ameliar
I am Amelia. I am a wife and mother to three energetic, fun, and lovable boys, twin 8 year olds and a 5 year old. We love going to parks, playgrounds, and new kid-friendly places all around Kansas City. My boys generally have their shoes off and have mad skills in climbing up the slides. I struggle when it comes to keeping up with laundry. I would much rather write or post about it than actually fold it and put it away. I have been a Certified Child Life Specialist for twelve years. My work experiences impact the ways I mother my boys, for both the good tendencies and the over-paranoid ones. I think the connections we create when we genuinely and honestly relate to one another, especially as moms, help make life beautiful and meaningful.

Help Needed
Having twins is crazy, mesmerizing, beautiful and unexplainable. Also, overwhelmingly hard.
You work constantly, as a mother, to make sure each individual boy knows how very unique and special he is. All the while knowing...
Teaching Kids About Death, Dying and Funerals
Sometimes my kids ask me relatively simple questions to answer. A case in point:
"Do zombies poop their pants, Mom?"
Since zombies aren't functioning at the highest level, I assume they aren't too focused on making...
