come with dark clouds. Sometimes these clouds are literal and sometimes they are figurative. Sometimes they are both. This morning I got up to a headache and overcast skies. The kids were cranky, Jason was cranky, and I was cranky. And the dogs peed on the floor and all the toys and blankets [...]

Is It Time For School Already?

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

After church today, we went to the park with our friends like we do almost every week. While the kids were lethargically playing on this sultry 108°F day, my friend turned to me and said that she was just about done getting all the school supplies for her kids. I just gave her a blank [...]

Why Teenagers Are Easier Than Toddlers

Posted on July 29, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

As a mother of several small children, I am often engaged in small talk with strangers in places like the grocery store and the like. I hear the phrase, “You have your hands full!” more often than any other phrase in the english language. They are right, of course, I do. Lugging around four kids, [...]

When Daddy Is In Charge

Posted on July 22, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

This morning I was going out to campaign for myself and others. I was looking forward to this outing for two reasons: I have never run for anything before, and I was excited to get started, and because I was going to be without kids for a few hours. As much as I love my [...]
