About Jamie Quinlan

I am a thirty something stay at home mom to 3 kids under the ages of 5. I have a million different thoughts going through my head at the same time at each moment and none of them are of any real importance. :) I love argyle, paisley & houndstooth and the color green. I think most restaurant water glasses smell like dog and hate holding my breath when in stinky situations because I think that letting the smell go into my mouth is equally as gross. Cats and ferrets scare the crap out of me and I can't understand why people chose to own them. I love my family and look forward to a time where I am less stressed out on a daily basis and can enjoy them. Connect with me onGoogle+

The Kitchen Is Closed!

Like most parents I know, I am always trying to find magical solutions to problems with my kids and their behavior. Although, I haven’t come up with ways to stop nose picking, arguing with one another and potty talk, I think I may be on to something! Continue Reading...

New Friends

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Jamie Quinlan

When we become mothers, and then for those of us who become “stay at home moms” we find ourselves losing our identity. We wake up to kids demands and rush around getting breakfast made, teeth brushed and socks found, only to continue on with diapers, naps, lunches, bus pick ups, dinners, bath time and then bedtime routines.

You Won’t Understand Until You Have Kids Of Your Own Some Day

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Jamie Quinlan

“You won’t understand until you have kids of your own some day,” my mother used to say to me. Usually it was in relation to how overprotective she was being or how much she loved me. I would roll my eyes like a typical daughter and not even give it a second thought. Continue Reading...
