The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

That’s What She Said: Three Bones


When I think of wishes I think of Pinocchio, his dream was to become a real boy. Everyone needs a dream, wish, or a want in life in order to feel as if you are working towards something of importance for you not just someone else. I remember dreaming of finding my prince charming, hoping one day I would get married, spend forever with someone. I found him. I dreamed I would teach the minds of little ones, I achieved that. I wanted a baby so bad, and now I am currently watching him grow up in front of my eyes. It’s funny how now I may have little hopes and dreams for myself, but my ultimate wish right now is that my son grows up healthy, strong, Godly, and wise. 

Follow Brittany Marchese’s board Boy Mom Reads on Pinterest.

In order to achieve this ultimate goal of having my son grow up into a man of God, I will need to have a backbone. I We will need to stand our ground with rules, expectations, and wants. I am currently reading–on hiatus–Boys Should Be Boys, it’s a wonderful read and everyone that has a boy should read it. One key point in the book is that boys need structure, there minds will run free if you give them the open world. Set times for activities, allow him free play but set boundaries. Boys need time to experience the world, but they need your wisdom and guidance more than anything. 


When you are watching a boy grow up you have to have a funny bone. You have to see the silver lining when the going gets tough, find something that will put a smile on your face, even though it may be hard. There is a time to be funny, and there is a time to be serious. But I think generally speaking your funny bone, is the one that keeps you sane. Keeps you pushing on with your goal, it lets you know that there are brighter days on the other side.

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three.

Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉

Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙
