This post is more about questions than about answers. See this picture? I took it months ago but every time I look at it, I feel like I’ve been given a glimpse of Big Roo as a teenager. The tousled hair. The deep eyes. His skater shirt. All of it. And I start thinking. About [...]

Aaaah Halloween with young boys. An excuse to dress them to your heart’s desire before they start demanding fangs, creepy costumes and lots of fake blood. This year Little Roo donned Big Roo’s old turtle costume (because how could I let that cuteness only be witness for a total of 30 minutes like 3 years [...]

Dear wide-eyed Little Roo, From the moment I held you, I couldn’t get enough. And when you started sleeping through the night at just three months old? HEAVEN! We were both feeling pretty refreshed on most nights. But something changed a few weeks ago… … you began waking up multiple times a night, standing in [...]

I’m Melissa. Most people call me Mel. I’m a mama to two boys and a lover of all things outdoors. I'm a marketer who hearts good grammar. I also love Twitter, my Mac and all things techy.
This is Daddy Roo. We met in 1995, got married in 2000 and had Big Roo seven years later. Yeah, we like to take our time. Daddy Roo plays soccer, loves cooking more than I do and takes sarcasm to a level few people can. He’s awesome.
Big Roo is our 4-year-old ball of energy. He’s all boy except for the pink bear he carries around. I embrace the contradiction. He’s already a fan of hiking and camping.
The youngest of the Roo family. He loves eating kiwis, chasing his brother and swinging in our backyard. He also loves attacking his brother with a squeal of laughter.
